More specifically, we are concerned with how platforms adjust users’ multimodal affordances during livestreaming public events, and how these adjustments affect public deliberation. This article focuses on an historic, political Twitch livestream: U.S. President Joe Biden's inaugural address on January 20, 2021. For rhetoric and writing scholars, this event is significant for two reasons: (1) it is the first presidential inauguration to be livestreamed, officially, on Twitch by the president's committee, and (2) the livestream's chat was restricted to “emote-only,” meaning online audience members could only communicate with Twitch emotes in the “live chat” space of the stream. Based on an analysis of more than 12,000 comments, our findings support a theory of what we call <em>affective spam</em>, a more nuanced, visual-content-based form of spam that online audiences use to influence public communication and deliberation on social media during live events.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 102711"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91694548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By responding to <em>Computers and Composition</em>’s 2019 special edition “Digital Technologies, Bodies, and Embodiments,” I use the metaphors of decomposition, recomposition, and uncomposition (Alexander and Rhodes 2012; Bratta and Sundvall 2019) to analyze the video <em>Beauty</em>. I demonstrate how Wynn's understanding of her own body as subject to the gaze of others leads her at various times to accept, reject, and subvert language historically used to decompose marginalized bodies. Building on McCormick (2020), I find that one feature of emerging trans rhetorics distinct from queer rhetorics is explicit grappling with “the embodiment contradiction,” the unresolvable tension between the body-as-mediated and the body-as-mediating that gets expressed as a rhetorical oscillation between affirming and rejecting dominant norms of gender and sexuality. Using the example of Wynn, I argue that queer rhetorical perspectives may not fully capture the rhetorical dynamics of the embodiment contradiction because her trans rhetoric requires making space for affirming identity categories while simultaneously critiquing them. While this article focuses on the semantic content of the video, it has implications for the way scholars study how a video's ideas circulate in the larger ecology of YouTube and in other intersecting online landscapes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35773,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Composition","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 102696"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136816613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
