Black feminist theory and theorizations by feminists of colour have identified and explored emotions linked to race and racism in feminist movements, especially in the US context. Building on this literature, this article explores the changes in feminist emotional dynamics linked to race which have been brought up by the relatively recent adoption of intersectionality in feminist movements’ discourses in two European countries, France and Switzerland, which are both often described as ‘colour-blind’ contexts. Drawing on Hochschild’s concept of feeling rules, we argue that intersectionality has changed the ways feminists are legitimately expected to feel about race and racism within feminist movements in both contexts. As feeling rules vary according to the members’ positions within the movement, we contend that these changes in emotional dynamics contribute to redefine feminists’ relations and feminist membership along racial lines. Based on interviews with young feminist activists in France and Switzerland during mobilization processes characterized by a prominent use of intersectionality, we observe how intersectionality discourses bring about new feeling rules in relation to race and racism. These feeling rules differ for white and non-white feminists: while intersectionality has led young white feminists to self-education and self-critique, racialized feminists often expressed mixed feelings about intersectionality and its use, in particular by white feminists. Importantly, these changes in feeling rules have allowed racialized feminists to renegotiate their relations with white feminists and their emotional content, as well as their position within the movement.

交叉性作为年轻女权主义者的新感觉规则:法国和瑞士的种族和女权主义关系

黑人女权主义理论和有色人种女权主义者的理论已经确定并探索了与女权主义运动中的种族和种族主义相关的情绪,尤其是在美国背景下。在这些文献的基础上,本文探讨了与种族相关的女权主义情感动态的变化,这些变化是由于最近在法国和瑞士这两个欧洲国家的女权主义运动话语中采用交叉性而引起的,这两个国家通常被描述为“色盲”语境。借鉴 Hochschild 的感觉规则概念,我们认为交叉性已经改变了女权主义者在两种情况下对女权主义运动中的种族和种族主义的合理预期方式。由于感觉规则因成员在运动中的位置而异,我们认为,情绪动态的这些变化有助于按照种族重新定义女权主义者的关系和女权主义者的成员资格。基于在以突出使用交叉性为特征的动员过程中对法国和瑞士的年轻女权主义活动家的采访,我们观察了交叉性话语如何带来与种族和种族主义相关的新感觉规则。这些感觉规则对于白人和非白人女权主义者来说是不同的:虽然交叉性导致年轻的白人女权主义者进行自我教育和自我批评,但种族化的女权主义者经常对交叉性及其使用表达复杂的感情,尤其是白人女权主义者。重要的是,情感规则的这些变化允许种族女权主义者重新谈判与白人女权主义者的关系及其情感内容,
