“Your Videos are Like Medicine”
ASMR, which refers to the pleasant tingling sensation felt on the scalp and/or spine, triggered by a combination of auditory, visual, and tactile stimuli, has flourished on YouTube. ASMR content, however, does not exist in isolation on the video-sharing platform, reflecting both a supportive (albeit imagined) community of producers and consumers and a discourse that fosters perceptions of trusting relationships, belonging, and intimacy. In this s…
A corpus-based discourse analysis of reparations inertia
The movement for reparations for those enslaved on the North American continent from 1450 to 1866 has a long history fraught with debate, criticized by individuals on both the right and left sides of the political spectrum. Specific points of contention include how much money should be allocated, who the recipients and potential liable parties should be, and what specific form reparations should take. Accounting for this historical opposition, th…
Inverting the Bogeyman
The United States has witnessed a public display of outrage toward critical race theory (CRT). This opposition has been buoyed by White evangelical Christian polemics. I conducted a discourse-historical analysis of 21 statements, reflecting a diversity of voices within evangelical discourse (ED). First, ED constructs CRT as both bereft of theoretical validity and evil. Second, the discourse inverts the objectives of CRT by claiming those goals fo…
Media Framing of Integration in Belgian Newspapers
I deconstruct the distinctive facets of mediated framing of integration through a textual analysis of Flemish newspapers. Using Entman’s framing theory, I identified four primary integration frames: Fortress Europe, Streamlined Labour, Solipsistic Representation, and Competing Integration Frames. Specifically, I describe the ambivalence of media framing, which intertextually borrows from dominant representation of (im)migrants. The papers simulta…
Intersections of hospitality and race in integration discourse
This paper adopts a hospitality framework to analyze discourses of integration in the city of Antwerp. Anti-immigration and cultural racism have found a shared home in populist and nationalist movements in Europe, like the Flemish city that has become one significant site of tension between ideologically opposed groups on the subject of immigration. As such, hospitality coacts with discourses of race to mandate the adoption of dominant cultural n…
The influence of immigration terminology on attribution and empathy
We report the findings of an experimental study that tested the contributions of semiotic and critical discourse studies on immigration. Two-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were conducted to examine the effects of immigration terminology (illegal immigrant, spouse of green card holder, and parent of U.S. citizen child) on measures of attribution and empathy. Our experiment revealed a statistically significant difference in attribution. Particip…
Discourses of Contraction in the Spatialization of Whiteness
Agricultural communities increasingly have become sites of struggle over identity, belonging and citizenship. While historically the relationship between race and space has been one of segregation and displacement, investigations of these sites of (im)migration reveal new discursive relationships and particular manifestations of whiteness. Adopting a spatial framework, this ethnographic study seeks to de-essentialize whiteneness through an explor…
Pioneer whiteness meets “multicultural” whiteness in farm communities in Washington state
Emphasizing symbolic/material intersections, I employ a spatial approach to contextualize whiteness in migrant farm communities in Washington state. Specifically, I argue that white identity is not detached from physical settings, but evolves in relationship to others in these concrete, but symbolically constructed, locations. Utilizing observations, interviews, and ethnographic mapping, I discuss how participants’ spatial narratives elucidate pi…
Discourses of Affirmation in the Spatialization of Whiteness
I employ a spatial framework to contextualize and fragment essentialist depictions of whiteness and de-racialized descriptions of space. Extending the contributions of Henri Lefebvre, I argue that discourses of whiteness intersect with spatial control, exacerbating continued racial division in concrete, material locations. The major contribution of this ethnographic project is the articulation of intersections between whiteness, space, and commun…
