在一个全球化的世界,女人和男人并不是可以简单加以比较的同质性类别,他们之间有国家忠诚、社会阶级地位、种族族群身份以及性别的区分。每个个体拥有不止一种地位,而且这些地位相互交叉并相互影响。当多种地位并存于弱势群体中时,这种多重弱势地位的交叉结果便产生了复杂的不平等。复杂的不平等现象是这些多重身份互相渗透的结果。女性主义学者必须能够运用多重分类法和多重身份来审视复杂不平等现象的产生原因并寻求解决之道。对交叉性和多重身份进行研究不仅能够为女性主义研究提供丰富的数据,而且也为女权主义的政治行动提供丰富的数据。多重控制、多种地位冲突以及权力变更的经验是不断变化的世界观和政治议程的重要来源。多元且多重交叉的观察视角不仅是知识的来源,而且也是有效的跨国女权主义政治行动的来源。
<<In a globalized world,women and men are not homogeneous categories that can be used for simple comparisons. They are divided by national allegiances,social class statuses,and racial ethnic identities as well as by gender. Individuals have more than one status,and these statuses intersect and impact on each other. When some or all of these statuses are in disadvantaged groups,the result of this intersectionality of disadvantaged statuses is complex inequality. Complex inequality is the outcome of these multiple identities and their interpenetration. Feminist scholarship has to be able to work with multiple categories and multiple identities in examining the causes of and remedies for complex inequality. Research on intersecting and multiple identities can provide rich data,not only for feminist research,but for feminist political activism. The experiences of multiple domination,of status conflicts,of shifting degrees of power and powerlessness are vital sources of varied worldviews and political agendas. Diverse and intersecting perspectives are both a source of knowledge and a source of effective transnational feminist political activism.
