Abstract
ABSTRACT This autoethnography uses narrative inquiry to make sense of practices normalized during quarantine. It centers my identity as a classed and racialized immigrant in relation to the socioeconomics of quarantine to question seemingly innocent mandates, policies, and practices. The narrative form of the article is influenced by Nathan Hodges’ ‘The Chemical Life.' I use the self-reflexive ‘I' to connect the individual to the social and engage the reader with my routine in quarantine. I also rely on repetition – inspired by Aisha Durham’s ‘On Collards'– to reinforce the normalcy of the quarantine, i.e., what is new for most of us has been the same old for most of us. The repetition combined with understatements attempts to unsettle the novelty of quarantine.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Communication Research publishes original scholarship that addresses or challenges the relation between theory and practice in understanding communication in applied contexts. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome, as are all contextual areas. Original research studies should apply existing theory and research to practical solutions, problems, and practices should illuminate how embodied activities inform and reform existing theory or should contribute to theory development. Research articles should offer critical summaries of theory or research and demonstrate ways in which the critique can be used to explain, improve or understand communication practices or process in a specific context.
