Abstract
Il concetto introdotto dalla teorica femminista Kimberle Crenshaw, noto come “intersezionalità”, si è imposto nell’identificare e criticare i livelli di discriminazione esperiti dagli individui in base alle loro identità sociali, politiche ed economiche sovrapposte. È attraverso questo discorso intersettoriale che si può cominciare a comprendere i livelli di discriminazione e disuguaglianza che si sviluppano e che, a loro volta, vengono rafforzati dal modello politico liberale che domina la politica americana. Allo stesso modo, i problemi socioeconomici contemporanei
all’interno degli Stati Uniti sono stati evidenziati sviluppando movimenti socialisti all’interno del paese, particolarmente a partire dallo storico oppositore del liberalismo, il marxismo. È possibile che i marxisti possano cooperare ideologicamente e praticamente con gli “intersezionalisti” per affrontare le questioni socioeconomiche contemporanee negli Stati Uniti?
Questo saggio cerca di rispondere a questa domanda per mezzo di un confronto puntuale tra la teoria politico-economica marxista contemporanea e il pensiero intersezionale.
A concept introduced by feminist theorist Kimberle Crenshaw known as “Intersectionality” has emerged, identifying and critiquing compounded levels of discrimination experienced by individuals based on their overlapping social, political, and economic identities. It is through this Intersectional discourse that one can begin to comprehend the levels of discrimination and inequality that is born and in turn reinforced by the Liberal political model that dominates U.S. politics. Likewise, contemporary socioeconomic problems within the U.S. have been highlighted by developing socialist movements within the country, particularly by the
historic opponent of Liberalism, Marxism. Is it possible that Marxists can cooperate ideologically and practically with Intersectionalists in order to address contemporary socioeconomic issues within the U.S.? This paper seeks to answer this question through a side by side comparison
of contemporary Marxist political and economic theory with Intersectional thought.
