摘要本导言以跨国移徙办法为基础，概述了新出现的方法论跨国主义方案的一些要素。这一努力的目的是在移徙研究中取消国家移民的概念。首先，分析确定了移民研究的方法论挑战，如情境化、族裔视角和对民族性的本质观点。其次，它指出了应对这些方法论挑战的相关概念要素，如对方法论民族主义、世界主义和关系空间概念的批判。第三，论述了相关的方法，如多点民族志方法、流动方法方法以及研究者的定位和去民族化策略，这些都与移民研究的新认识论相对应。最后，它强调了对这一特别问题的贡献的共同特点，这些特点超越了跨境移徙的规范性观点。
Abstract Building on the transnational approach to migration, this introduction outlines some elements of the programme of an emergent methodological transnationalism. This effort aims to de-naturalize the concept of the national within migration studies. First, the analysis identifies methodological challenges of migration studies, such as contextualization, the ethnic lens and the essentializing view on ethnicity. Second, it indicates the relevant conceptual elements which deal with these methodological challenges, such as the critique of methodological nationalism, cosmopolitanism and the relational concept of space. Third, it addresses the relevant methods, such as multi-sited ethnography, the mobile methods approach, as well as researchers' positionality and strategies of de-ethnicization, all of which correspond to the new epistemology of migration studies. Finally, it highlights the common characteristics of the contributions to this special issue, which go beyond the normative view of cross-border migration.
