Feminist scholars have increasingly expressed their worries about the depoliticization of intersectionality since it has travelled from its point of origin in US Black feminist theory to the shores of Europe. They have argued that the subject for which the theory was intended has been displaced, that Black feminists have been excluded from the discussion, and that white European feminists have usurped all the credit for intersectionality as theory. Intersectionality has been transformed into a product of the neoliberal academy rather than the helpmeet for social justice it was meant to be. This article explores three of the bones of contention in these debates about intersectionality and its travels. The author argues that they rest on notions of ownership that, while understandable, are untenable and, ultimately, counterproductive. A case will be made for taking a less proprietary stance toward critical theories and instead treating the travels of intersectionality as an occasion for dialogue rather than a contest over ownership.

谁拥有交叉性?关于理论如何传播的女权主义辩论的一些思考

自从交叉性从美国黑人女权主义理论的起源点传播到欧洲海岸以来,女权主义学者越来越多地表达了他们对交叉性去政治化的担忧。他们争辩说,该理论所针对的主题已经被取代,黑人女权主义者被排除在讨论之外,欧洲白人女权主义者篡夺了交叉性作为理论的所有荣誉。交叉性已经变成了新自由主义学院的产物,而不是它本来应该成为的社会正义的帮助会议。本文探讨了这些关于交叉性及其传播的争论中的三个争论点。作者认为,它们基于所有权的概念,虽然可以理解,但站不住脚,最终会适得其反。
