高等教育国际化具有积极属性，是一种具有执行效应的政策范式。国际化借鉴了想象中的知识生产和交流的良性流动，并呈现为个人、组织和民族国家的去传统化、扩张性、认知和文化机会的集合。政策的目标是身体、思想和情感，但在一个想象中的性别中立、无国界、精英管理和良性的全球知识经济中，这些政策被呈现为无可置疑的好东西。本文利用日本15所私立大学、5所国立大学和8所公立大学的访谈数据，对34名移民学者和13名国际博士研究人员进行了研究，探讨了国际化的情感经济。我们的目标是通过探索与情感组合相关的国际化粘性微观政治，以及构成学术流动性的性别，种族，语言和认知不平等如何经常被排除在话语之外，为国际化理论做出贡献。我们的讨论包括考虑日本的政策背景，情感组合的概念，导航性别制度，不稳定性和语言帝国主义。我们的结论是，非物质的或情感的劳动，需要解开，安装和保持国际化的学术身份，并导航翻译和对抗从日常遇到的差异是大大低估了。
Positive attributes stick to higher education internationalisation, and it is a policy paradigm with performative effects. Internationalisation draws on imagined virtuous flows of knowledge production and exchange, and is presented as an assemblage of detraditionalisation, expansiveness and epistemic and cultural opportunity for individuals, organisations and nation states. Policies target bodies, minds and affect, yet are presented as an unquestionable good in an imagined genderneutral, borderless, meritocratic and benign global knowledge economy. This paper explores the affective economy of internationalisation drawing upon interview data gathered in fifteen private, five national and eight public universities in Japan with thirty-four migrant academics and thirteen international doctoral researchers. We aim to contribute to internationalisation theory by exploring the sticky micropolitics of internationalisation in relation to affective assemblages, and how the gendered, racialised, linguistic and epistemic inequalities constituting academic mobility are frequently disqualified from discourse. Our discussion includes consideration of the Japanese policy context, the concept of affective assemblages, navigating gender regimes, precarity and linguistic imperialism. We conclude that the immaterial or affective labour that is required to unstick, install and maintain an internationalised academic identity and navigate the translations and antagonisms from everyday encounters with difference is substantially under-estimated.
