Abstract
This article employs a queer of color critique as a theoretical lens to analyze the experiences of queer activists of color involved in mobilizing against oppressive laws in Texas. Through a queer of color critique, this interview-based study analyzes the internal power dynamics within a political campaign to uncover how they shaped the possibilities afforded to queer persons of color, what strategies queer people of color developed for resisting power and asserting agency, and how queer of color critique informs public relations theory. The purpose of this article is to advance critical work in public relations research, a commitment that is significant for critical and cultural communication studies.
期刊介绍:
CCC provides an international forum for critical research in communication, media, and cultural studies. We welcome high-quality research and analyses that place questions of power, inequality, and justice at the center of empirical and theoretical inquiry. CCC seeks to bring a diversity of critical approaches (political economy, feminist analysis, critical race theory, postcolonial critique, cultural studies, queer theory) to bear on the role of communication, media, and culture in power dynamics on a global scale. CCC is especially interested in critical scholarship that engages with emerging lines of inquiry across the humanities and social sciences. We seek to explore the place of mediated communication in current topics of theorization and cross-disciplinary research (including affect, branding, posthumanism, labor, temporality, ordinariness, and networked everyday life, to name just a few examples). In the coming years, we anticipate publishing special issues on these themes.
