Although the concept of homonationalism is still relatively new, it has already undergone substantial reformulation from its original conception. Moreover, the concept has been the subject of substantial debate. Originally formulated by Jasbir Puar specifically in a US context, the concept sought to capture the reciprocal relationship between LGBTQ + movements/identities and nationalism/imperialism. The concept has since expanded in scope both geographically and analytically, applied to contexts outside of the United States, and increasingly analyzed as a global, inescapable phenomenon. This expansion has been sharply criticized with arguments that the concept has been overextended. Such critiques argue that the extension of the concept's scope has limited homonormativity's utility both critically and analytically. In this article, we seek to outline how the concept is applied and used as well as the debates emerging from the concept—and from its reformulation in particular. We also identify areas where further clarity related to the concept is needed. Given the concept's complexity and multifaceted usage, we suggest that future research engage carefully in the debates sparked by its development.

概念化同族主义：（重新）扩展的形成，应用和辩论

尽管同民族主义的概念仍然相对较新，但它已经从其原始概念进行了实质性的重新表述。而且，该概念一直是实质性辩论的主题。该概念最初由贾斯比尔·普（Jasbir Puar）专门在美国背景下提出，旨在捕捉LGBTQ +运动/身份与民族主义/帝国主义之间的对等关系。此后，该概念在地理和分析上都扩大了范围，适用于美国以外的地区，并日益被分析为一种全球性，不可避免的现象。这种扩展已被过分批评，认为该概念已被过度扩展。这种批评认为，概念范围的扩展已经严重限制了同规范性和分析性。在本文中，我们试图概述如何应用和使用该概念，以及从该概念（尤其是从其重新制定）引发的争论。我们还确定了需要进一步澄清与该概念相关的区域。考虑到该概念的复杂性和多方面的用途，我们建议未来的研究应仔细参与其发展引发的辩论。
