Coexisting inequalities and other pitfalls of the debate on Intersectionality.

Helma Lutz, Frankfurt am Main

22. Jan.2009, 10.30 Uhr, Campus Westend, Raum 1.801, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main.

This introductory lecture will look at some of the main arguments which are used in the feminist debate in favour or against intersectionality. I will try to clarify why the concept has been embraced by certain scholars and rejected or heavily challenged by others. While intersectionality has made a ‘brilliant career ‘ in the Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian discussions, it was and is met by much more reservation in the German Gender Studies debate. While I share some of the scepticism of my German colleagues, I am also a pronounced advocate of Intersectionality. Looking at advantages and disadvantages I will sketch the high potential of the concept not only for the further development of Gender Studies but also for those studying social inequalities in various national and transnational contexts.
