 | Intersectionality and Beyond: Law, Power and the Politics of Location Subjects: Humanities; Law; Politics & International Relations; Social Sciences; Jurisprudence & General Issues; Socio-Legal Studies; Political Theory; Cultural Studies; Sociology & Social Policy; Cultural Theory; Gender Studies; Race & Ethnic Studies; This collection addresses the present and the future of the concept of intersectionality within socio-legal studies. Intersectionality provides a metaphorical schema for understanding the interaction of different forms of disadvantage, including race, sexuality, and gender. But it also goes further to provide a particular model of how these aspects of social identity and location converge - whether at the level of subjectivity, everyday life, in culture or in the institutional practices of state and other bodies. Including contributions from a range of international scholars, this book interrogates what has become a key organizing concept across a range of disciplines, most particularly law, political theory, and cultural studies. |
