Disability as metaphor or resilience: A Palestinian poetic inquiry Journal of International and Intercultural Communication Pub Date : 2022-09-06 Shahd Alshammari
ABSTRACT People’s attitudes toward illness and disability are a product of how they are informed culturally. Most studies on disability offer quantitative views and apply Western disability models.

Visual slippage: Gouging the colonial eye con Los Punks Journal of International and Intercultural Communication Pub Date : 2022-06-25 Oscar Alfonso Mejía
ABSTRACT I analyze Los Punks: We Are All We Have (2016) for three themes that characterize the (im)migrant family, the savage Latinx adolescent, and the colonial hero constructed in represented urban environments.

Indian or south Indian? The casteist roots of northern hegemony Journal of International and Intercultural Communication Pub Date : 2021-10-20 Santhosh Chandrashekar
ABSTRACT This paper argues that brahmanical conceptions of India centered on Aryavarta and structured by casteist logics undergirds the hegemony of north India by provincializing the south and its lowered-caste inhabitants. I term this phenomenon northernism, which renders the idea of India as synonymous with a brahminized rendering of north India. Drawing from Jyoti Nisha’s elaboration of Bahujan

ABSTRACT Controversy followed news of an altercation in a Seoul bar between a group of women and men; this was later dubbed the “Isu Station incident.” Cellphone video complicated the women’s account, providing discursive space to air men’s grievances and to discipline recent feminist challenges.

U.S. homonationalist battle portraiture and queer armed archival artifacts Journal of International and Intercultural Communication Pub Date : 2021-09-06 Evan Mitchell Schares
ABSTRACT This article engages the photographic collection archived in Evan Bachner’s At Ease: Navy Men of World War II. I argue that this archive embodies myriad homonationalist intimacies through the reinforcement of historical images of White U.S. American queer-coded masculinity. I place its representations against a backdrop of global pornographic militarism, U.S. imperialism, and intimate Black

Know your history: Toward an eternally displaceable strategic essentialism Journal of International and Intercultural Communication Pub Date : 2021-07-31 O. M. Olaniyan
ABSTRACT Queer Africans in diaspora often reclaim histories obscured by colonialism. Implicit in gay Nigerian activist Bisi Alimi’s influential archival work is an anti-colonial, but strategically essentialist, claim of a historical place for queer African peoples. I submit “historical place” and “(dis)placing” to understand queer disidentifications with historical construction. The risks of strategic

What do we mean when we say “Latinx?”: Definitional power, the limits of inclusivity, and the (un/re)constitution of an identity category Journal of International and Intercultural Communication Pub Date : 2021-04-05 E. Cassandra Dame-Griff
ABSTRACT This article examines the trajectory of “Latinx” as a discursive marker of inclusivity and diversity within spaces that value recognition as inclusive, sensitive to diversity, and engaged with social justice. I argue that while the term’s wide adoption during the last five years reflects a laudable shift toward gender-inclusive language, it also demonstrates a narrow vision of inclusivity

ABSTRACT Western feminist writers often associate voice with empowerment and treat silence as a manifestation of a woman’s powerlessness. Although the significance of voice cannot be minimized, the association of silence with victimization is flawed. This essay analyzes the silent appearance of Ghazala Khan, a Pakistani Muslim woman, at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Using post-colonial methodology
