在过去的几十年里，性在社会分析中的地位发生了重要的转变。从强调社会力量在决定性行为模式和规范中的作用的方法出发，我们开始认为性不仅与这些社会力量深深地交织在一起，而且是共同构成的：我们现在问它们是如何通过性产生的。举一个移民研究领域的例子，新的研究不仅解决了移民如何影响移民的性别、性规范和行为，而且还提出了性，即“性安排、意识形态和监管模式”如何塑造移民和融入过程的问题（Luibhéid 2005：ix）。由于分析重点的这些变化，性研究的领域现在如此扩展，以至于“需要我们了解种族化、发达国家与殖民地或后殖民地之间的动态、性别生物形态的稳定性等等”（Warner 2012：n.p.）。此外，它呼吁不要将性视为对预先给定的分析框架或人口变量的补充，而是将其视为权力轴心，既构成其他权力轴心和统治形式，又构成其他权力轴心和统治形式。性深深地与创造现代性的权力和技术纠缠在一起，处于这种光芒之下，这在很大程度上要归功于福柯的开创性著作，即性别和性政治的简写。我们特刊中汇集的论文对性、国家和全球之间的关系分享了批判性的观点。因此，我们解决的问题深深地涉及到最近性研究中观察到的三个主要趋势（Binnie 2004：1 2）：对更广泛的社会经济结构和全球资本主义的新兴趣；明确关注种族、民族和（新）帝国主义之间的相互作用，以及它们如何通过性产生和再生产，反之亦然；人们对国家的兴趣不断增长，这里将其理解为“不是一个事物、一个系统或一个主体”。 。 .]而是一个权力和技术明显不受限制的领域，是话语、规则和实践的集合，彼此之间以有限的、紧张的、常常矛盾的关系共存”（Brown 1995：174 175）。与许多假设国家撤退的全球化研究不同，我们特刊中收集的大多数论文都关注国家的转型
In the past decades, the place of sexuality in social analyses has undergone an important transformation. From an approach underscoring the role of social forces in determining the patterns of sexual behaviour and norms, we have come to consider sexuality not only as deeply enmeshed with these social forces, but also as coconstitutive: we now ask how they are produced through sexuality. To give but an example from the field of migration studies, new researches do not only address how immigration impacts on gender and sexual norms and behaviours of migrants, but also raise the question of how sexuality, that is, ‘‘sexual arrangements, ideologies, and modes of regulation’’ shape migration and incorporation processes (Luibhéid 2005: ix). As a consequence of these changes in analytical focus, the field of sexuality studies is now so expanded that it ‘‘requires us to understand such things as racialisation, the dynamic between developed countries and colonies or postcolonies, the stabilisation of sex biomorphism, and so on’’ (Warner 2012: n.p.). Moreover, it calls for a treatment of sexuality not as an addition to a pre-given frame of analysis or a demographic variable, but as an axis of power both constituted and constitutive of other axes of power and forms of dominance. Deeply entangled in power and technologies of making modernity, sexuality is under this light, which owes much to Foucault’s seminal work, shorthand for the politics of gender and sexuality. The papers brought together in our special issue share a critical perspective on the relationship between sexuality, the nation and the global. The questions we address are thus deeply implicated in three major tendencies observed in recent research on sexuality (Binnie 2004: 1 2): a renewed interest in wider socio-economic structures and global capitalism; an explicit focus on the interplay between race, nation and (neo)imperialism and how they are produced and reproduced through sexuality and vice versa; and a growth of interest in the state understood here ‘‘not as a thing, a system, or a subject [. . .] but a significantly unbounded terrain of powers and techniques, an ensemble of discourses, rules and practices, cohabiting in limited, tension-ridden, often contradictory relation with one another’’ (Brown 1995: 174 175). Unlike much work on globalisation that assumes a retreat of the state, most of the papers gathered in our special issue attend to the transformation of state
