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 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 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 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.

ABSTRACT Covid-19-induced curbs on movement and social distancing, imposed by governments around the world brought transportation and the economy to a standstill in many nations. In India, with its billion-plus population, it severely exposed the problems of the poor, especially millions of internal migrant workers working primarily in unorganised sectors as daily wagers (Umanath, 2020) with little or no culture of savings. When the Indian government announced its first lockdown on March 24, 2020 – factories, construction sites, offices, institutions, organisations and the sort immediately suspended all activities indefinitely, nullifying the migrant labour force’s ability to earn a living and pay bills as they were forced indoors. Then began India’s biggest migration since partition (Ellis-Petersen & Chaurasia, 2020), when millions of these migrant workers based in India’s big cities began their march home to distant villages. This manuscript reflects on this sudden reverse labour migration, demystifying the reasons for this exodus .

ABSTRACT Undocumented youth engage in advocacy efforts to improve their social conditions. Deploying an expanded definition of advocacy communication, this study (a) examined the heterogeneity of undocumented collegestudents' advocacy communication by identifying profiles of undocumented college students based on their participation in various advocacy communication strategies and (b) examined how these advocacy profiles are associated with health (i.e. anxiety, depression, and self-rated health). Latent profile analysis of 1277 California undocumented, mostly Latina/o/x, college students identified four profiles. Frequent advocators had lower levels of self-rated health and higher levels of anxiety and depression than infrequent advocators. Media advocators reported higher levels of anxiety and depression than infrequent advocators. Finally, organizational advocators reported lower levels of anxiety than media advocators and frequent advocators. Our study advances research on the relationship between advocacy communication and health. We provide suggestions that university staff and programs can take to support undocumented students' advocacy efforts and health.

ABSTRACT High-reliability organization (HRO) research has nearly always presented HRO theory positively, causing a skewed perspective that favors implementation of these principles without adequate understanding of the costs to HRO members of chronic mindfulness. This paper presents some of the costs to workers of implementing HRO theory. Without proper management, mindfulness can be exhausted when workers experience protective distortion. A phronetic iterative approach identified five consequences of protective distortion: compulsive hypervigilance, complexity avoidance, mental fatigue, jadedness, and a pathological assumption of responsibility. Contrary to unequivocal calls from HRO researchers for all organizations to implement these principles, organizational leaders should exercise mindfulness regarding how they implement mindfulness-promoting practices. We also identified four coping strategies employed by participants: avoiding, reframing, seeking professional therapy, and cathartic expressing. Those officers who were best able to avoid the costs identified above, were those who had means of testing their sensemaking through open communication with trusted others.

ABSTRACT As COVID-19 has spread globally, so too has public knowledge about the virus, through social media. In multispecies ethnography and health communication, this open and free flow of information has led to a phenomenon called the Tragedy of the Open Society. Located in the Kampung Laut community, this study collected data through in-depth online interviews to explore this interaction between multispecies ethnography and health communication perspectives in analyzing socio-cultural and health phenomena in a dynamic global ecological system. Information circulating among the Kampung Laut community is a valuable resource that is used by some actors to gain profit even though it harms others. As fear, prejudice, and discrimination circulate in the community, the Kampung Laut community fight on the basis of a contextual and flexible multispecies ecological system to survive. This paper raises awareness of the interdependence of humans and nature within the same ecological system.
