I am Neuro, who are you?”
Authenticity is simultaneously part of the appeal and anxiety surrounding GenAI (generative artificial intelligence) technologies, which are often evaluated in terms of whether their speech and interactions can “pass” as authentically human. This study explores collective negotiations of authenticity in AI–human interaction by looking at AI virtual livestreams, focusing particularly on the performer Neuro-sama. Drawing on non-participant observat…
Performance, Spectacle, Affect
Although the technical and psychological accuracy of the polygraph has been contested almost since the device's inception, it continues to enjoy substantial popularity within law enforcement and federal agencies throughout North America. This paper excavates the sexual politics of the polygraph focused on two key arenas where the polygraph has been a popular and powerful tool: identifying LGBTQ applicants and employees within federal agencies and…
More than handmaids
In the United States, the nursing profession has been dominated by women, who constitute nearly 90% of the workforce. The profession's popularity among women has consequences for gendered assumptions about labor: unions represent a key path for demanding equitable working conditions, yet the gendered framing of nursing has undermined efforts at building a labor movement within the profession. We offer two contributions with this paper: documentin…
Dazzle camouflage as queer counter conduct
Developed as an anti-surveillance strategy during World War I, dazzle camouflage used sharply contrasting colors to disguise ships in the British navy from enemy observation. Unlike traditional camouflage that was meant to keep one’s forces or weaponry hidden, dazzle camouflage used hypervisibility to deflect attention, making it impossible to detect a ship’s movements. In this article, I develop the concept of dazzle camouflage as a form of quee…
Margins as Methods, Margins as Ethics
Prevailing theories of marginalized media position the work of resistance as beneath or less than the institutions against which resistance works, raising a number of methodological and ethical challenges for research on online alterity. We offer a margins-as-methods approach for studies of social media on the margins, directing critical attention to the theoretical, ethical, and political implications of positioning subsets of social media users…
A Conversation with Nancy Baym, Author of Playing to the Crowd
How has digital technology changed the relationship between musicians and their fans? What can the experiences of performers teach the rest of us about technology, self-promotion, and community? This bookcast describes key themes from Playing to the Crowd, discusses the methods behind the book, and addresses theoretical frameworks
Digital Countercultures and the Struggle for Community
Whether by accidental keystroke or deliberate tinkering, technology is often used in ways that are unintended and unimagined by its designers and inventors. In this book, Jessa Lingel offers an account of digital technology use that looks beyond Silicon Valley and college dropouts-turned-entrepreneurs. Instead, Lingel tells stories from the margins of countercultural communities that have made the Internet meet their needs, subverting established…
