POJAM INTERSEKCIONALNOG FEMINIZMA KOD JUDITH BUTLER / THE CONCEPT OF INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISM AS VIEWED BY JUDITH BUTLER

Abstract

This paper is focused on the concept of intersectional feminism in the context of Judith Butler's philosophy. Although this theoretical standpoint promotes an inclusive approach to the questions and issues faced by contemporary feminism, its influence has been diminished by the burden of traditional feminist legacies. The purpose of this paper is to compare the problematics of intersectional feminism and the definition of female identity in its root American political context considering race and Butler's views of the political subject of power concerning gender. The paper also puts forward Butler's critique of the concept of universality, which usually asserts a definition about the breadth of action and the political subject of power, and concludes an area of values that
can often endanger one's life.
