| Riassunto: | This article examines ordinary uses of intersectionality in antiracist Lesbian, Gay, Trans, Bi and Queer (LGBTQ) activist networks in Marseille. Analysis of the first empirical data gleaned from the ethnographic exploration of these activist circles shows the dissemination of an intersectional interpretation grid. More precisely, by focusing on interviews of Awa and Ngozi, two self-identified black and queer women in their twenties, this article reveals how they have taken ownership of political and academic categories that give meaning to their personal trajectory shaped by processes of racialization and heterosexist dynamics. As these ideas travel, new connections are also made with individuals sharing similar experiences. |
