ABSTRACT Often associated with the volatile cryptocurrency Bitcoin, a blockchain is a distributed ledger, an additive record of digitally networked transactions. On the assumption that technologies are cultural practices as much as they are instrumental, this essay contributes to the special issue on big data in communication by examining texts that constitute blockchain in a shared political imaginary and, in so doing, participate in blockchain's future. The essay analyzes how materials produced by IBM orient blockchain within contemporary ideals such as transparent access, immutability, and a single source of truth. Drawing on Sean Phelan's study of neoliberal politics and global media, including the naturalization of ideological values, the essay proposes that public discourses about blockchain evidence fundamental human desires to access truth and establish an infrastructure immune to corruption. The study finds that blockchain's decentralized infrastructure comports with a historical moment in which sociality itself is under intense pressure, and wherein the idea and practice of interconnected yet distrustful nodes make sense in the absence of functional governance. The essay concludes that in the routinized social practices of the blockchain's executive protocols, political potential is undercut by the absence of prospective and fundamental change.

ABSTRACT “Big data” is neither unified nor stable, but instead offers opportunities for further exploration of queer methods. Communication studies scholars are particularly well suited to engage in this developing area. The potentials are illustrated in this article's description of an in-progress collaborative research project using artificial intelligence to examine public engagement with campus monuments and memorials at a large southeastern university. This discussion of an in-progress big-data research project, a collaboration between scholars of communication, public history/digital humanities, and geography, exemplifies the alignment of communication studies and emerging discussions in queer methods to a degree that we argue communication studies already is and has long been a queer project.

ABSTRACT In this theoretical piece, we discuss the limitations of using purely computational techniques to study big language data produced by people online. Instead, we advocate for mixed-method approaches that are able to more critically evaluate and consider the individual and social impact of this data. We propose one approach that combines qualitative, traditional quantitative, and computational methods for the study of language and text. Such approaches leverage the speed and expediency of computational tools while also highlighting the value of qualitative methods in critically assessing the outcome of computational results. In addition to this, we highlight two considerations for communication scholars utilizing big data: (1) the need to consider more language variations and (2) the importance of self-reflexivity when conducting big language data research. We conclude with additional recommendations for researchers seeking to adopt this framework in the context of their own research.

When I was selected to be the editor for the Review of Communication, the first themed issue I had in mind was one that addressed big data in communication. I had three main reasons for focusing on big data in communication. First, over the past 20 years, there have been numerous high-quality big data studies in communication. Many of these studies have predominantly fallen within the realms of mass communication, political communication, information and communication, and digital communication. However, increasingly, studies have started to employ big data within health communication, interpersonal communication, and other “communication” disciplines. Second, my interest in this topic stemmed from the same interest shared by Parks (2014), who in his special issue on big data in communication wanted to provide a benchmark for research innovation. In his special issue afterword, Parks discussed how much of the work being done on big data at the time might not stand the test of time but would guide future work. Thus, I wanted to provide an outlet for researchers to methodologically progress the field of big data in communication. The third reason was more personal in nature. I have been working closely with big data for the past six years. My university has a Master’s of Analytics program, and in my role as Head of School, I have worked closely with academics from the College of Science, and College of Business to mentor master’s students using big data to explore multiple interdisciplinary questions. I have been fortunate enough to even advise a few students on their master’s theses as they published their works. I had become a part of the Big Data Movement from a bureaucratic point of view and then a research point of view. In this themed issue, I wanted to see how communication scholars were employing big data. It is my hope that the articles in this themed issue represent the diversity of communication and big data, progress the field of big data in communication, and pique your own interest in this growing field of inquiry. So, what is big data? Big data refers to large, dynamic, and distinct volumes of data created by people, tools, and machines. In each of the articles within this themed issue, “big data” is conceptualized and operationalized differently. However, what each article has in common is that each article shows the diversity of how the communication

ABSTRACT The ideology of dataism has been highly influential during the first two decades of the 21st century, impacting emergent Big Data analytic technologies’ practical application and how the public receives them. In this article, I draw upon William R. Brown's Rhetoric of Social Intervention to interpret the dataism ideology as a communication process. I argue dataism comprises constituent discourses of attention, power, and need that combine to create, reify, and maintain an understanding of Big Data technologies rooted in technoliberalism and technoutopianism. Interplay between these systems has helped keep intact a generally positive public view of Big Data, naming it a collection of innovative technologies that use large quantities of previously unused data to progress social and economic decision-making. I conclude by suggesting the ecosystem of rhetorical interventions into dataism's discourses helps explain how Big Data has grown more popular despite repeated scandals and argue interpreting dataism as a communication process offers fruitful ground for research and critical intervention.

ABSTRACT Rhetoric has been slow to adopt big-data techniques, but that is changing. In this article, we describe the formative work of our rhetoric-data science team on an ideographic analysis of state veteran laws. Our interdisciplinary approach enabled us to build a corpus of more than 7,000 files, segment that corpus into likely public and private laws, and develop dictionaries for discerning individual entitlements, such as waived fees for gun permits. Early results show state-level trends in the number of veteran laws, proportion of veteran laws concerning disabled veterans, and proportion of veteran/disability laws affording individual entitlements. While this article presents early findings, its broader purpose is to contribute to discussions of corpus building, data cleaning, formative analysis, and the value of big-data-rhetoric collaborations. Our experience provides five insights: (1) big-data collection methods can save a public rhetoric project when customary retrieval methods fail; (2) big-data-rhetoric work starts conceptually and becomes concretized; (3) formative big-data rhetoric work can problematize fundamental research assumptions, such as what should be included in a corpus; (4) big-data methods can produce interesting results early, yielding a roadmap for future work; and (5) big-data-rhetoric teams need more guidance from the field.

Objective: The study aimed to assess the association between adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures and access to media information related to COVID-19.
Methods: A multi-country, cross-sectional study using an online survey was conducted from June to December 2020. The sample included 1,457 participants from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. The outcome variable was self-reported adherence to preventive measures (handwashing, social distancing, self-isolation, use of face masks, and working from home). The explanatory variable was self-report of following media information related to COVID-19 (watching or reading the news, following social media coverage). Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the associations.
Results: Following information on social media was positively associated with higher odds of practicing social distancing (AOR=5.39; 95%CI: 3.93-7.30), self-isolation (AOR=1.44; 95%CI: 1.08-1.92), use of face masks (AOR=16.84; 95%CI: 10.03-28.27), handwashing (AOR=6.95; CI 95%: 4.98-9.71), and working from home (AOR=1.85; 95% CI: 1.43-2.41). Differences in the use of social media for COVID-19 information were observed among the four countries.
Conclusion: Following social media was positively associated with adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures in Latin America. Social media may be effectively used for COVID-19 behaviour modification in Latin America.

ABSTRACT Phantasms in the Halls: A Future University is Possible, is a mediated live performance presented synchronously on Zoom and in person. In this devised ensemble piece, the performers offer a performative response to recent scholarship on the settler colonial university and its significance in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. The work weaves together theories of fugitivity, spectrality, and refusal to offer contextually situated critiques of labor practices under quarantine. The performance form works in collaboration with its critical content to offer an embodied, albeit mediated, look into what decolonizing academic labor can look like in a moment of global epistemic upheaval and collective survival.

ABSTRACT This article examines the guerilla garden as a contested space of knowledge and a means of (re)composing urban landscapes. Guerilla gardening is the radical transformation of public property for illicit cultivation. As a practice, it involves individuals or groups of people transforming public and private spaces of neglect through the planting of crops or decorative plants. The purpose is to (re)compose decaying or unproductive spaces into sites of resilience and fecundity as a practice of spatial justice.
