Spectacles of control
This forum brings together rich and diverse interdisciplinary scholarship examining how violence against women operates not only as physical harm but also as cultural communication that reinforces power, hierarchy, and control. Spanning historical and contemporary contexts, the forum explores how myths, artistic canons, media narratives, legal systems, wartime practices, and everyday discourses normalize or obscure gendered violence while simulta…
Giving cultures the chance to speak to and with each other
This commentary essay is a response to a scholar’s epistemic intervention, which contends that African communicative acts in technopolitical activism should be theorized using philosophical categor
Toward an African Critical Orientation
This essay proposes an African orientation to critical work. We begin by locating the need for postcolonial indigenous African bases for critical interventions in the idea of epistemic freedom articulated by African decolonial thinkers along with the postcolonial critique of Frankfurt School and Chicago circle critical theory. Next, we develop a basis for critical interventions in Bantu cosmology by drawing on Omedi Ochieng’s groundwork thesis an…
Constructing transcultural identities from global racial-justice events
Often identities are relevant, salient, and critical revelations in responding to racial-justice issues. This study reimagines a transcultural approach to intercultural communication (IC) based on select African and Chinese languages to expand a theoretical understanding of identity formation in a global context. We create a dialogue among autoethnographic narratives of identity formation using three key racial-justice events. This transcultural …

The study of communication in Africa, much like the continent, has been the subject of controversy and consternation, with widely changing fortunes that wax and wane at different times. Africa’s colonial experience and the imposition of Western communication constructs inform the theoretical and methodological approaches to African communication scholarship. This essay examines the accomplishments of African communication scholarship attained out…

A Cross-Cultural Approach to Environmental and Peace Work
Protecting the environment and nurturing peace are global concerns requiring scholarly attention across and within cultures. This essay proposes that cross-cultural exchange serves as an invaluable approach to the goal of communicating about creating a healthy environment and everyday peace. We examine how Wangari Maathai interpreted the meaning and purpose of Mottainai as a global call to save the environment. Mottainai is an ancient Japanese co…
Hair Is Not Just Hot Air
In an article titled “Historic Hair” in The Economist, Muthoni wa Kirima, an 83-year-old Mau Mau freedom fighter, typifies her long, dreadlocked hair as “the history of Kenya.” I use Muthoni's symb
