交叉性的概念化是对女权主义最重要的贡献之一，因为它允许将多重和交叉的压迫理论化。这有助于对社会关系和权力结构的更复杂和动态的理解，它承认类别之间的差异，但没有方法论方向。我试图将这场辩论向前推进一步，通过开发我所谓的“浮雕地图”：一种收集、分析和显示交叉数据的新方法。我认为浮雕地图是研究交叉性地理学的一个可靠工具，因为它们展示了三个维度之间的关系：权力结构（社会）、生活经验（心理）和地点（地理）。通过展示其中的一些例子，我展示了Relief Maps如何使交叉性的实证工作成为可能，以及它们如何能够在不以固定和僵化的方式使用类别的情况下考虑特权和压迫。他们将空间维度作为分析的中心部分，展示了权力结构之间的关系如何随地点而变化，也说明了主体形成如何在日常空间中完成和取消。《救济地图》旨在挖掘交叉性的潜力，并将其局限性最小化：他们打算打破同质的分类，同时指出压迫的物质后果。最后，Relief Maps还提供了一些关于交叉性本身的见解，因为它们有助于思考权力结构如何相互关联，以及经验和地点在这些过程中所起的作用。
The conceptualisation of intersectionality has been one of the most important contributions to feminism, as it allows for theorisation about multiple and intersecting oppressions. This contributes to a more complex and dynamic understanding of social relations and power structures, and it acknowledges the differences between categories, but it has no methodological direction. I try to take this debate a step forward, by developing what I have called Relief Maps: a new way of collecting, analysing and displaying intersectional data. I consider Relief Maps to be a sound tool for studying the Geographies of Intersectionality, as they show the relationship between three dimensions: power structures (the social), lived experience (the psychological) and places (the geographical). By showing some examples of them, I demonstrate how Relief Maps make empirical work on intersectionality possible and how they are able to take into account both privilege and oppression without using categories in a fixed and rigid way. Taking the spatial dimension as a central part of the analysis, they show how the relationship between power structures varies depending on places and also illustrate how subject formations are done and undone through everyday spaces. Relief Maps aim to take the potentialities of intersectionality and minimise its limitations: they intend to disrupt homogeneous categories while pointing towards the material consequences of oppression. Finally, Relief Maps also provide some insights on intersectionality itself, as they help to think about how power structures relate to each other and the role that experience and place play in these processes.
