The aim of this paper is a socio-philosophical analysis of attention deficit phenomenon, which is being detected at the intersection of several subject areas (psychiatry, theory of journalism, economics). The main methodological instrument of the study is a Marxist principle of alienation. Alienation of attention, which, on the one hand, is being understood as a process of producing attention as a commodity, and on the other one – as the process of producing a person as a user of the platform, provides the methodological basis, necessary for a holistic view of the phenomenon. The main differences of attention alienation from alienation of labor and desire are considered within the paper. The possibility of a modern form of alienation is associated primarily with the emergence of the new forms of capital – platforms, providing infrastructure for the interaction of other users and aimed at collection and procession of large amounts of data. The main aspects of attention management: game, content sharing and design have been distinguished within the paper. The main consequences of alienation of attention for the structure of the individual and society have been spelled out. The effects of the spread of gaming techniques of attention management and content distribution techniques specific to social networks have been considered. It being is suggested that there is a correlation between the spread of ADHD diagnosis and the spread of attention management technologies, and, as well, between the distribution of attention management technology and the ‘renaissance’ of social in the social theory.

Perceived risk is a crucial factor in the social dilemmas surrounding the risks and hazards of the environment. This paper reviews behavioral research on perceived risk of the public and experts, giving special attention to nuclear waste risk. Experts and the public frequently have very different views of risk, and three cases are distinguished and explanations for the differences between experts and the public are outlined. Theories and models of perceived risk are then discussed. Most theories have been found to have only low or modest explanatory power with regard to level of perceived risk, and even less when it comes to risk acceptability. It is pointed out that risk perception is probably less cognitive than has previously been believed, and that such factors as attitudes and moral values play a crucial role.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the audience practices of the TV series as a type of visual culture of Postmodern. Parameters of the transformation of Modern visual practices in the context of the series presenting as a culture industry and their role in changing the anthropological model are considered. The significance of the consumption of TV series as a type of postmodern cultural industry, which produces a human as a TV series-viewer, is postulated. Such visual means of the serial industry as spoilers, suspense, Easter eggs, which are producing postmodernist types of visual interactivity, are revealed. Appealing to the basic concepts of postmodernist philosophy allows the author to research the following transformations of the audience practices connected to the TV series: fragmentation as opposed to a consistent and complete system as a modern form of hierarchy, speaking out against the conventional authorities – the "death of the author", irony, equal game-like participation of both authors and consumers. The basic characteristics of Postmodern culture are represented by an analysis of the works of such authors as U. Eko, I. Hasan, T. Adorno and M. Horkheimer, Z. Bauman, J. Baudrillard, S. Lash, F. Jameson, M. Foucault, P. Bourdieu, J. Liotard. The study of the series is a productive area of scientific research in the field of humanitarian knowledge as foreign (J. Mittell, M. Fleisfeder, M. Voitin, V. Kurinny, A. Khitrov, K. Pevzner, O. Akopov, N. Zakharchenko, I. Tuzovsky, Y. Belenkiy), as well as domestic (M. Sobutsky, L. Voznesensky, and others) researchers who consider this concept in various aspects. Postmodern, producing a new cultural product – a series, and even the production of a new cultural industry for the production of serials is not only limited to the industrialization of culture, but is carried out as a culture of industry – the viewer of the series is produced as a postmodern anthropological model. In this way, the "social implosion" is carried out – since the type of production of the new anthropological model does not become discursive and disciplinary practices (purely social instruments of human production, that is, a direct type of influence of a person on the person, or only through the medium of knowledge), and their own cultural anthropologies of anthropology are formed. models as a (global) cultural industry (the series itself).

Trust is one of the most classic themes across the social and behavioral sciences. It is also a topic is that is strongly intertwined with cooperation and social dilemmas, and there is little doubt that trust is an effective tool to promote cooperation, even if cooperation without trust is possible under certain circumstances. The past decade has also increasingly revealed emerging themes, new theoretical developments, intriguing questions, and a challenging debate revolving around the evolution, as well as strengths and limitations, of trust in social dilemmas and other situations of interdependence. Major societal issues are partially issues of trust: the financial crisis and the refuge crisis are two examples. Why can systems of excessive bonuses emerge and survive? Why is it that we tend to approach individuals with a healthy dose of trust, but we tend to be suspicious of other groups—or even individual members of other groups? Some scientists make the claim that it is ultimately trust—or rather the lack of it—that undermines intergroup relations. One of the next challenges is to examine the workings of trust and how best to organize a system that exploits the opportunities of trust within groups and between groups in contemporary society. We hope this book provides a state of the art of this literature and that the themes discussed in this book will indeed turn out to be prominent ones in future research on trust in social dilemmas—whether they operate at the level of interpersonal or intergroup relations.

Traditional “realistic” theories of social action, whether based on the individual gain heuristics of capitalism or the collective class struggles of communism, cannot explain the massive volunteerism of online socio-technical collaborations like the Wikipedia project. Based on the idea that a social system is an environment within an environment, this paper argues that people in society are subject to both self- and social-interest directives, from natural and social world environments respectively. However, social dilemmas arise when these directives conflict. That people resolve social dilemmas by anchoring one directive then operating the other explains why the "social invention" of free markets was so successful, and further implies that socio-technical communities are a new social form, beyond capitalism and communism, which we call "free-goodness". This model attributes the evolution of humanity to parallel technical and social evolutions. For example, the first civilizations that emerged from hunter-gathering thousands of years ago had to discover not only agricultural technology, but also the "golden rule" by which people cease to pillage each other. Socio-technical systems today continue that tradition, of taking humanity to a higher level, by combining social and technical advances.

Shared toilets are a common good in urban slums, but need to be maintained and cleaned for users to positively benefit from having access to them. Collective participation of the shared toilet users is required to keep them clean and ensure adequate hygiene. However, users' decisions on whether to participate or not in the cleaning of the shared toilets are a social dilemma. If each of the shared toilets' users decided not to participate in their cleaning, the facilities could end up in a deteriorated unhygienic state and become a health risk to them and to the community at large. In this paper, we provide an overview of the social dilemma approach and highlight how the factors important in the management of social dilemmas can be relevant to understanding the cleaning behaviour of shared toilet users in urban slums.
