This seminar uses the intersectionality approach to deal with the entanglement of different dimensions of social inequality in contemporary Brazil. Brazilian society developed out of a sequence of regional and transcontinental forms of (forced) migration, which has consequences for the current constitution of social groups that are assigned to different 'race' or 'class' categories. At the same time, these categories find different applications in dealing with gender diversity. Using current anthropological case studies, mostly in English language, we will deal with a wide range of topics, such as the Afro-Brazilian religions, the urban protest culture, quota regulations in the Brazilian education system, the position of houseworkers, beauty concepts, as well as Brazilian networks of sex-workers, with regard to the question, how inequalities are perceived, named and classified. This way, we will also develop an expanded approach to the intersectionality approach that goes beyond a narrow perspective on race, class, and gender.Dates
