Media and Water : Communication, Culture and Perception
As flooding, drought and water scarcity become more pronounced due to climate change, so the way in which these events are presented in the media assumes greater significance.In particular, the media plays an important role in shaping the public perception and understanding of water issues, and debates around extreme weather events more generally. Joanne Garde-Hansen’s book offers a sustained and comprehensive exploration of media representations of water.Drawing on a wide range of media – including newspapers, digital, photography, radio, television and video, as well as empirical research on media and memory – she examines how drought, flooding and water management have been portrayed in the media, both historically and in the contemporary world.The use of the media by water institutions to manage public perceptions and the use of digital media by the public to engage with water companies is also included. A particular feature of the book is an examination of water and gender in developed nations.One of the first books to look at media representations of water, this pioneering work provides valuable insights for both scholarly and professional water research.

Can we always trust our perception?
Our perception can be influenced by various factors such as our past experiences, emotions, and biases, which can sometimes lead to inaccuracies in how we interpret the world around us. Therefore, it is important to be aware of these potential biases and limitations in order to make more informed decisions. While our perception can provide valuable information about our environment, it is not always completely reliable, and it is important to verify information through multiple sources and perspectives.

How do self-perception and perception of others differ?
Self-perception refers to how an individual sees and evaluates themselves, including their abilities, traits, and behaviors. It is influenced by personal experiences, beliefs, and self-awareness. On the other hand, perception of others involves how individuals view and interpret the characteristics, behaviors, and intentions of other people. This perception is influenced by social and cultural factors, as well as personal biases and stereotypes. While self-perception is based on introspection and self-reflection, perception of others is often based on external observations and interactions.

What is the relationship between stimulus and perception?
Stimulus refers to any event or object in the environment that elicits a response from our sensory organs, such as seeing a red apple or feeling a warm breeze. Perception, on the other hand, is the process by which we interpret and make sense of these stimuli. It involves the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information to understand the world around us. In other words, stimulus is the input that triggers our sensory organs, while perception is the output, or the way our brain processes and interprets that input.

The Expulsion of the Other : Society, Perception and Communication Today
The days of the Other are over in this age of excessive communication, information and consumption.What used to be the Other, be it as friend, as Eros or as hell, is now indistinguishable from the self in our narcissistic desire to assimilate everything and everyone until there are no boundaries left.The result is a 'terror of the Same', lives in which we no longer pursue knowledge, insight and experience but are instead reduced to the echo chambers and illusory encounters offered by social media.In extreme cases, this feeling of disorientation and senselessness is compensated through self-harm, or even harming others through acts of terrorism.Byung-Chul Han argues that our times are characterized not by external repression but by an internal depression, whereby the destructive pressure comes not from the Other but from the self.It is only by returning to a society of listeners and lovers, by acknowledging and desiring the Other, that we can seek to overcome the isolation and suffering caused by this crushing process of total assimilation.

What are perception mechanisms?
Perception mechanisms are the processes by which individuals interpret and make sense of sensory information from the environment. These mechanisms involve the brain receiving, organizing, and interpreting sensory inputs such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Perception mechanisms help individuals to understand and navigate their surroundings, allowing them to form perceptions, make decisions, and take actions based on the information they receive. These mechanisms can be influenced by factors such as past experiences, emotions, and cognitive biases.
