K(not) more than threads: Tracing the tangled affective lifeworlds of associate professors
At the heart of the neoliberal university, affective energies linked to roles, responsibilities, expectations, policies, and bodies impact the atmosphere of university life. Associate professors report the highest levels of dissatisfaction among all ranks, as they find themselves entangled in affective knots. To understand these knots in associate professor lifeworlds, we solicit their accounts and reveal affective pain points in the neoliberal u…

Affective legacies: Narrating the intergenerational transmission of racial feeling in oral history interviews
This article explores the concept of affective legacies – the intergenerational transmission of affect through storytelling and embodied performance. I examine affective legacies as embedded in oral history interviews of school desegregation in rural North Carolina and what these oral history interviews teach us about how performances of memory shape our understandings of racism and racial integration as an embodied and affective practice. This s…
Interpretive Discernment and Performative Listening
By highlighting a collaborative praxis between performative interviewing and affect theories, this essay theorizes interpretive discernment as an orientational and conceptual foundation that paves the way for performative interviewing. Interpretive discernment—the process of sensing and interpreting affective registers—encompasses both a methodological orientation and an analytical heuristic. We argue that interpretive discernment builds an inter…
Performative interviewing: Affective attunement and reflective affective analysis in interviewing
In this essay, we develop an affective framework that offers performance ethnographers new methodological ways of orienting to and analyzing interviews. Affective attunement is the notion that individuals relationally orient themselves to spaces, encounters, events, histories, futures, and other selves through somatic interplay. Reflective affective analysis involves a form of retrospective sense-making where researchers reflect on the ways in wh…
Navigating with the Stars: Critical Qualitative Methodological Constellations for Critical Intercultural Communication Research
This collaborative essay seeks to chart new methodological pathways for intercultural scholars with a specific focus on Critical Race Theory and Decolonizing and Indigenous Research Methodologies; Activist/Engaged Methodologies; and Performative Methodologies. Each section begins from our own researcher subjectivity, then outlines the constellation within the development of Critical Intercultural Communication (CIC); identifies the constellation'…
Taking Theories of Cultural Dialogue From the Classroom to the Street Corner
This article contributes to the Communication Studies' literature on cultural dialogue, based on challenges we faced when putting theory into practice in community-based research courses and local social justice struggles. Specifically, we attempt to elaborate theories of cultural dialogue on/in the streets-considering how Cultural Studies, Critical Intercultural Communication, Critical Pedagogy, and Performance Studies work synergistically to il…
Excessive Interviews: Listening to Maternal Subjectivity
In this article, the author revisits an interview with Ava Montalvo-a mother of two living in Albuquerque, New Mexico- which initially confounded her interpretive resources. This reflexive, performative article examines the role of excess as an analytical lens through which to understand maternal subjectivity and elaborates the methodological implications of this lens for interviewing methods and qualitative fieldwork. The author employs performa…
Bringing Desegregation Home
This study collects the oral histories of residents of a single county in North Carolina who lived through the consequences of desegregation, examining the complex social and historical constructions
Economy & Pedagogy: Laboring to Learn in Camden County, North Carolina
This paper explores one interview participant's performances of memory as didactic efforts to resist a diverse range of public memories concerning school segregation and desegregation in rural North Carolina. By exploring Mr. Charlie's narratives, this essay provides critical insight into the articulations between capitalism, education, and white privilege, frayed by local resistant memories and community praxis. Mr. Charlie's memories provide th…
Domesticating Difference: Performing Memories of School Desegregation
The early steps of mandated school desegregation, during the freedom of choice period (1965–1969), began with black teachers going into all-white schools and white teachers going into all-black schools. This essay takes up the memory performances of one of the first white teachers in the all-black Marian Anderson High School in rural Camden County, North Carolina. Specifically the essay explores how these performances as they reinvent the past op…
A Passage Toward Homeplace
In this essay, I perform a doubled-story, a double-accented tale of the dialogic process of Mrs. Womble, a lifelong resident of Chatham County and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, telling her memories of homeplace. What follows is a rough account of discovering through conversation, taste, and time-all dialogical components-what homeplacemeans to Mrs. Womble and, through and with her, to myself. I hope to trouble in this telling the production and co…
