Compare Inside Reality TV by Ragan Fox, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In the summer of 2010, Ragan Fox was one of twelve people selected to participate in the twelfth season of CBS's reality programBig Brother. Offering a rare, autobiographical, and behind-the-scenes peek behindBig Brother's theatrical curtain, Fox provides a scholarly account of the show's casting procedures, secret soundstage interactions, and viewer involvement, while investigating how the program's producers, fans, and players theatrically render identities of racial and sexual minorities. Using autoethnography, textual analysis, and spectator commentary as research, Inside Reality TV reflects on and critiques how identity is constructed on reality television, and the various ways in which people from historically oppressed groups are depicted in mass media. | Inside Reality TV by Ragan Fox, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
