“There I was, being virtually groped”
Beyond the Goddess and Demoness
Lamu, a 30-year-old Tibetan woman, tragically died when her ex-husband set her on fire during a livestream on Douyin in Sichuan province in 2021. Following her death, the #LamuAct sparked an anti-domestic violence (DV) movement on major Chinese platforms. Informed by a decolonial feminist perspective, we conceptualize the 'Good Woman of Tibet' focusing on two cultural imaginaries, lhamo (the Goddess) and srinamo (the Demoness), to explore the lan…
The Lung Disease as an Evanescent Rainbow”
The role of language is one of the most critical elements in communicating COVID-19 public health mandates globally. This study aims to explore how Tibetans in the multilingual Kham region came to understand COVID-19 and develop health choices. To accomplish this goal, we used a culture-centered approach to examine how the words/phrases of COVID-19 influence Kham Tibetans’ agency [the ability to develop actions (or lack thereof)] to work on the i…
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 …
Visibilis 433
This article introduces Visibilis 433, an audiovisual installation piece inspired by and conceived as an homage to John Cage’s legendary 4′33′′. The piece utilizes practically inaudible components of the ambient sound in the gallery to present an audible artificial soundscape and an accompanying virtual landscape in real time, aiming to reinterpret Cage’s original intentions from a new perspective through signal processing and multimedia programm…
Taming the Barbarian Empress
Representations of ethnic minority women often symbolized China’s efforts in nation-building. This study uses insights from the post-alteric frame to analyze the images of the Khitan empress Xiao Yanyan in the 2020 TV series the Legend of Xiao Chuo (LXC). It uses a critical multimodal discourse analysis of the series and viewer comments to examine three images of Xiao as her relationships with two romantic partners unfolds: the unruly and innocen…
Organising dissonance on the Tibetan plateau
The authors adopt a Tibetan cultural perspective (Buddhist core philosophy ‘nonduality’) on the concept of organised dissonance and the four flows model of community organising. Working within the political and technological discourse of Tibet, we map out multiple dimensions of organised dissonance to explore how digital communication technology sustains the niamles. Our analysis highlights how niamle members live a nondual unity of the tension-f…
Home-in-language
This study examines Tibetan migrants’ well-being by exploring their understanding of home and how they remake its meaning in the middle of a migration into intensive urbanization in China. We look at outmigration as a language-learning and -imposing process. Grounding Heidegger’s notion of home-in-language in Tibet and its people, this study found: (a) Tibetan language speaks of a geo-cultural home; (b) a shared language and language alienation b…
Proliferation of Hallyu Wave and Korean Popular Culture Across the World
The exponential growth in the popularity of Korean pop cultural products across the globe known as the Hallyu wave has grabbed the attention of people worldwide. At times when the geographic boundaries have become blurred due to the virtual connectivity and advancement in internet technology, South Korean popular culture is developing at an unprecedented rate across the globe. The popularity is such that it has entered the mainstream even competi…

How Dialogical Are We Really? Insights Gleaned from Un-Dialogical Moments
This essay emphasizes the writing of dialogical research as a crucial step in the dialogical research process. Dialogical research accounts should not suppress the ongoing struggles that accompany a genuine desire to engage dialogically in research contexts. Thus, we advocate and model evocative retellings of these struggles. Questioning our own fieldwork based on the work of Martin Buber and Mikhail Bakhtin, we highlight principles of dialogue t…
“My Family Isn't Racist—However…”
We analyzed via critical discourse analysis undergraduate essays from multiple sections of an introductory intercultural communication course to interrogate underlying ideology/ies that influence intercultural communication education. “Multicultural/Multiracial Obama-ism (MMO)” is coined to expose the reconfiguration of multiracial/multicultural Americans as new signifiers of a “post-racial” utopia under the Obama presidency. The dominant ideolog…
