A colleague asks if you think the FBI was in on 9/11. An alien abductee on the Internet claims extra-terrestrials have planted a microchip in her left buttock.

Knowledge Goes Pop examines the popular knowledges that saturate our everyday experience. We make this information and then it shapes the way we see the world. How valid is it when compared to official knowledge and why does such (mis)information cause so much institutional anxiety? Knowledge Goes Pop examines the range of knowledge, from conspiracy theory to plain gossip, and its role and impact in our culture. 410 0$aCulture Machine 517 $aKnowledge Goes Pop 606 $aKnowledge, Sociology of$xHistory 615 0$aKnowledge, Sociology of$xHistory. 676 $a001.09 676 $a306.42 700 $aBirchall$b Clare$0800698 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910145413403321 996 $aKnowledge Goes Pop$91801978 997 $aUNINA
