ABSTRACT This article explores my personal journey as a migrant from Colombia to the United States, the experiences of my friend, and the experiences of other migrants as we navigate our identity as citizens and ‘aliens’ during COVID-19. As I dig deep into what being a citizen represents when we migrate from our country of origin, I explore the different layers of meaning that this journey takes when a health pandemic, like COVID-19, is thrown into the mix.

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.

ABSTRACT Immigrants use food blogs to construct and maintain their ethnic identities. During the pandemic in spring of 2020, the Indian food blog Bongmom’s Cookbook, which showcases food from the Kolkata region of India, was my go-to for coping with the sense of uncertainty in the world. The blog and Facebook posts used humor to document meals and family life during the pandemic, while avoiding more difficult topics surrounding the pandemic. Using Bongmom’s blog as an example, this paper argues that the topic of food is fraught with politics. On the one hand, the blog fulfills readers’ emotional needs by helping them connect with their homeland and providing a space for self-care during a crisis, but on the other hand, the absence of discussion on issues such as economic inequality, healthcare, unfair immigration practices, and institutional racism highlights the economic and social divides within the immigrant community.

ABSTRACT Narrating my reflections on the quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and my experience of the crisis in Syria, this paper studies the ways fear can transform into resilience by examining the self-reflexive works Path Out (Causa Creations, 2016) and Another Kind of Girl (You Must know, 2016). Using digital media, the creators of these works of art construct autobiographical, educational, and interactive narratives about coping and belonging in the course of the crisis. I propose viewing both texts as examples of ‘resilient communication’ that reacts to social and cultural issues brought about by crisis and suggests creative solutions that convey optimistic views of the future. Outlining the conventions of resilient communication, in turn, promotes the production of media works that use educational, creative and autobiographical techniques to foster collective resilience.
本文叙述了我对2020年COVID-19大流行期间隔离的思考和我对叙利亚危机的经历，通过审视自我反思的作品《Path Out》(Causa Creations, 2016)和《Another Kind of Girl》(You Must know, 2016)，研究了恐惧转化为韧性的方式。利用数字媒体，这些艺术作品的创作者构建了关于危机过程中应对和归属的自传体、教育和互动叙事。我建议将这两篇文章视为“弹性沟通”的例子，对危机带来的社会和文化问题做出反应，并提出创造性的解决方案，传达对未来的乐观看法。概述弹性传播的惯例，反过来又促进了使用教育、创意和自传技术来培养集体弹性的媒体作品的生产。

ABSTRACT During the COVID-19 pandemic, as shelter-in-place orders were issued in the United States, most people were confined to their homes and adjusted to new domestic routines. This essay traces my routine of walking through different landscapes in Santa Cruz and reflects on being in-between languages and continents. I entangle personal reflections with theory in an attempt to portray the experience of being quarantined across borders in an unfamiliar country with a foreign language and culture. I explore how being in between languages, being nomadic, can serve to deconstruct identity. I find myself observing and contemplating ideas of home and travel, as well as the diversity of landscapes and forms of existence. This essay is a first-person narrative observing the thoughts and sensations that occur in an attempt to disconnect from the saturated screen experience of everyday life and connect with nature and contemplative interior states.

ABSTRACT In this essay, I use discourse tracing to analyse critical movements and shifts in media discourse during the early phases of the COVID-19 outbreak in Singapore. The study follows mainstream media discourses featured in The Straits Times to unearth the tensions, ruptures, and dialectics as the public health crisis developed. Specifically, I traced how media frames were constructed and reconstructed to convey escalating threats. In shaping the production of knowledge about the outbreak, journalistic rituals embedded socio-cultural factors in shapingthe outbreak narrative. In the process, racialized threats of the mobile transnational citizen were discussed, informing us how the virus is manufactured, discussed, and circulated by the media.

Abstract Embodied transnationalism is characterized by intimate experiences of human-made political borders that define, limit, and restrict flows of the “Other.” In the Quarantined Across Borders collection, contributors from immigrant and diasporic backgrounds address the material and discursive differences in how they experience the pandemic in terms of a public health crisis and public policy response that intersects racialized gender, class, citizenship status, and profession.

ABSTRACT This study analyzes use of the terms ‘engaged scholarship’ and ‘engaged research’ in all 11 NCA journals to develop a grounded practical theory (GPT) of engaged communication research. We find that the practice of engaged scholarship is defined by tensions between role identity goals of scholar and practitioner; relational goals of expertise and partnership; and outcome goals of theory and practice. To manage these tensions, engaged scholars (1) discursively construct themselves in dual roles of academic-community member; (2) advocate for researcher reflexivity to manage power dynamics; and (3) privilege theory-practice integrative outcomes. Underlying these tactics, engaged scholars intimate moral and strategic arguments for the practice of engaged scholarship. We discuss the implications of these situated ideals for assessing ‘what counts’ as good scholarship among researchers working at the intersections of theory and practice.

ABSTRACT This paper contributes to the study of communication in Latin America through a theoretical proposal called communication for social re-existence. This concept emerges from the analysis of the community practices of the Nasa indigenous people in the Cauca region of Colombia in which communication and territorial defense are interrelated. Using the metaphor of weaving, this communicative approach is represented as comprising knots (the participating actors), gaps (spaces for reflection) and threads (the strategies). This research hopes to be the beginning of a communicative methodology that will be useful within the organizational proposals of subaltern movements.
