Abstract

The article focuses on the temporal and epistemic economy connected to the transatlantic travels of the categorical triad of 'race-class-gender'. It looks at conditions and forces that have fuelled the dynamics of the discourse on differences and inequality among women and analyses feminist discourse and its aporias as a particular environment for the travels of theories. Furthermore, it follows the changes the triad of 'race-class-gender' undergoes on its transatlantic route from the United States to a German-speaking context and it outlines the theoretical challenges connected to an intersectional perspective that aims to overcome a theoretical stagnation that itself finds symptomatic expression in the ritual citing of 'race-class-gender'.
