This book explains how gossip contributes to knowledge. 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.
