  1. Generally, intersectional literature has excluded an examination of identities that are imagined as either wholly or even partially privileged, although those identities, like all identities, are always constituted by the intersections of multiple vectors of power. Peter Kwan notes: straight white maleness arguably is a multiple identity, but intersectionality theorists would resist the claim by straight white males that theirs is an intersectional subjectivity. Central to intersectionality theory is the recovery of the claims and identities of those who, like African American women, are pushed to the margins of racial discourse because of assumptions of patriarchal normativity, and simultaneously pushed to the margins of the feminist discourse because of assumptions of racial normativity. (Kwan, 1996: 1275) Kwan’s intervention suggests that intersectionality has generally been opposed to imagining non-multiply marginalized subjects as central to its theoretical and political project, particularly because of its investment in ‘recovering’ marginalized subjects’ voices and experiences. Yet other scholars emphasize that intersectionality’s most significant contribution is its general theory of identity. Zack argues that [...]

  2. re-thinking intersectionality Jennifer C. Nash abstract Intersectionality has become the primary analytic tool that feminist and anti-racist scholars deploy for theorizing identity and oppression. This paper exposes and critically interrogates the assumptions underpinning intersectionality by focusing on four tensions within intersectionality scholarship: the lack of a defined intersectional methodology; the use of black women as quintessential intersectional subjects; the vague definition of intersectionality; and the empirical validity of intersectionality. Ultimately, my project does not seek to undermine intersectionality; instead, I encourage both feminist and anti-racist scholars to grapple with intersectionality’s theoretical, political, and methodological murkiness to construct a more complex way of theorizing identity and oppression.

  @thomasfuchs Are you, by any chance, related to Leonhart Fuchs (the botanist who “fuchsia” is named after)?

  @thomasfuchs Definitely looks like a Scunthorpe problem. Clearly nobody ever learns anything.

  @thomasfuchs I got penalised once for using the word "snigger" in a forum post, and it was automatically changed to "Sblackpersoning". *sigh*
