(Re)Imagining Ethnicity in the City of New Orleans: Katrina’s Geographical Allegory
When Hurricane Katrina swept across the Gulf Coast in August 2005, the diaspora that it produced hollowed the city of New Orleans. In a recent issue of the New York Times, satellite photos revealed that the devastation is no longer evidenced by post-apocalyptic debris, but by the rows of now empty communities that have left much of the urban landscape bereft of vibrant human activity. As these ancient neighborhoods dig themselves out of the mud a…
Wounds Not Easily Healed: Exploring Trauma in Communication Studies
The study of trauma, a pervasive subtext throughout the field of communication, runs like an invisible thread that links the research of scholars who study a diverse range of discursive activities. It connects the work of researchers interested in the analysis of interpersonal, family, and organizational communication to critical theorists and historians who explore the symbolic dynamics that bind cultures in times of stress and political contest…
Ally McBeal as Allegory: Setting the Eating-Disordered Subject in Opposition to Feminism
This essay examines the use of moral allegories to represent eating-disordered individuals in the popular television program Ally McBeal and the subsequent controversy surrounding its star, Calista Flockhart. As both fictional character and actor were coded within the vocabulary of eating disorders and feminism, a discourse of disease, detection, authenticity, and correction emerged that portrayed the eating-disordered individual as a moral conta…

Eyewitness accounts of the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki represent a central component of atomic culture. The accounts of the hibakusha, Japanese survivors of the bombing, provide a context in which those who lived the experience of nuclear war repeatedly recount this trauma in literary performances that provide rhetorical vocabularies for managing the presence of nuclear weapons. The essay argues that hibakusha literature has undergone …
The statistical war on equality: Visions of American virtuosity in The Bell Curve
This essay uses Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray's The Bell Curve to examine the sedimented history of probability in America. By creating a moral cartography for the nation, the model reinforces ethnic hierarchy and difference. Three socio‐graphic dynamics define this spatial rhetoric. The first creates an idealized middle to valorize sameness and normalcy, creating a universal standard of judgement. The second uses variable formation and s…
