Perspectiva interseccional y el sujeto político del feminismo Perspectiva interseccional y el sujeto político del feminismo

Abstract

This paper analyses the concept of intersectionality, based on the reasonings by the philosopher Elsa Dorlin, and some approaches by the anthropologist Mara Viveros, among other social scientists. Dorlin uses the concept of intersectionality to provide a critique on the political subject of feminism claimed by materialists and universalists feminists. Her proposal seeks to understand the power relations in a dynamic and complex way, and to see women not as a stable, universal, political identity, but a as circumstantial and only provisionally fixed in the intersection the positions they take in power relations.
