Title: Doing Differences. Race, Gender and Class through Ethnography
Abstract: This paper is based on an approach that considers reality as always intersected. It also analyses the articulation of class, race and gender as a situated and ongoing interactional accomplishment. It integrates the critics directed toward the notion of intersectionality to show how ethnography helps to examine the situated and ongoing interactions of class, race and gender. First, it examines the contributions of the main writings that have promoted an ethnographical analysis of this articulation. Secondly, drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, it shows how ethnography expands the study of the articulation of race, class and gender by analyzing it in a more complex way. Thirdly, addressing the theorizations based on an ethnographic approach, it demonstrates how the circulation of theoretical tools from law to anthropology shifts the perspectives on intersectionality, which becomes an object of study rather than a method.
