This project addresses meaning construction in social movements on the transnational level, its impacts on movements’ strategies, and the influences of national and international political contexts in this process. It intends to comprehend the multiple interconnections of domestic and global contexts in daily transnational activist practices, concentrating on framing processes. From an interdisciplinary perspective that includes discussions from political science, political sociology, and political anthropology, it will investigate the mobilizations of “intersectionality” in advocacy within international organizations, with special attention to the production of an intersectional frame that encompasses, produces, and disputes meanings of “intersectionality.”The empirical analysis will be concentrated on the founding and the actions of the Afro LGBTI Network of Latin America and the Caribbean, with special attention to the political trajectories of the activists that idealized the network, the political trajectories of the national organizations of which the activists are members, their advocacy in the Organization of the American States (OAS) and their actions in their home country. Created in 2017 in Colombia, the network is composed of organizations from the following countries: the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Cuba and the United States. The network focuses its advocacy actions at the Organization of the American States (OAS).The perspective is interdisciplinary and includes discussions from political science, political sociology, and political anthropology. The methods are qualitative, congregating in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentary analysis.
