Interseccionalidade como ferramenta teórico-metodológica

Abstract

This study looks at intersectionality as a theoretical-methodological tool based on the epistemology of black feminist thought. This perspective promotes the deconstruction of oppressive intersectional practices, validating the experiences of black women as legitimate forms of knowledge. The research adopts a bibliographical review, based on texts such as those by Patrícia Collins and Sirma Bilge (2020), Carla Akotirene (2019), Kimberlé Crenshaw (1991), Leslie McCall (2005) and Baukje Prins (2006). This analysis made it possible to critically examine the theoretical foundations and methodological applications of intersectionality, highlighting its contributions to the analysis of the conditions of historically marginalized groups. The literature review shows that this tool transcends the conceptual sphere and is essential for analyzing the historical and structural conditions that shape the experiences of black women and other marginalized groups. Its application highlights the importance of integrating research practices that promote social justice and structural transformation.
