This piece considers the deseos -- wants, desires, needs -- and dolores -- pain or sorrow -- of individuals in US-Mexico transnational partnerships. For transnational Mexicans, “desire” manifests as diverse, even contradictory, expressions of emotion. Migration is intertwined with multiple desires within intimate relationships, but is also tied to suffering across borders. Conflicting articulations of deseos y dolores reveal gender politics as well as the broader socioeconomic inequalities that drive migration and result in the transborder movement that separates couples and family members in a transnational space.
本文探讨了美墨跨国伴侣中个体的欲望(desires,wants,needs)和痛苦(dolores,pain,sorrow)。对于跨国墨西哥人来说,“欲望”表现为多样化的,甚至是相互矛盾的情感表达。移民与亲密关系中的多种欲望交织在一起,但也与跨越边界的痛苦联系在一起。欲望和痛苦的冲突表达揭示了性别政治以及更广泛的社会经济不平等,这些不平等推动了移民,并导致了跨国空间中夫妻和家庭成员的跨境流动。
