Resumo: This article presents a brief review of the debates concerning the concept of intersectionality among various approaches of the contemporary feminist thought, the women’s studies and the gender theories. Based on the initial contributions of the “Black Feminisms”, this text aims to propose a panorama of the emergent context of the intersectional debate and its main strands of work in the US and UK. Grounded in a literature review of dozens of recent articles, essays and books published in the US and Europe, this text seeks to offer a “summarization” of some of the major contributions that the intersectional analysis has offered to the feminist thought and the social theory as a whole, as well as to propose the notion of “intersectional agency”. Finally, the text presents some critical considerations regarding certain characteristics that cross the field and that are still generating some important questions.

Partindo das contribuições dos “black feminisms”, apresenta algumas visões sobre o contexto de formação do debate interseccional nos Estados Unidos e no Reino Unido e a seguir estabelece as principais vertentes de trabalho atualmente. Embasado em um levantamento bibliográfico de dezenas de artigos, ensaios e livros publicados nos últimos anos nos EUA e na Europa, este texto procura contribuir com uma “sumarização” de algumas das principais contribuições que a análise interseccional tem oferecido ao pensamento feminista e à teoria social como um todo, assim como propor a noção de “agência interseccional”. Por fim, são apresentadas algumas considerações críticas a determinadas características que atravessam o campo e que geram questionamentos ainda em aberto.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2015-12-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão Teórica Críticaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/2290010.5433/2176-6665.2015v20n2p97Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 20 No. 2 (2015); 97-128Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2015); 97-128Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 20 n. 2 (2015); 97-1282176-66651414-0543reponame:Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/22900/pdf%27Copyright (c) 2015 Carlos Eduardo Henninginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHenning, Carlos Eduardo2022-04-26T12:09:30Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/22900Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/indexPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/oaimediacoes@uel.br2176-66652176-6665opendoar:2023-01-13T10:38:02.920264Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
