Just over a decade ago, Waskul and Plante (2010) called upon sociologists to recognize the myriad of ways sex and sexualities shape and find voice within every social context, structure, and interaction. Rather than a singular or niche subject limited to specific portions of social life, they echoed prior theorizing within and beyond sociology concerning the importance of how people negotiate sexed and/or sexual norms, beliefs, assumptions, desires, and expectations throughout their everyday lives, interactions within themselves, encounters with others, and interactions with broader social structures (see also Dubois 1928; Foucault 1976; Goffman 1977; Plummer 1995; Rubin 1984; Warner 1999). Further, they called for systematic examination of the role of sex and sexual meanings in the reproduction, challenging, and/or maintenance of societal inequalities along lines of race, class, sex, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, and other social locations (see also Duggan 2003; Schrock, Sumerau, and Ueno 2014; Ward and Schneider 2009). The combination of these insights reveals the importance of sex and sexualities in all domains of social and sociological life.

特刊简介

就在十多年前，Waskul 和 Plante（2010）呼吁社会学家认识到性和性行为塑造的无数方式，并在每个社会背景、结构和互动中找到声音。他们不是仅限于社会生活特定部分的单一或利基主题，而是回应了社会学内外的先前理论，即人们如何在日常生活中协商性和/或性规范、信仰、假设、欲望和期望的重要性，他们内部的互动、与他人的接触以及与更广泛的社会结构的互动（另见 Dubois 1928；Foucault 1976；Goffman 1977；Plummer 1995；Rubin 1984；Warner 1999）。此外，他们呼吁系统检查性和性意义在生殖中的作用，具有挑战性，和/或维持种族、阶级、性别、性别、性取向、宗教、国籍和其他社会地点的社会不平等（另见 Duggan 2003；Schrock、Sumerau 和 Ueno 2014；Ward 和 Schneider 2009）。这些见解的结合揭示了性和性欲在社会和社会生活的所有领域中的重要性。
