In this article, we argue for “a queer sociology” that centers race and processes of racialization, while naming and decentering Whiteness. “A queer sociology” is a field that foregrounds relations of power, particularly: race, class, empire, gender and gender identity, and sexuality, and that does not use queer in a reductionist way (or merely in reference to LGBT identity‐based projects). We question the uses of queer theory in sociology and show how previous iterations miss/ignore multiple genealogies of the field, like Black feminist thought, women of color feminisms, and the queer of color critique. “A queer sociology” centers power relations beyond gender and sexuality, recognizing the invisible and overarching work of Whiteness and the US (as unnamed centers of analyses) in structuring not only the sociology of sexualities, but sociological thinking overall. We invite sociology to engage with our theorization of “a queer sociology” as a way to transform our categories of analysis and how we conceive of power.

酷儿社会学：关于权力，种族和偏心的白人

在本文中，我们主张以“种族社会学”为中心，以种族和种族化过程为中心，同时命名和分散“白度”。“酷儿社会学”是一个关注权力关系的领域，尤其是：种族，阶级，帝国，性别，性别认同和性取向，并且不以还原论的方式使用酷儿（或仅参考基于LGBT身份的认同）项目）。我们质疑同志论在社会学中的用途，并显示以前的迭代如何遗漏/忽略该领域的多个家谱，例如黑人女权思想，有色女权主义的女性以及有色批评的同志。“奇怪的社会学”将权力关系置于性别和性之外，并认识到怀特尼斯和美国（作为未命名的分析中心）在构建性社会学方面的无形和总体性工作，但总体而言是社会学思维。我们邀请社会学参与“奇怪的社会学”的理论化，以此来转变我们的分析类别以及我们如何理解权力。
