Disidentifications Revisited: Queer(y)ing Intercultural Communication Theory.

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.
