ABSTRACT

This editors’ introduction provides an overview of the special issue of Amerasia Journal, “Rethinking Gendered Citizenship: Intimacy, Sovereignty, and Empire.” This introduction offers expansive definitions of intimacy to account for a fuller range of modes of belonging and connection beyond juridical and state-based frameworks. The contributions to the special issue draw from critical ethnic studies, indigenous studies, queer studies, trans studies, and gender studies to elaborate how intimate connections are consciously and unconsciously forged under multiple regimes of settler colonialism and empire, the connections forged across geographies and temporalities, complicate the meanings of inclusion and exclusion.

摘要

该编辑的介绍概述了《Amerasia Journal》的特刊“重新思考性别公民身份：亲密，主权和帝国”。本简介提供了广泛的亲密关系定义，以涵盖法律和基于国家的框架之外的更广泛的归属和联系方式。对这一特殊问题的贡献来自批判性种族研究，土著研究，酷儿研究，跨性别研究和性别研究，以阐明在定居者殖民主义和帝国的多种制度下，有意识和无意识地建立的亲密联系，跨地域和时空形成的联系，使包含和排除的含义复杂化。
