ABSTRACT This article explores how Sami Blood (2016), as an Indigenous film, addresses colonialism and its consequences. Sami Blood documents historical injustice, shame and how colonialism is internalized by the colonized, and mechanisms of systemic and individual racism. Based on analyses of the film, reviews and perspectives on colonialism and cinema, it is argued that Sami Blood contributes to reconciliation processes in contemporary society because it addresses past events and colonial practices from a Sámi perspective. Sami Blood is the first feature film to use the Indigenous South Sámi language, and the first with a female director, Amanda Kernell.

ABSTRACT The experiences of queer/LGBTQ+ adoptive parents have received limited attention within the communication discipline, particularly at the junction of family and intercultural studies. This qualitative study employs Muñoz’s (1999. Disidentifications: Queers of color and the performance of politics. University of Minnesota Press) disidentifications to unpack how same-sex male adoptive parents re-configure and re-articulate dominantly ascribed meanings such as “family” and “legitimacy.” Based on 20 interviews, this study analyzes how same-sex adopters navigate the heteronormative forces of parenting and traverse the assimilation/resistance dichotomy when it comes to queer parents raising children without (biological) parents. Following a critical thematic analysis, our interview discourses reveal three (dis)identificatory aspects: (a) (re)thinking belonging as parents, (b) (re)articulating legitimacy and (c) (re)making inclusion. Overall, our findings delineate the way same-sex adoptive families construct a hybridity of normalcy and difference without having to live up to heteronormative modes of knowing and relating.

ABSTRACT Palestinians, like many other diasporic communities, have, on the one hand, articulated their personal experiences and their subjectivities through digitalized channels. On the other, they have used social networks as tools for resistance, to make their voices heard by global public opinion. Acknowledging that each social medium is a unique socio-technological environment, displaying particular affordances that shape its dynamics of communicative practices and social interactions, this paper focuses on TikTok, the most popular social network among Gen Zers, disclosing how the affordances of this platform shape and engender a new form of activism, that we will define “playful activism”. The study presents an inductive, multimodal discourse analysis of a sample of widely viewed and shared #freepalestine TikToks unveiling how young Palestinians use this network to construct their narratives through playful performances, which show a deep knowledge of the app’s affordances and a great capacity to adapt to TikTok`s cultural and discursive environment. However, most importantly, these playful performances allow them to spread their political messages among a youth audience that potentially had no previous interest (and probably not even knowledge) about Palestine, fostering both the humanization of Palestinians and building a new solidarity network.

ABSTRACT This special issue emerged from a belief that Communication journals have long ignored Palestinian voices. A review of all manuscripts published across eleven journals published by the National Communication Association provides unequivocal data supporting that belief. Specifically, prior to this special issue, only twelve articles across these 11 outlets emphasized Palestinian perspectives. In this brief introduction to the special issue, a brief summary of the content of those articles is laid out, and a call for the emergence of a domain of Palestinian Communication and Cultural Studies – founded on an essential commitment to center the question of Palestine through a decolonial lens that values the indigenous and Palestinian voice – is made.

ABSTRACT This article provides an embodied approach to theorizing cross-cultural adaptation. I argue that a more diverse and holistic view of adaptation pays attention to the body as an experiencing subject in adaptation contexts. Engaging body geopolitics as guiding a concept, embodied approach to adaptation is a processual experiential approach in which the body engages intersubjective interactions that shapes a newcomer’s adaptation experiences. Using the autoethnographic analytic method, I examined my adaptation experiences as an African postcolonial migrant in the United States. I categorized these experiences into three interconnected situations: the felt geographies of my body, the corporeal experience of adaptation, and disidentification and geopolitics of my body. I theorized that adaptation is non-linear, and its complexity can be understood when the body is studied as the adapting subject.

ABSTRACT People’s attitudes toward illness and disability are a product of how they are informed culturally. Most studies on disability offer quantitative views and apply Western disability models. In this paper, through a series of invoked conversations (morphed into poems) with my Palestinian maternal grandmother and my mother, I examine the concepts of resilience, survival, and historical trauma. By using autoethnography and poetic inquiry, I consider the impact of the Gulf War on Palestinian families and treat survival as a tool informed by Palestinian resilience. Circling back to the attitudes of disability, the disability war metaphor has indeed become real. Rather than dismissing disability metaphors as ableist and harmful, taking due account of the situation of cultural attitudes toward disability and resilience is necessary in Global Disability Studies.
