To Tell the Truth and Not Get Trapped: Desire, Distance, and Intersectionality at the Scene of Argument.
Intersectionality has become a key concept for social justice advocates and socially conscious scholars in feminist studies, critical race studies, queer studies, sociology, and many other fields. Yet prevailing conventions and habits of argument in scholarship and social life have led to distorted...

Yet prevailing conventions and habits of argument in scholarship and social life have led to distorted and destructive critiques of intersectionality that are damaging to feminist antisubordination scholarship and activism. These actions at the scene of argument constitute an academic feminist public through articulations that serve as socializing pedagogies. This article examines four rhetorical frameworks and two accompanying tropes that interpellate feminist subjects in ways that are destructive to antisubordination struggles. They allow hegemonic logic to masquerade as radical critique. Feminists cannot escape the use of patterned language, claims, and arguments, but we can insist on looking more closely at the scene of argument in order to determine how conventionalized framing rhetorics and tropes serve us badly when they are presented as convincing rhetorical moves that gain purchase by undermining radical critique. The scene of argument is a terrain laden with traps but also a shared social resource for which we are all responsible. Transforming the terms of reading and writing at the scene of argument can help us tell the truth and not get trapped. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
