Governing bodies? by Kudzaiishe Peter Vanyoro, George Mavunga, Zvenyika Eckson Mugari

“…With the acronym of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Allies and Pansexual (LGBTQQIAAP) in mind, the paper explores how the flyers and posters pre-suppose that all bodies are inherently sexual, heterosexual, male/female, able-bodied, young and willing participants in sexual activities. Drawing on previous research which mainly focused on the power relations between the adverts’ composers and their potential customers, the paper explores a different dimension of the adverts by problematising instances of these adverts’ complicity in heteronormative, cisnormative, ableist, and ageist discourses that conceal the operations of power over bodies. …”

Five Misconceptions About Interview Modes or: How to Improve Our Thinking About Face-to-Face Versus Remote Interviewing by Lars E. F. Johannessen, Erik Børve Rasmussen, Marit Haldar

“…In this article, we take stock of existing writings on interview modes in qualitative interview research. Drawing on key insights from more general theorizing about face-to-face and remote interaction, we identify and challenge five key assumptions in writings about interview modes: (1) that physical copresence ensures more and better data; (2) that interview modes have determinate effects on interaction; (3) that remote interviewing should seek to replicate face-to-face interviewing; (4) that interviews modes should be held constant within each study; and (5) that face-to-face interviewing is unmediated. …”
