In this paper we propose to examine the effects and implications of the adoption of an intersectional approach for the analysis in and from Latin American and Caribbean feminisms, which are included within the border space between academia and political activism, with the general purpose of re-polit...

description In this paper we propose to examine the effects and implications of the adoption of an intersectional approach for the analysis in and from Latin American and Caribbean feminisms, which are included within the border space between academia and political activism, with the general purpose of re-politicizing and re-complex the intersectional perspective. To do this, in the first instance, we will draw political genealogies that allow us to historicize the concept and tie intersectionality to its foundational struggles and demands, recovering some theoretical-political experiences such as Lélia Gonzalez and Sueli Carneiro, Afro-Brazilian intellectuals and activists. In a second moment, we propose to carry out a political critique of the neutralization and uncritical expansion of intersectionality, as well as the processes of epistemic injustice that make ideas and theories visible in an asymmetric way according to specific locations. From our perspective, recovering and re-signifying the experiences of local struggles and resistance led by those women who are located on the margins of hegemonic white feminism allows not only to question the foundations of modern Western knowledge proposed by a female subject with claims of universality, but also which in turn, enables new ways for the construction of knowledge taking as a starting point the experiences of the subjects themselves and carrying out a critical epistemology that contributes towards the emancipatory processes of our region. Likewise, we argue that locating the origins of intersectionality in these activism experiences allows it to recover its power as a political tool.
