交叉性一词指的是种族、阶级、性别、性取向、民族、国家、能力和年龄不是作为单一的、相互排斥的实体，而是作为一种相互建构的现象。尽管有这一普遍共识，但什么是交叉性的定义还很不明确。在这篇文章中，我分析交叉性作为一个知识项目，其存在的理由在于它的关注权力关系和社会不平等。我研究三个相互依存的问题：（a）交叉性作为一个研究领域，是位于权力关系，它研究;（B）交叉性作为一种分析战略，提供了新的视角对社会现象;（c）交叉性作为关键的实践，通知社会正义项目。
The term intersectionality references the critical insight that race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, ability, and age operate not as unitary, mutually exclusive entities, but rather as reciprocally constructing phenomena. Despite this general consensus, definitions ofwhat counts as intersectionality are far from clear. In this article, I analyze intersectionality as a knowledge project whose raison d'etre lies in its attentiveness to power relations and social inequalities. I examine three interdependent sets of concerns: (a) intersectionality as a field of study that is situated within the power relations that it studies; (b) intersectionality as an analytical strategy that provides new angles of vision on social phenomena; and (c) intersectionality as critical praxis that informs social justice projects.
