Introducing the anti-method paradigm [or, when reviewer #2 says your interdisciplinary work is vague, messy, and unrecognizable]
Interdisciplinary work no longer sits on the fringes of the communication studies discipline. In this manuscript, we invite a consideration of the anti-method paradigm as a framework for disturbing the paradigms of knowledge production that dominate research methods within our discipline. While these paradigms might push interdisciplinary work to the boundaries, the anti- method paradigm invites research that is vague, messy, and unrecognizable w…
Anti-Method Vibes & Feminist Futures
Faking It, Finishing, and Ambivalence
This essay analyzes the transcription of critical focus group conversation among women to understand failure within their sexual lives. Against the backdrop of normative sexual scripts, women discuss faked orgasms and lackluster sex.

We conclude that the focus on women’s lived experiences highlights the reparative possibiliti…

Combining archival field methods and autoethnographic reflection, I ask h…
Cosmo complaints
Cosmopolitan magazine has occupied a central position in feminist cultural criticism since Helen Gurley Brown acquired the US edition of the magazine in 1965. Consequently, the magazine endures much criticism for its normative and constantly recycled sex content. By now, many of Cosmo’s problems are familiar. This article practices a reparative mode of reading to ask how the discourses of pleasure in the magazine produce, simultaneously, a sexual…
Affective Agency and Transformative Shame
The Great Wall of Vagina, a polyptych consisting of four hundred labial plaster casts, publicly displays women's “privates” through a nine-meter artistic rendering of women's genital difference. On the occasion of the artwork's circulation, this article attends to the narratives crafted by the women who animate the Wall. Centering the women who make the project possible illustrates how affective intensities compel emotive discourses to circulate …
