Gossip as a Site of Resistance (aka how survivors use gossip as a strategy to share info, seek support, & protect one another)
Gossip as a Site of Resistance is a zine about how survivors use gossip as a strategy to share info, seek support, and protect one another, based on Hagelin’s MLIS thesis. They argue that when survivors are isolated, shunned, and excluded from not only our communities but also from traditional information institutions (i.e. mainstream media, the education system, and political sphere), gossip becomes one of the only tools remaining to us. Gossip becomes a lifeline. This zine explores what gossip is; the productive social and political values of gossip; why gossip is condemned and trivialized; what contemporary feminist literature says about gossip; how survivors utilize gossip as a tool for resistance, information-sharing, building community, and protection through the mediums of social media and zines; and directions for future research.
56 pages & printed in black & white with a pastel cardstock cover & 8.5x5.5 inches.
