ABSTRACT This article discusses how debates regarding intersectionality enable self-reflexitivity, positionality and critique, but also risk becoming routinized gestures in activist and academic settings. Through reflections on the notions of epistemic habits and epistemic whiteness, the article discusses key critiques of intersectional analysis, such as tendencies to re-centre whiteness, as a methodological concern. To illuminate the argument, I consider an example from a research project a colleague and I conducted on racialization and homonationalism in LGBTIQ activist work in a Finnish context, which brought up the question of whether our analysis reinforced or challenged whiteness. The aim of this article is to reflect on how intersectionality is a crucial concept for feminist knowledge production while also attending to and problematizing some presuppositions, that are routinely repeated as self-evident starting points in intersectionality research.

对我们自己的批评?北欧语境下的种族化和同民族主义研究中的交叉性和“认知习惯”

摘要本文讨论了有关交叉性的辩论如何实现自我反身性,定位性和批判性,同时也有可能在激进主义者和学术界成为例行的手势。通过反思认知习惯和认知白度的概念,本文讨论了交叉分析的关键批判,例如重新关注以白度为中心的方法论。为了阐明这一论点,我以一个同事的研究项目为例,我在芬兰的背景下对LGBTIQ维权主义者的工作中的种族化和同族主义进行了研究,这提出了一个问题,即我们的分析是强化还是挑战了白度。
