Abstract This paper focuses on the performance of small stories from two Cambodian men interviewed by the researcher about the relationships they form with men from the Global North. The analysis attends to the empirical significance of these performances by focusing on the mobilization of affect as an interactional linguistic and narrative resource that foregrounds social action in this context. In this way, these small stories reveal how these men may challenge and reshape dominant social discourses at this sexualised North/South interface. Bringing to the field of narrative inquiry approaches from queer linguistics, and Southern perspectives, this paper is therefore tasked with exploring what the field may potentially gain from these areas, especially regarding the theoretical and methodological possibilities of a North/South dialogue in the production of knowledge.

在全球南方作为叙事行动的影响

摘要 本文重点讲述了研究人员采访的两名柬埔寨男子的小故事，讲述了他们与来自全球北方的男子之间形成的关系。分析关注这些表演的经验意义，重点关注情感的动员，将情感作为一种互动语言和叙事资源，将社会行动置于这种背景下。通过这种方式，这些小故事揭示了这些男人如何在这个性别化的南北交界处挑战和重塑主流社会话语。因此，本文从酷儿语言学和南方视角引入叙事探究方法领域，探索该领域可能从这些领域获得什么，
