Mapping Queer Relationalities
Focusing on queer relationality, broadly conceptualized as minoritarian subjects' modes of relating, engaging, and connecting with others in a symbolic and material landscape of erasure and cultural unintelligibility, this special issue highlights their communication practices and relational experiences. In so doing, it attempts to mitigate epistemic injustice, a wrong perpetrated against minoritarian subjects in their capacity as knower and legi…
You Know It's Different in the Game Man
This article explores the reach of queer relationality beyond materiality and toward virtual realities. By expounding upon how desire, relationality, and race can be understood within technocultures, particularly within immersive interactive and virtual reality gaming, I situate the potentiality of queer worldmaking outside of the confines of social pressures and expectations in the material world. Through an analysis of Black Mirror's episode, "…
Unpacking African epistemological violence
This article theorizes African perspectives by unpacking some of the neocolonial dynamics that characterize much of communication studies and its knowledge production in, of, with, and for Africa. I propose a decolonizing framework, critical Africanness, to read and locate African thought, which requires a political ethic and practice of resistance and intentional undoing by unlearning and dismantling unjust practices, assumptions, and institutio…

Wakanda for everyone
Black Panther’s (2018) Afrofuturistic cultural footprint—left by the utopic, fictional African country of Wakanda and its new King, T’Challa/Black Panther—was significant not just for the superhero film genre, but also for the representation of Africa, Black femininity, Black identity, and a mighty and self-sustaining society unimpacted by war or colonization. While the film was praised for its character development, story, and celebration of Bla…
Morocco from a Colonial to a Postcolonial Era
Women of color have long used the transformative power of writing and theorizing through their bodies to speak back to the pervasive racist and sexist hierarchies in hegemonic cultures. I extend this argument in the specific context of Muslim feminism that is theorized outside orientalist and patriarchal frames of reference. In this article, I turn to a performative autoethnographic approach to look at the Moroccan era, ‘Now and Then,’ through my…
