Issue 10 - Women and Media in the Twenty-First Century In celebration of its tenth issue, Alphaville is proud to introduce this special issue on Women and Media as a reflection of the journal’s enduring interest in, and desire to contribute to, this dialogue.

Issue 15 - I-Docs as Intervention: The Poetics and Politics of Polyphony The 2017 promotional campaign that launched Season Nine of Logo’s award-winning reality competition TV series RuPaul’s Drag Race (RPDR) spoke directly to anxieties circulating within LGBT communities in the US and beyond as a result of the 2016 election of Donald Trump (LogoTV). Queerness has always been marked by its untimely relation to socially shared temporal phases, whether individual (developmental) or collective (historical).
