Planetary Longings
Mary Louise Pratt’s Imperial Eyes: Travel Writing and Transculturation was among the handful of paperbacks I bought in 1992, having decided to become a scholar of postcolonial studies. (The others were Edward W. Said’s Orientalism [1978], Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s In Other Worlds [1988], and Henry Louis Gates’ “Race,” Writing, and Difference [1986].) Pratt’s seminal account of the contact zone as a site of geographic and cultural imagining pro…
Contextualizing HPV vaccination intention among Haitian immigrant and migrant women through exploring cultural worldviews and affective risk perception
Culture, affective risk perception, and past experiences may be relevant toward Haitian women's decision making to engage in HPV vaccination practices. Our results underscore the importance of using alternative methods in understanding HPV vaccination intention and scaling up HPV vaccination efforts for Haitian women both in the U.S. and in Haiti

How do North Korean refugees in South Korea utilize social support to cope with acculturative stress
Geographic resettlement induces acculturative stress in refugees. In response, they utilize social support to deal with acculturative stress and to adapt to the host community. In this study we sought to understand how North Korean refugees (NKRs) utilize social support to reduce acculturative stress. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 NKRs in South Korea and 20 SKs who were friends or acquaintances of NKRs. Purposive and snowballing…
Forms of Life
This essay discusses “Forms of Life” in two senses: first, infrastructure as a social process that fosters particular forms of collective life and second, the agency/vitality imputed to infrastructure. The essay considers an unremarked ambivalence in energy humanities about infrastructure: the extant infrastructure of fossil fuels poses an obstacle to energy transition, while the act of making infrastructure visible and “following the pipeline” i…

Electronic Wearable Device Use for Physical Activity in Older Adults
Innovative solutions to help older adults increase physical activity are critically important. In this qualitative study, we explored older adults' acceptance, capability, and experiences of using three different types of electronic wearable devices over a period of 4-24 weeks for self-monitoring and promoting physical activity. We conducted 23 semistructured interviews with older adults who participated in three physical activity intervention st…
Along the Fold
Along the Fold Jennifer Wenzel (bio) One of the indelible images of Manhattan in late March 2020 was the archive of horror accreting daily on my neighbor’s doormat. Above the fold, the New York Times reported on so many thousand lives lost one day, so many million jobs lost the next. No one who was in New York City in spring 2020 will forget the ambulances wailing nearly nonstop—an awful, inescapable sound that could shatter any numbed state of a…
It All Depends
While the supporting role of families and friends has been widely recognized in cancer care, little data exist on how they influence patients' decisions regarding clinical trial participation, accounting for patients' decisional preferences. The goal of our study was to examine the process of clinical trial decision-making from the perspective of adults with cancer and their decision partners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 pat…
Zones of Occult Instability
What distinguishes the novel, writes Mikhail Bakhtin, is that “the forces that define it as a genre are at work before our very eyes: the birth and development of the novel as a genre takes place in the full light of the historical day” (“Epic” 3). In this essay, I consider some of the historical forces at work in the birth of the African novel, an event that occurred in the early years of the twentieth century at a French missionary press in sou…
Reclaiming Control” Patient Acceptance and Adherence to HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Following Sexual Assault
Sexual assault is an irrefutable trauma; an insult to the autonomy of the person forced into sexual acts. Sexual assault sequelae range from physical injury and acute traumatic stress, to pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (HIV PEP) following sexual assault may decrease the likelihood of HIV transmission. Many patients seeking healthcare post-sexual assault ei…

Racial/ethnic differences in correlates of psychological distress among five Asian-American subgroups and non-Hispanic Whites
Objective: Despite their vastly different historical backgrounds, unique languages and variable pre- and post-immigration experiences, Asian-Americans are considered to share stressors surrounding immigration, but there is a gap in describing manifestations of possible mental distress. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore and compare differences in factors associated with psychological distress among Asian subgroups including Chinese, F…

We have been thrown away
This essay considers discourses of waste that include humans among the objects of discard: surplus/disposable populations in the Marxian tradition, or what Zygmunt Bauman has called “human waste.” Notions of “surplus people” have a long history in South Africa, and this essay traces a genealogy of their narrative and cultural forms. These forms can alternately mask and expose the “indispensable dispensab[ility]” of vulnerable communities treated …

Consumption for the Common Good? Commodity Biography Film in an Age of Postconsumerism
This article reads three recent documentary films as commodity biographies in which the story of a commodity's production functions less as defetishizing knowledge than as a new object of consumerist desire; such narratives tend to leave untouched the relations of inequality obscured by the commodity form. As an attempt to transform complicitous consumption into ethical consumerism, an emergent discourse of postconsumerism privileges commodities …

Experiencing Breast Cancer in Managed Care
The interest of managed care organizations (MCOs) in decreasing care and outcome variance and lowering costs has created many concerns including those pertaining to the complex and costly nature of cancer care. In this study, we used a hermeneutic phenomenological approach involving semistructured interviews of 14 women with breast cancer to examine MCO enrollees' experiences related to their cancer treatment. Results comprise two themes: managed…

Voices of Spectral and Textual Ancestors
The Xhosa missionary Tiyo Soga appears, but does not speak, in H. I. E. Dhlomo's play about the 1856-57 Xhosa cattle killing, The Girl Who Killed to Save: Nongqause the Liberator. Archival evidence demonstrates that an unattributed song in the play is from a hymn by Tiyo Soga.While this nexus may not constitute evidence of the "genuine intertextuality" that Malvern van Wyk Smith seeks in postapartheid literary historiography, I argue that the (pe…

This essay compares the role of energy infrastructures and electricity in social protest during and after the apartheid era in South Africa. The struggle against apartheid produced both a constitution unparalleled for its commitment to socioeconomic rights, and enduring visions of liberation that far exceed this legal framework. The varied new social movements and community protests that have sprung up in the past two decades amount to a post- (r…
