This article serves as an introduction to the special section on Sensorial Politics, which includes articles by Nicholas Caverly, Elsa Davidson, Susan Falls and Ali Kenner. The introduction outlines the arguments of the articles before proceeding to a discussion of the common themes they illuminate as a whole. In particular, they address four key issues: the relationship between the sensorial and the political; the role of sensorial disruption and its political effects; the issue of labor; and the issue of knowledge. We conclude that while these pieces advance our understanding of the relationships between the sensorium and politics, they also open up avenues for ongoing research and theorization, particularly in our contemporary situation, in which the Covid-19 pandemic has recast sensorial politics in new ways.

本文作为感官政治特辑的介绍，其中包括 Nicholas Caverly、Elsa Davidson、Susan Falls 和 Ali Kenner 的文章。引言概述了文章的论点，然后再讨论它们作为一个整体阐明的共同主题。特别是，它们解决了四个关键问题：感官与政治之间的关系；感官干扰的作用及其政治影响；劳工问题；和知识的问题。我们得出的结论是，虽然这些作品增进了我们对感官与政治之间关系的理解，但它们也为正在进行的研究和理论化开辟了道路，尤其是在我们当前的情况下，Covid-19 大流行以新的方式重塑了感官政治。
