Karen Adkins marshals scholarship and case studies spanning centuries and disciplines to show that although gossip is a constant activity in human history, it has rarely been studied as a source of knowledge. People gossip for many reasons, but most often out of desire to make sense of the world while lacking access to better options for obtaining knowledge. This volume explores how, when our access to knowledge is blocked, gossip becomes a viable path to knowledge attainment, one that involves the asking of questions, the exchange of ideas, and the challenging of preconceived notions. 000806821 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000806821 650_0 $$aGossip. 000806821 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319478397$$z9783319478395$$w(OCoLC)959033600 000806821 852__ $$bebk 000806821 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-47840-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000806821 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:806821$$pGLOBAL_SET 000806821 980__ $$aEBOOK 000806821 980__ $$aBIB 000806821 982__ $$aEbook 000806821 983__ $$aOnline 000806821 994__ $$a92$$bISE
