I N THE PREVIOUS chapter, I ‘named’ patriarchy as a multifaceted, interconnected and self-reinforcing system that generally privileges men’s perceptions and interests but which is also entangled with other forms of structural power and inequality. In this chapter, I agree with those who use the term ‘intersectionality’, first developed by black feminists in the US, to address such entanglements and place the most oppressed and disadvantaged women at the heart of feminist analysis. In line with the socialist feminist approach that I develop in this book, I also
colour, Pose is the first mainstream US TV series of its kind. Behind the camera, the show boasts the largest cast and writing team of trans artists in series regular roles. The TV series displays a bold creative approach which showcases the creativity of its cast and the communities it depicts, without detracting from the reality of daily intersectional oppression. One way the show achieves this is through the use of dream

healthcare and comorbidities’. Intersectionality, Social Determinants and COVID-19 To achieve DfID’s vision and measure impact effectively, the document urges NGOs to advocate for and create programmes to ‘address structural conditions and root causes’ of mental ill-health. Yet, the ToC self-admittedly only ‘touches on’ how mental health is inextricably linked to other developmental goals – regrettable, given its clear intersectionality
. Reflecting on the presence of these ten misconceptions, we believe some important steps should be taken to ensure that future work does not produce unintended harms. First, providing survivors with the appropriate assistance and support requires an analysis of survivors’ experiences that is driven by survivors, on their own terms, using their own frameworks and in their own language. Second, this analysis should be intersectional and attentive to gender and the other structures of power
. In these spaces, the intersectional threats – that is, compounding and distinctive forms of marginalisation and risk 2 – faced by non-white (especially local) staff, those of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) or those with disabilities are often not factored in. Conversely, threats to (white) women staff are cast as a kind of ‘stranger danger’ – emanating from non-white locals and militant actors rather than
thirties, forties and fifties, and have between four and eight children. Unlike younger mothers in their teens and twenties who live under the authority of their mothers-in-law and face intense reproductive coercion, older women like Marwa have often increased in social status inside their families since they arrived in Jordan. This article explores the intersections of generational and gender dynamics with humanitarian governance in Jordan that together cause shifts in the
As this essay notes, James Baldwin, his words and metaphors, pervade public space at countless numbers of intersections. Lines from his plays, novels, and essays have always been an easy and handy reference for writers and artists seeking ways to ground their intentions with deeper meaning and magic. Even in a minority opinion on 22 June 2016 written by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, she cited several authors, including Baldwin, to underscore her point on the Court’s abrogation of the Fourth Amendment.
This essay positions the drug-using doctor at the intersection between traditional Gothic horror and a new fin-de-siècle medical realism, embedding the cultural anxieties at the fin de siècle in relation to the ethical and theological boundaries of scientific knowledge. The objective is to provide a framework for reading and interpreting the medico-gothic narrative of addiction. The essay examines the writings of three pioneering physician-scientists: one historical – Sigmund Freud – and two fictional – Dr Jekyll, in Robert Louis Stevenson‘s Strange Case of DrJekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), and Dr Seward in Bram Stoker‘s Dracula (1897).
The lesbian community of colour in America has been largely overlooked amidst the current popular culture mania for all things vampiric. Yet the complex ambiguity of the lesbian vampire very readily lends itself to women of colour, who frequently explore in their gothic fiction the intersections of gender, sexuality, race, class, assimilation, and the transgressive significance of the vampire myth. This essay discusses two works by African-American Jewelle Gomez and Chicana- American Terri de la Pena as lesbian Gothic romantic fiction, as feminist affirmation, and as prescriptive, community-building activist discourse.
