Abstract

Abstract:In this article we examine how intersectional vulnerabilities are experienced and made sense of by women of color activists in Europe. We name intersectional vulnerabilities as a broad, sometimes contradictory, set of emotions, all tied to activists’ complex experiences of insecurity and community. Intersectional vulnerabilities are those risks and rewards, derived from women of color activists’ positioning in relation to race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and legal status, which shape the possibilities of women of color’s activist labor. These vulnerabilities are Janus-faced, in that they are experienced as social harms that oftentimes lead to community. Our article grapples with the bittersweetness of vulnerability and how the banality of harms meted out to women of color nevertheless contains the seeds of resistance, solidarity, and self-love.

交叉脆弱性和伤害的平庸性:有色人种女性激进分子的危险欲望
摘要:在这篇文章中,我们研究了欧洲有色人种女性活动家是如何经历和理解交叉脆弱性的。我们将交叉脆弱性称为一系列广泛的、有时是矛盾的情绪,所有这些情绪都与活动家的不安全感和社区的复杂经历有关。跨部门脆弱性是指有色人种女性活动家在种族、阶级、性别、性取向、残疾和法律地位方面的定位所带来的风险和回报,这些风险和回报塑造了有色人种女性维权劳动的可能性。这些脆弱性是Janus面临的,因为它们被视为经常导致社区的社会危害。我们的文章探讨了脆弱的苦乐参半,以及对有色人种女性的平庸伤害是如何包含抵抗、团结和自爱的种子的。
