Description
Summary:Current political movements have raised the issue of the problematic diversity of forms of domination and oppression, as well as strategies to counter them, as in the way black feminism has signaled the importance of intersectionality. This questioning has also reached Brazilian anarchism in an effort to combat inequalities within the organization of the movement itself. This endeavor can exacerbate internal conflicts, when factors such as race, class, gender, sexual orientation, age and other markers of difference are called into question. In situations of mutual support across different perspectives, methods of conflict attenuation are used to decrease antagonism. That is the (strange) case of astrology, which some anarchists have deployed informally to reduce tensions within the collective force.
