A interseccionalidade desde o Brasil: teias de resistência entre o pensamento de feministas negras brasileiras

Abstract

In this research, we explore intersectionality in the Brazilian context through dialogues between Lélia Gonzalez, Sueli Carneiro, Djamila Ribeiro, Carla Akotirene, Juliana Borges, and Letícia Nascimento. The theoretical framework articulates these authors with Epistemologies of the South, with knowledge and experiences constructed against forms of oppression, and with decolonial feminism, in an anti-capitalist, anti-cisheteropatriarchal, and anti-racist critique. The objective was to understand how the concept of intersectionality allows us to analyze the relationships between race, class, gender, and sexuality in Brazil, highlighting the articulations between various axes of domination in the theoretical production of these authors. The research adopts a qualitative-interpretative approach, in which intersectionality is configured simultaneously as an object of investigation and as a theoretical methodological perspective. As a theme, it guides the analysis of the ways in which Black Brazilian women authors use it to understand the relationships between race, class, gender, and sexuality; as a method, it offers the critical lens that guides the comparative and relational reading of theoretical productions published between 2010 and the beginning of the 2020s.
