This course-seminar introduces the notion of intersectionality as an analytical methodology. The aim is to approach it through the axis of social race and its intersection with other social identities such as gender, class, etc., and to highlight the way in which they (inter)act and their impact on social and political minorities within structures of domination.
The course is structured around the reading and analysis of a variety of materials (texts, documentaries, films, podcasts, etc.) and discussions, inviting students to reflect (self) reflectively on the notion of positionality in their practice.
The languages of instruction and discussion are French and English. Students should be able to navigate in both languages. It is not necessary to be perfectly bilingual.
