Bem mais que ideias: A interseccionalidade como teoria social crítica

Rate this book
Após a consolidação da interseccionalidade como campo de investigação, é necessário que o conceito se torne uma teoria social crítica capaz de abordar problemas sociais contemporâneos e apontar as mudanças necessárias para solucioná-los. Em Bem mais que ideias, a socióloga Patricia Hill Collins apresenta um conjunto de ferramentas analíticas para impulsionar essa mudança. Dividida em quatro partes, a obra busca fornecer ferramentas conceituais para a construção teórica da interseccionalidade, o que inclui um vocabulário básico para trazer uma gama de agentes sociais para a mesa da construção teórica e a noção do que são interseccionalidade e teoria social crítica. Em seguida, o livro diz como o poder epistêmico afeta os limites e a possibilidade da resistência intelectual. A ação social é então mostrada como aspecto importante da teorização da interseccionalidade. Por último, é abordada a relacionalidade como tema central dentro da interseccionalidade e seu compromisso com a justiça social. Algo que, na visão da autora, precisa ser construído.

Amazing work that needs to be shared. The writing is very accessible to almost anyone. This is a permanent fix on my bookshelf from now and after I receive my PhD.

An extremely well written and structured book, inciting critical questions and directions for intersectionality as a social theory, analytic, methodology and ethical approach.
Building on more than 30 years advancing Black feminist thought, Patricia Hill Collins sets up a new level of engaged debate, with rich tools and complex elements, for the social sciences and humanities. Not restricted to academic fields, the book shows how and why intersectionality is a key framework to further studies and emancipatory projects on / for social justice.

Super helpful, it explained a lot of things I've kind of struggled to figure out for years. And PHC has such clarity of expression that, while the ideas themselves are very dense and chewy, the prose was like biting into a crisp, refreshing apple.

un manuale di studio che si pone il difficile compito di spiegare cos'è oggi (e come si è evoluta) l'intersezionalità e, soprattutto, dove può (e deve) pensare di andare.
Molto interessante, spiegato in modo abbastanza chiaro per chi già mastica qualcosa di teorie sociali è senz'altro un manuale che può aprire una discussione.

This is one of the best books I have actually ever read. This might be biased because it's definitely one of the most difficult books I have ever read but it was extremely comprehensive and made this concept so clear.

Excellent. Very informative. After reading this book, you will not use the word intersectionality as an empty word to fill the silence again.

I love Collins's scholarship and thinking. This was a BIG LIFT for me to read. I'll have to revisit it.

Excellent searching, thought-provoking read. I was back and forth between 4 and 5 stars, finally landing on 4 simply because I didn’t necessarily have any paradigm-shifting aha! Moments reading it as I have with other texts in this vein. But I think that’s probably a function of me needing to sit with the text a bit longer. Will be re-reading and is already informing my dissertation work.
