I argue against an outright dismissal of so-called reality shows as unreal television set-ups by interrogating how so-colled realness is performed within the context of Big Brother 2, a reality-based game show. Research is conducted on the production set in Randburg, Johannesburg, over a period of seven weeks. A variety of research methods participant observation, semi-structured interviews, informal conversations-and informants-are employed. 2014-08-02T06:52:54Z 2014-08-02T06:52:54Z 2003 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5945 eng application/pdf Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
