Spectacles of control: Gendered violence across cultures
This forum brings together rich and diverse interdisciplinary scholarship examining how violence against women operates not only as physical harm but also as cultural communication that reinforces power, hierarchy, and control. Spanning historical and contemporary contexts, the forum explores how myths, artistic canons, media narratives, legal systems, wartime practices, and everyday discourses normalize or obscure gendered violence while simulta…
The Atheist Dilemma: Let’s Keep Thinking
In this response to Spencer’s essay, I highlight how our two essays have distinct aims and purposes. Our contrasting interpretations and arguments reflect how differing goals, imprecise definitions of the literature on atheists/atheism, and conflicting prioritizations of context can lead to opposing perspectives over the current state of scholarly attention to atheists in the field. Additionally, I argue that Spencer’s literature review functions…

From this w…

This essay examines how The Satanic Temple (TST) utilizes both direct and indirect blasphemy as a form of uncivil obedience in order to disrupt Christonormativity and, by proxy, Christian privilege and Christian nationalism. Such blasphemy emerges in TST'…
Theistnormativity and the Negation of American Atheists in Presidential Inaugural Addresses
This paper aims to address the need in rhetorical scholarship to recognize the obstacles that atheists face in the public sphere. I propose that, within the United States, there is a systematic normalization of theism, which I refer to as theistnormativity. While theistnormativity is advanced through various systems within a society, I argue that presidents reinforce theistnormativity through their use of religious political rhetoric. I reason th…
