Compartmentalizing Intersectionality: Feminist Translations in Anti-Racist and Anti-Rape Activism in Japan
本文通过日本反种族主义运动和反强奸联盟两个案例,提出“分割交叉性”概念,描述社会运动如何在议程中优先或弱化某些社会议题,以应对多重不平等,为跨国视角下的交叉性理论与实践提供新见解。
Feminists scholars based in the United States have long struggled with applying intersectionality to a transnational lens. This article explores intersectionality’s translations, drawing on two cases in Japan: the first, an anti-racism movement, and the second, a coalitional anti-rape campaign. We offer the concept of compartmentalizing intersectionality to describe the practices of prioritizing and deprioritizing certain social issues within social movement agendas, as they maneuver how to recognize multiple vectors of inequality. By providing insights into the structural and logistical constraints underpinning multidimensional social justice strategies, our article contributes to a richer understanding of intersectionality in theory and praxis at the transnational scale.
