Summary of AMR Origins Series - Episode-25 – Ruebottom, Buchanan, Voronov and Toubiana

00:00:00 - 00:55:00

In this episode of the AMR Origins Series, the authors discuss how they came up with the idea for their paper on voyeurism, and how they went about developing the theory. They discuss how social media has changed the way reality TV is viewed, and how this has opened up new opportunities for theorizing about reality TV. They offer advice on how to overcome the challenges of writing a theory paper based on a novel phenomena, and discuss how the paper was structured as a platform for future research.

• 00:00:00 The four authors of this paper discuss how commercializing the practice of voyeurism can create value for organizations. They say that "voyeurism is a look at something that is supposed to be private," and that the idea for the paper came from an email about a blog post about slum tourism. They say that they were working on a project related to the sex industry, and that the word "voyeurism" jumped out at them. They say that they sat on the paper for a long time before deciding to pursue it further, and that it wasn't directly related to their empirical research.
• 00:05:00 The author of the video discusses how he came up with the idea for a paper on "AMR," or "amplified reality." He discusses how he connected theoretical ideas with the phenomenon of amplified reality, and how it was easy to see that there was something unique about the phenomenon. He then interviews a colleague, Trish, who also has a background in qualitative research, about how she approaches conferences and comes home with new ideas for papers.
• 00:10:00 The author discusses the process of cycling between the phenomenon of voyeurism and various examples that were used to develop a theory around it.
• 00:15:00 The YouTube video discusses the origins of a new theory, which combines concepts of transgression and authenticity. The theory was developed by three researchers, and was a complex process that required cooperation and communication between the researchers.
• 00:20:00 This YouTube video discusses the origins of a conceptual paper, which started with four people in Canada and eventually ended up in Boston. The paper went through a lot of revisions and reviews, and it was 2018 before it was finally accepted.
• 00:25:00 The video discusses the review process for a conceptual paper, which was smooth due to the team's alignment with reviewers. They struggled with the ontological position and emotional optimization, and arrived at these concepts through revisions and discussions with reviewers.
• 00:30:00 The author discusses how emotional optimization can be used to create value for audiences, and how the theory of emotional optimization can be applied to other fields such as social evaluations and reputation. He also touches on how the paper was structured as a platform for future research.
• 00:35:00 The authors discuss how their research into desirable and undesirable emotions revolves around the idea that emotions can have either positive or negative effects depending on the context. They also discuss how they think that social change will affect these emotions over time, and how they are excited to continue thinking about new ideas in this area.
• 00:40:00 The video discusses how social media has changed the way reality TV is viewed, with the focus on how MMA has evolved. The authors discuss how social media has increased the prevalence of voyeurism, and how this has opened up new opportunities for theorizing about reality TV.
• 00:45:00 The video discusses the difficulties of writing a theory paper based on a novel phenomena, and offers advice on how to overcome these challenges. The video features a team of authors who wrote a paper on the phenomenon of "Raptor theory." The team was able to overcome the challenges of writing a theory paper based on a novel phenomena by critically examining and referencing examples of the phenomenon, and developing a theoretical framework based on these examples.
• 00:50:00 The video discusses the origins of the AMR Theory, which started with a test using examples. The theory grew and was refined over the process, and was tested by applying it to different examples. Chris Dolezal, an associate editor at AMR, recommends that future authors focus on developing new theoretical insights rather than simply explaining what happens with the phenomenon. Additionally, he warns against becoming too abstract, which can happen when the author does not have personal experience with the phenomena being discussed.
• 00:55:00 In this episode of the AMR Origins Series, four of the five authors discuss the origins of their work in AMR. All five authors express gratitude to the community for their contributions and help, and promise to continue writing interesting papers and contributing to the community.
