A feminist critique of cybersecurity
In this collection of five short essays, each authors examine how online spaces produce and reproduce queer marginalisation while also offering opportunities for queer expression, connection, and resistance. Tanvi Kanchan examines Indian queer activists’ connections with Indigenous and Black politics in the U.S. and anti-gender rhetoric that travels between American conservative contexts and Indian Hindutva contexts to highlight how digitally med…
Gen Z, Explained
Social Media, Technology, and New Generations
This book builds on existing conversations surrounding millennials and media use by examining Generation Z’s engagement with new media technologies and comparing it to that of millennials. Ahmet Atay and Mary Z. Ashlock have assembled this edited volume in which contributors focus on three interrelated areas: how millennials and Gen Z use new media technologies and platforms in different contexts; how they use media and what they do with it; and …
Histories and new directions
This is an introduction to the Special Issue, inspired by the Histories and New Directions: Soap Opera and Serial Narrative Research conference at the University of York in July 2017. The event was conceptualized and organized by the editors of this Special Issue to gather media and cultural studies scholars, and generate a scholarly dialogue on the historical issues, current status and future directions of serial narratives and soap opera as a g…
Serial narratives in the new millennium
Despite its cultural significance, soap opera as a television genre has been in decline in the United States since the early 2000s. While the nature of its audience has been changing, the media landscape also has been drastically shifting because of the wide expansion of new media technologies. In this article, I survey these reasons and examine the current state of the genre. To do so, I first briefly examine the history of the genre before I re…
Reconciling romanticization and vilification
Introduction
In this special issue, authors trace their relationship with home in academia from transnational perspectives and explore the inherent challenges and possibilities of their locations within spaces where they are Othered, exocitized, minoritized, while carving out space for empowerment, survival, and doing their work
Introduction
Reflections, revisions, and resistance
I write these words during socially and culturally troubling times. These words are marked with fear, and they embody and reflect anxieties. As the educators who conceptualized this forum in 2020
Digital transnational queer isolations and connections
In this essay, my goal is to push the discourse of critical queer intercultural communication research further and expand its circumference by focusing on transnational and diasporic digitalized queer experiences. Hence, I argue that new media technologies, social media platforms, and quick media applications play a significant role in the lives of transnational, diasporic and immigrant queer individuals by providing new opportunities to imagine …
Transnational and decolonizing queer digital/quick media and cyberculture studies
In this essay, I argue that while queer studies within communication and cultural studies must take a transnational and decolonizing turn to move away from solely white and US-centric ways of conceptualizing queer lives and experiences, it should also further theorize the role of mediation, new media technologies, and quick media applications in queer worldmaking
Charting the future of queer studies in communication and critical/cultural studies
In this essay, I argue that while queer studies within communication and cultural studies must take a transnational and decolonizing turn to move away from solely white and US-centric ways of conceptualizing queer lives and experiences, it should also further theorize the role of mediation, new media technologies, and quick media applications in queer worldmaking
Digital Eco System
In this essay, I try to embody the fragmented nature of our digital culture and lives. Through autoethnographic writing and personal vignettes, I narrate and theorize five interrelated themes: interactivity, the co-construction of digital stories, blurring the idea of time and space, the concept of transnational cyber bodies, and finally, the notion of a transnational and queer cyber home. Hence, my goal is to present personal stories that embody…
What is Cyber or Digital Autoethnography
Because of rapid developments in new media technologies and digital platforms, we live in a media-driven and highly digitalized society. Most of our everyday experiences are either highly mediated or digitalized. Hence, we live in a complex and multidimensional cyberculture. In order to understand and make sense of our experiences and identities within this culture, as scholars, we require fresh, new methods; hence, I propose cyber or digital aut…
Merit, Diversity, and Resilience
In this narrative-based response essay, my goal is to contribute to discussions of merit and diversity while highlighting the international/queer scholar perspective. I present my experiences in US higher education and communication studies. In particular, I narrate lived experiences that were shaped or impacted by whiteness and US-centric ideals about merit and scholarship. Hence, I present a critique of the discipline from an international scho…
Journey of Errors
In this autoethnographic exploration, I question the notion of academic home. I argue that as postcolonial academic bodies who are educated in the Western societies, our voices are often questioned or silenced, and our bodies and writing are often surveilled. Hence, the idea of home and belonging is often questioned. I offer decolonizing autoethnography as both a method and academic space to speak from and decolonize the ways in which our diaspor…
Introduction
Can there be a decolonial autoethnography? If so, what could such an autoethnography look, sound, and feel like? If the possibility of decolonizing this mode of knowing does not exist, then what are the impediments-discursive, material, political, social-that disallow a move to decolonized autoethnographic work? Where would decolonization take us? What does it mean to write the self in and out of colonial historical frameworks? In this special is…
