Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In this essay, my goal is to push the discourse of critical queer intercultural communication research further and expand its circumference by focusing on transnational and diasporic digitalized queer experiences. Hence, I argue that new media technologies, social media platforms, and quick media applications play a significant role in the lives of transnational, diasporic and immigrant queer individuals by providing new opportunities to imagine home and belonging and perform transnational and accented queer identities. Therefore, I enact and embody decolonizing autoethnographic writing. In doing so, I aim to decolonize mainstream queer spaces, including how queer stories are being told and whose stories are being published in which venues. Thus, I aim to speak from the periphery, including that of queer and critical intercultural communication scholarship, with a transnational queer accent.
