Resumen
La interseccionalidad se considera una de las mayores contribuciones a los estudios de género y feministas de las últimas décadas. A pesar de ello, algunas teóricas son suspicaces al actual uso acrítico y fetichización de la interseccionalidad y otras la contemplan como un neologismo a la moda. En base a la experiencia de articulación de la Plataforma de la Marcha Mundial de Mujeres del País Vasco, este texto explora alguna de las tensiones que surgen a la hora de poner en práctica la interseccionalidad. Con el fin de recuperar su carácter radical y transformador originario de los feminismos negros, se presentan tres retos de la interseccionalidad como herramienta de articulación política: (i) atender la interrelación entre subjetividad e interseccionalidad (ii) su repolitización y radicalización y (iii) la apuesta por una interseccionalidad situada y contingente. Más que una noción caduca, la interseccionalidad es presentada como una herramienta con un potencial político y teórico aún por explorar.
Intersectionality is considered one of the major contributions to gender and feminist studies in recent decades. Despite this, some theorists are suspicious of the current uncritical use and fetishization of intersectionality and others see it as as a buzzword. Based on the experience of articulation of the Platform of the World March of Women of the Basque Country, this text explores some of the tensions that arise when implementing intersectionality. In order to recover its radical and transformative character originating in black feminisms, three challenges of intersectionality are presented as a tool for political articulation: (i) addressing the interrelationship between subjectivity and intersectionality (ii) its re-politicization and radicalization and (iii) the commitment to a situated and contingent intersectionality. More than an expired notion, intersectionality is presented as a tool with a political and theoretical potential yet to be explored .
