Abstract

This themed issue contributes to discussions of queer positionalities in the context of doing fieldwork on/with queer-identified subjects. The point of departure being that the term queer has emerged to qualify a specific scholarship that contests normative orders in gender and sexuality, and that queering is a form of critique of multiple power relations that informs knowledge production. Normative sex and gender orders are reflected in the power-knowledge relations that produce ‘queerness’ as outsider, abnormal and subaltern. In order to challenge these normativities, the production of knowledge must be contested in its conception. Here we present the theoretical framework that grounds our themed issue as well a short summary of the articles in this series.

Resumen

Este volumen temático contribuye a las discusiones de las posicionalidades queer en el contexto en el que se lleva a cabo el trabajo de campo sobre/con sujetos que se definen como queer. El punto de partida es que el término queer surgió para calificar a un tipo específico de investigación que desafía los órdenes normativos en el género y la sexualidad, y que el queering es una forma de crítica de las múltiples relaciones de poder que influye sobre la producción de conocimiento. El orden sexual y de género se ve reflejado en las relaciones de poder-conocimiento que produce la “queeridad” como algo extranjero, anormal y subalterno. Con el objetivo de desafiar estas normatividades, la producción de conocimiento debe ser desafiada en su concepción. Aquí presentamos el marco teórico sobre el que nuestro volumen temático se fundamenta, así como un breve resumen de los artículos en esta serie.

摘要

此一专刊对于在从事并应对被识别为酷儿主体的田野工作脉络中的酷儿位置性之讨论作出贡献。本文的出发点在于,“酷儿”此一词彙浮现为特定的学术资格,对抗性别与性的常规秩序,以及酷儿化是对于告知知识生产的多重权力关系的一种批判形式。我们反思权力—知识关系中,将“酷儿性”生产为外人、非常态与从属的常规性之性与性别秩序。为了挑战上述的常规性,知识生产必须在此一概念中争夺。我们于此呈现将我们的专刊进行扎根的理论架构,以及此一文集所收录的文章的简短概要。
