Abstract

"The premise of this book is that research into gossip, organization, and work is an important idea whose time has come. A key feature of the book is the inclusion of 'practice points' showing how - and where - theory and/or research intersect with practice, and vice versa. They are intended as signposts to future thinking and theorizing, tempting readers to venture outside of their 'home' disciplines and territories, conceptual comfort zones, and methodological mindsets. The overall aim of the book is to: (i) provide enough information for readers to decide where they might want to go next; (ii) offer some theoretical directions and ethical principles: and (iii) make suggestions regarding what academic-practitioner tools and techniques will help them along the way, including arts-based and mixed-methods research that focus on real word lived experience(s) of gossip. It will be relevant to researchers at all stages of their career: from students at the start of their academic journey, to 'seasoned' scholars with more extensive experience. The book is also intended to be readable and relevant to practitioners with academic interests, who seek to reflect critically upon, and develop, their practice in times of turbulence, change, and the COVID-19 era"--

What is it about the so-called reality of reality entertainments that appeals to and gratifies viewers? The book's ultimate answer to these questions, supported with many kinds of evidence, is that, in taking liberties with facts, Amish Mafia and other forms of entertaining fakery, including fake news, work very much like gossip"--
