Este estudio pretende comprender las experiencias educativas de las personas afrolatinas que viven en España a través del lente de la antinegritud. Así, se abordan las experiencias educativas como situaciones privilegiadas desde las que entender la función de la antinegritud y su relación con la conformación de identidades de género y sexualidad para las personas afrolatinas en España. Se diseñó una metodología de corte cualitativo en la que interactuaron tres elementos centrales: entrevistas semiestructuradas a personas de origen afro-latino que habitan o habitaron el estado español y sus instituciones educativas, análisis documental y relatos asociados a la propia experiencia de las personas que componemos el equipo de investigación. La aproximación propuesta ha permitido concluir que las experiencias educativas de las personas afrolatinas hacen parte del sistema social de construcción de las diferencias sexo-genéricas que alimentan relatos y estructuras antinegras en España.
This essay connects the notions of body/territory and intersectionality in analysing street artivism during the Chilean uprising of 2019. Two vignettes are used to illustrate how conceptually the notion of body/territory reflects experiences of inequality (based on gender, class and nationality) as part of the violence exercised upon the territories where these experiences unfold. Methodologically, the lens of body/territory enables reading street artivism both as an aesthetic expression of protest and as a mechanism to reveal the intersectional character of how inequality is experienced by bodies in territories. The paper shows that the body/territory imaginary affords a spatial character to intersectionality, which in turn strengthens public spaces’ democratic potential.
This article combines autoethnography, history and geography to explain the intersectional discriminatory logics behind the planning of Ciudad Universitaria, the modernist campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City, from 1947 to the present. The theoretical tools of intersectionality, Michel Foucault’s concept of disciplinary spaces, the phenomenology of discrimination, and Milton Santos’s concept of rugosidade are deployed to demonstrate how the spaces of CU were designed to accommodate some users and to exclude others, as seen in the organization of its facilities, roads, borders and public transportation network. Therefore, this public space can be relatively functional for some, but is openly dangerous for others, according to their intersectional characteristics: class, gender, and mobility.
Cali’s economic prosperity contrasts with social inequality. This is evident in selfbuilt neighborhoods where internally displaced persons, ethnic minorities, and other marginalized groups face overlapping oppressions. This article addresses the case of District 18 where an intersectional approach was used to reveal power dynamics that shape public spaces. Through the analysis of spatial contestation, forms of discrimination and temporal geographies of exclusion, we demonstrate how intersectionality allows to move from theory to practice in neighborhood upgrading. This experience offers insights on how social categories interact with spatial and temporal dimensions to reproduce social hierarchies in public spaces.
