The following article looks at the concept of distortion in technologies of mediation. Distortion is considered a by-product of all media, but its assignation of value reflects cultural assumptions as opposed to objective standards. The two primary conditions looked in this article are anamorphosis and photogrammetry, which are discussed in both historical terms and within contemporary practices. The author includes a few examples of his own work with photogrammetry. In conclusion, the article argues that the qualities of distortion are part of how artists begin to misuse technologies towards aesthetic effects not intended by the original purposes of the media and that this can include any technology of mediation, including the developments of artificial perspective in the Renaissance.

This Policy Contribution assesses whether European competition law could be applied more directly to state-owned enterprises that create an unlevel playing field in Europe because of the support they receive from their home governments. This issue has become a priority for many European Union countries and for the European Commission, given its impact on European economic autonomy. Competition law may not be the appropriate tool for addressing the granting of illegal subsidies or other forms of support in third countries, but it could be more effective than previously thought in dealing with the distortive effect of stateowned entities on the EU internal market. If State-Owned Enterprises are not resource-constrained or even profit maximising, they might be unconstrained by competitive pressures, therefore possessing a de-facto level of market power. By adapting existing antitrust theories of harm, such as predatory pricing, to fit the specific nature of SOEs, this Policy Contribution argues that it should be possible to add further tools to the EU's toolbox. In any event, as part of its efforts to address the distortive effects on the internal market of foreign state ownership and subsidies, the European Commission should develop a coherent and proactive competition policy to provide guidance to the market.

THIS STUDY INVESTIGATES THE QUALITY OF RECALL DATA. IT ISOLATES VARIABLES (I.E., PARTISANSHIP, INTEREST, AND DRIFT TOWARD THE WINNER) WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISTORTION OF VOTER RECALL DATA. THE ANALYSIS OF DATA SUGGESTS THAT RECALL DATA SHOULD NOT BE INCORPORATED INTO MODELS OF VOTING BEHAVIOR.

AbstractWhen forming beliefs about themselves, politics, and how the world works more generally, people often face a tension between conclusions they inherently wish to reach and those which are plausible. And the likelihood of beliefs about one variable (e.g., the performance of a favored politician) depends on beliefs about other, related variables (e.g., the quality and bias of newspapers reporting on the politician). I propose a formal approach to combine these two forces, creating a tractable way to study the distortion of related beliefs. The approach unifies several central ideas from psychology (e.g., motivated reasoning, attribution) that have been applied heavily to political science. Concrete applications shed light on why successful individuals sometimes attribute their performance to luck ("imposter syndrome"), why those from advantaged groups believe they in fact face high levels of discrimination (the "persecution complex"), and why partisans disagree about the accuracy and bias of news sources.
