BOTTICI, Chiara. Bodies in plural: towards an anarchafeminist manifesto . Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.1, pp. 299-324. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2020v26n1p290-316.

In the last few years, it has become a common place to state that domination takes place through a multiplicity of axes, where gender, class, race, and sexuality intersect with one another. While a lot of insightful empirical studies have been developed based on intersectionality, they are rarely linked to the anarchist tradition that preceded them. In this article, I would like to approach this point showing the usefulness but also the limits of the notion of intersectionality, so as to understand the mechanisms of domination and then debate on the need of an anarchafeminist research program. Secondly, I will try to provide the philosophical framework for such an enterprise by arguing that it is in a Spinozist ontology of the transindividual that we can best find the conceptual resources for thinking about the plural nature of women’s bodies and thus of their oppression. This will allow me to attempt to approach the issue “what it means to be a woman” in pluralistic terms and thus also defend a specifically feminist form of anarchism. Finally, I will go back to the anarchafeminist tradition in order to demonstrate why, nowadays, it is the best possible ally of feminism in the pursuit of a critical theory of society.
