“…Alexander () paid attention to the theory by saying that “disidentification is a practiced positionality and a method that seeks to subvert mainstream constructions of queer identities” (p. 113). Additionally, other queer communication scholars (e.g., Chávez, ; Eguchi & Roberts, ; Moreman & McIntosh, ; Morrissey, ) have paid careful attention to the Muñoz's () theory of disidentifications. Following this trend, we intend to offer additional spaces to envision the theory of disidentifications next.…”

“…As Muñoz's () reinforced, “the minoritarian subject employs disidentifications as a crucial practice of contesting social subordination through the project of worldmaking” (p. 200). For example, Morrissey () described that a group of undocumented migrant youth formed coalitional possibilities by adapting performances of disidentifications to convey their intentions of national/cultural belongings. They engaged in disidentifying from both destabilizing current citizenship structures and assumptions that they want to assimilate.…”

“…The well-regarded studies such as the effect of processes of cross-cultural adaption (e.g., Gudykunst, 2005;Kim, 2001), inter/cultural identities and negotiation (e.g., Collier, 1998;Collier & Thomas, 1988;Hecht, 1993;Jackson, 2002;Ting-Toomey, 1999), and practices of belonging (e.g., Drzewiecka & Halualani, 2002;Kinefuchi, 2010;Shome & Hegde, 2002) have not paid careful and nuanced attentions to our fluid and complex processes and practices of sexuality, sex/gender, and body. At the same time, the queer (or nonheteronormative) scholarships theorizing about intersectionality (e.g., Alexander, 2010;Carrillo Rowe, 2008;Chávez, 2013b;Moreman & McIntosh, 2010;Morrissey, 2013;Yep, 2013) have been underrecognized as the "mainstream" intercultural communication theory. In this context, we advocate the necessity of queer(y)ing intercultural communication theory further.…”

In this theoretical essay, we revisit Muñoz's (1999) highly influential theory of disidentifications to explore the potentiality of queer (of color) identities, performances, and politics in intercultural communication processes. We seek to interrogate the fluid and complex nuances of (dis)identifications with hegemonic relations of power, oppression, and privilege through our narratives as queer transnational/migrant men of color. By arguing that sexuality, sex/gender, and body function as significant facets of overall identity, we move forward to discuss larger implications of disidentifications to communication theory.

“…As Cohen (2005) asserts, “While heterosexual privilege impacts and constrains the lived experiences of ‘queers’ of color, so too do racism, classism, and sexism” (p. 31). Consequently, accounting the conception of intersectionality—a simultaneous function of race, ethnicity gender, sexuality, class, nationality, and the body in the historical and ideological contexts—helps us as researchers understand and critique the particularities of embodied knowledge(s) for LGBTQ people of color to navigate the heteronormative matrix of whiteness, patriarchy, and capitalism (e.g., Chávez, 2013; Eguchi, Files-Thompson, & Calafell, 2018; Ferguson, 2003; Moreman & McIntosh, 2010; Morrissey, 2013; Yep, 2013). Intersectionality originally emerges from Black feminist thought (e.g., Crenshaw, 1991) as they seek to account for how both race and gender together construct the institutional experiences of Black women.…”

As a method, we use autoethnography to explore coalition politics from our positions in academia. We use autoethnography to examine how similar identity categories presume sameness and can lead to conflict within institutions. This autoethnography looks at how coalitional politics were learned, as well as how coalitional politics are practiced within the institutional spaces of the university and academic discipline. In particular, we examine how we have experienced conflict and competition, as well as ways that we continue to build coalitional spaces. Through this, we place autoethnography as an explicitly political methodology.

“…Humor is of the most popular and, therefore, most prevalent genres for YouTube content and it has become minority YouTubers' own vernacular (Guo and Lee 2013). By vernacular, I refer to a language that is particular to minority groups and outside of the dominant discourse in a society (Guo and Lee 2013;Morrissey 2013). Through platforms like YouTube, LGBTQ groups can organize as communities and form identity communities across geopolitical boundaries (Alexander and Losh 2010).…”

Considering the transformative potential humor has for minorities who experience exclusion and marginalization, I seek to explore how Spanish gay and lesbian youth construct and communicate gay/lesbian identities using humor as a rhetorical tool. Furthermore, I explore the potential implications of their use of humor for social relations, both within gay and lesbian communities and with the broader society. I approach this discussion though a critical discourse analysis of videos from Spanish Queens-a collaborative YouTube channel, in which LGBTQ youth from diverse parts of the country share their experiences, thoughts, and opinions about being LGBTQ in Spain. Stereotypical humor was the primary form of humor used by SQ vloggers when addressing gay and lesbian issues related to both identification and social relations. Looking at how SQ vloggers most frequently use stereotypical humor, three common functions emerged in all ten videos: (a) affirming identity and separating gay and lesbian experiences from those of other groups, including making a distinction between sexual orientation and gender identity; (b) challenging the conflation of sexual and gender identities (i.e., contesting the notion of gay men and lesbians identifying as members of the opposite sex); and (c) disarming discourses that construct gay and lesbian individuals as threats at both interpersonal and societal levels.
