“…In line with research on intersectionality and collective movements (Al-Rebholz, 2013;Fenster & Misgav, 2015;Lopez & Garcia, 2014), the current study indicated that minorities not very willing to join a protesting group when that group is perceived as dominated by majority identity groups. Additionally, this study provided insight into the reason for this state of unwillingness at the psychological level.…”

“…Accordingly, there has been an expansion of the use of an intersectional framework to study social movements (Woehrle, 2014). However, these studies have tended to analyze the issue at the movement level, that is, the failed capacity of a movement to recognize intersecting identities, hierarchical process of agenda settings, and distancing of minorities from majorities (Fenster & Misgav, 2015;Horn, 2013;Lopez & Garcia, 2014). Therefore, though these studies have supported the argument that resistance against oppression is not immune to oppressive practices (Crenshaw, 1991), they do not directly inform us about how this impacts individuals' decisions and motivation for engagement with a collective action.…”

“…For example, Fenster and Misgav (2015) illustrated the construction of a politically and spatially separate resistance camp by marginalized residents of Tel Aviv, Israel, within a larger movement of protests that were initiated by middle class ethnic majority residents against rising housing prices and livings costs. Similarly, Lopez and Garcia (2014) analyzed interpretative frames of individual assemblies in the Indignatos movement in Spain and showed that interpretative frames characterizing the movement significantly differed in their capacities to give voice to multiple inequalities. Finally, it has been seen that when subordinated identities dominate a collective action, their voices are not necessarily heard by the dominant actors in society.…”

The present study is an exploration of marginalized social identities in the context of social movements. Data have been drawn from a larger project on youth political participation in the 2013 Gezi protests in Turkey. The study's aim was to understand the ways in which individuals with subordinated minority identities negotiate participation in a heterogeneous social movement in which they are required to act together with majority identity groups. A Labovian analysis of 3 particular cases illustrating hesitations and discomfort about acting together with perceived oppressors in the protests is presented. Each case focuses on disadvantaged social identities, preexisting social hierarchies, and difficulties in welcoming a collective identity shared with other protesters. The analysis indicates that when protest participation requires individual protesters to act together with identity groups that do not recognize their identity as equal in social hierarchies, certain identity threats and dilemmas about participation in the movement emerge. The presence of similar others (i.e., other minoritydisadvantaged members of the society), the possibility of developing a supraidentity over preexisting hierarchies and a strong investment in group efficacy appear to be significant in dealing with these dilemmas. A discussion with reference to larger societal dynamics, intersectionality, and narrative analysis is presented.

“…Ce n'est donc pas un pur hasard si la traduction en turc du terme « intersectionnalité » date des évènements de Gezi en 2013, qui ont donné lieu à des coalitions inusitées dans le paysage politique turc entre des groupes fort distants tels que Lambda Istanbul (organisation LGBTQ) et Jeunesse musulmane anticapitaliste 6 . Certains de ces mouvements reflètent l'esprit de l'intersectionnalité dans leurs tentatives de forger une identité politique collective inclusive et leurs pratiques organisationnelles, comme c'est le cas dans le mouvement espagnol Indignados (Lopez et Ruiz Garcia 2014). Les imaginaires politiques de ces luttes populaires disparates et dispersées où se propagent les idées et les sensibilités intersectionnelles se communiquent.…”

Le féminisme académique entretient une relation ambiguë avec l’intersectionnalité qu’il encense et discipline du même souffle. Par un ensemble de discours et de pratiques, la pensée critique raciale est évacuée de l’appareillage actuel de l’intersectionnalité et les personnes racialisées comme productrices des savoirs intersectionnels se trouvent marginalisées dans les débats et les espaces académiques contemporains. La science sert souvent d’alibi dans de telles opérations. Ces dernières font l’objet de l’analyse de l’auteure qui les conceptualise en tant que blanchiment de l’intersectionnalité.

“…Using intersectionality in critical analysis of law entails approaching social positioning as a locus of subjetification, power and privilege, which dynamically changes over time and context in relation to the different structures that conform social life. Intersectionality also requires to integrate activism, theory and practice (Golberg, 2009;Cho et al, 2013;Cruells and Ruiz, 2014), breaking the divide between academia and social work. It finally calls for the collaboration of several actors from different societal spheres.…”

Intersectionality and its journeys: from counterhegemonic feminist theories to law of european multilevel democracy

Intersectionality originated as a tool for critical legal analysis. It focused on the multiplicity of interactions among the grounds of social exclusion, such as gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, national origin, (dis)ability and socioeconomic status among others, shedding light on the complexity of the mechanisms of power and privilege in social relations. In the last twenty-five years, intersectionality gained increasing popularity in the Anglophone academia, but had uneven diffusion in the different socio-political contexts. This article addresses its conceptual origins, providing a genealogy that connects intersectionality with counterhegemonic feminist theories. Intersectionality is then examined in connection with Critical Legal Studies within the American socio-legal context of the 70s where it has originally been developed as a category of legal analysis. It is argued that transposing a concept from another legal system into the European legal framework poses a number of challenges. This article offers an overview of recent developments of European Union law as an example of the advancements and challenges that the implementation of intersectionality in European democracy might suppose. It finally discusses the utility of intersectionality for legal scholarship in the context of democratic societies that aim at removing the formal and substantive obstacles towards the equality of their members.
