Abstract

While it is true that there have been and continues to be multiple ways in which intersectional feminist agendas are invisibilized, it is equally important to foreground ways in which intersectional feminists affirm themselves as transformatory agents and create new directions in practice and pedagogy. This article will engage with three legal moments of intersectional feminist transformation: legislation on transgender persons (2019), an intersectional political mobilization against (contested) legislation on citizenship (2019–2020), and responses to a gang-rape on women from dalit community (2020). This article analyzes legislation, interprets posters and interviews given by participants in the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act mobilizations, and uses newspaper archives to understand a narrative of invisibility. In conclusion, the article proposes ways that feminist assessments of intersectional political moments can provide a more holistic pedagogical practice in the teaching of intersectional feminisms.

交叉性女权主义行动与转型实践:来自印度女权主义的视角

虽然确实存在并将继续存在多种方式使交叉女权主义议程隐形，但同样重要的是，交叉女权主义者肯定自己是变革的推动者，并在实践和教学中创造新的方向。本文将探讨交叉女权主义转型的三个法律时刻:关于跨性别者的立法(2019)，反对(有争议的)公民身份立法的交叉政治动员(2019 - 2020)，以及对达利特社区妇女轮奸案的回应(2020)。本文分析立法，解读反公民修正案动员参与者的海报和访谈，并利用报纸档案来理解隐形叙事。综上所述，本文提出了交叉政治时刻的女权主义评估方法，可以为交叉女权主义的教学提供更全面的教学实践。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
