Sexuality is a crucial battleground in the re-shaping of Europe: struggles over boundaries of recognition, social and legal barriers to citizenship, and the meanings of belonging have coalesced in these years around issues of sexual diversity, emancipation and the re-establishment of sexual hierarchies. How can sexuality also be a good lens through which to understand what is at stake in current social conflicts, and which directions they are taking? Tendencies towards queering, cripping, decolonizing sexuality studies, and towards rethinking materialist perspectives, point to the need to look beyond Europe, beyond the categorising of sexual diversities, and beyond the opposition between progress and backlash, in exploring the sexual in relation to bodies, practices, subjectivities, affects, identities, solidarities. The processes of knowledge production on sexuality are themselves under scrutiny, with debates on how hierarchies and borders of legitimate knowledge are established, experienced, and currently challenged by authoritarian tendencies and by changing working conditions.
