Abstract The concept of “cracking the cracked-up system” was introduced in a 2018 National Communication Association (NCA) convention panel. The panel’s purpose was to bring voices together and validate both presenters’ and members’ experiences in higher education. Several women have contributed to the conversation across the years, and these conversations have crafted sustained interstage feminist academic collaboration. In this layered account, the narratives include mental health, burnout, and institutional support for women in academia who, after being socialized into the culture of academia during graduate school, struggle with the pressure to be the traditional ideal academic worker. Our narratives demonstrate how interstage feminist academic collaboration can serve as a support system given the “cracked-up” nature of the university.

Abstract This research utilizes aspects of narrative and ideological criticism to analyze complex mystery television and representations of women. Using the first season of Big Little Lies, the authors argue that the disruption of narrative conventions creates a productive liminality in which the viewer takes on the role of detective. This positioning of the viewer-as-detective encourages viewers to attempt to solve the mystery but also to interrogate their perceptions of the main female characters depicted, ultimately helping to question rather than reinforce stereotypical representations of women.

Abstract Digital-sexual racism is mediated though geosocial networking applications (GSNAs), also known as dating/hookup apps. Digital-sexual racism seeks to explain how access to multiple profiles, emphasis on self-presentation, and increased anonymity found on GSNAs results in racism and discrimination for people of color. Scholars have started to explore digital-sexual racism on GSNAs; however, Canadian women of color (WOC) have not been included in this exploration to date. Informed by a feminist lens, we conducted focus groups with 12 WOC from Ontario, Canada, to explore how the intersection of their race/ethnicity, gender, and geographic location influenced their experience and engagement with GSNAs. We summarized our results as follows: (1) forms of digital-sexual racism, (2) influence of geography, and (3) sexism from men of color and immigrant men. We argue that the intersection of race, gender, and geographic location affords a unique experience between WOC/non-WOC and within the broad WOC category as well.

Abstract What happens when we treat sexual trauma as a disability? This article examines the federal execution case of Lisa Montgomery, who murdered Bobbie Jo Stinnett and kidnapped her baby, with this question as its motivation. Prior to execution, dozens of clemency petitions circulated publicly, revealing how Montgomery was repeatedly subjected to instances of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse across her lifetime, generating robust commentary about mental disability and sexual violence. I argue that these petitions—even in their effort to retrain public opinion of how Montgomery’s history shaped her actions—upheld carceral logics that insisted Montgomery must pay for her bodymind, reinforcing the idea that mentally ill women do not belong in the public sphere. By carving critical space for sexual violence within feminist disability studies, this article demonstrates how the tensions that ensue when categorizing the aftermath of sexual trauma as a disability result from a discursive incapacity of the state.
当我们将性创伤视为一种残疾时会发生什么?本文以这个问题为动机，考察了联邦政府对丽莎·蒙哥马利(Lisa Montgomery)的死刑判决，她谋杀了博比·乔·斯廷内特(Bobbie Jo Stinnett)并绑架了她的孩子。在执行死刑之前，数十份宽恕请愿书公开流传，揭露了蒙哥马利一生中如何反复遭受性虐待、身体虐待和精神虐待，引发了关于精神残疾和性暴力的强烈评论。我认为，这些请愿书——即使是在努力让公众重新认识到蒙哥马利的经历如何影响了她的行为——支持了坚持蒙哥马利必须为她的身心付出代价的顽固逻辑，强化了精神疾病女性不属于公共领域的观点。通过在女权主义残疾研究中为性暴力开辟关键空间，本文展示了当将性创伤的后果归类为残疾时，随之而来的紧张局势是如何由国家的话语无能造成的。

Abstract This article argues that the anti-masking and anti-vaccination subreddit community known as r/NoNewNormal is an example of a parasitic public that circulates feelings of autonomy, victimization, and militancy to advance white masculinity in the public sphere. This bundle of affects thrives parasitically on the corrosiveness of deliberative democracy and neoliberal antagonisms (e.g., mask mandates and lockdowns). We call this virulent enactment of parasitic publicity indecent public exposure (IPE) to emphasize the literal and figurative toxicity of white masculinity that has been “whipped out” during precarious times.

Abstract Despite important inquiries on queerness, communication scholars have yet to explore the lives of folks on the asexual spectrums (also known as “ace”). This study brings attention to how rhetorics of allonormativity, or the discursive and material forces that discriminate against aces, influence ace identity. By providing in-depth and rich qualitative interview data gifted by 20 ace interviewees, I locate and organize several types of communication sources that lead people to first consider their aceness, such as interactions with friends, family members, and partners, with online content, in classrooms, and through film. Then, attention is called to the ways in which rhetorics of allonormativity can be challenged, and solutions are discussed at interpersonal and structural levels in communication studies and beyond.
