ABSTRACT Performing failure presents radical opportunities for reimagining the world. Drawing from critical autoethnographic accounts, I utilize performance as a method to examine individual and structural failures in the online classroom from my perspective as a contingent faculty member. I contend that online education structurally compels teachers into “help desk” positions. Drawing from staged conspicuous aesthetic performance, I examine how these positions perpetuate systemic inequity and foreclose opportunities to engage in critical communication pedagogy. Not only is performance a meaningful way to explore and analyze pedagogical failure, but it is significant for critical communication pedagogy as a way of extending reflexive practices and devising alternative educational possibilities.

在服务台失败：执行在线教师

摘要 执行失败为重新构想世界提供了根本的机会。从批判性的自我民族志描述中，我利用表演作为一种方法，从我作为特遣队教员的角度来检查在线课堂中的个人和结构性失败。我认为在线教育在结构上迫使教师进入“帮助台”职位。我从舞台上引人注目的美学表演中汲取灵感，研究这些立场如何使系统性不平等长期存在，并排除参与批判性传播教学法的机会。表演不仅是探索和分析教学失败的一种有意义的方式，而且作为一种扩展反思性​​实践和设计替代教育可能性的方式，对于批判性传播教学法也很重要。
