Não é sobre identidade: uma autoetnografia interseccional

Abstract

The master’s thesis that I present to the Graduate Program in Political Sociology of the University Vila Velha (UVV) adopted autoethnography as a research method, articulated with an analysis conducted by the sociological perspectives of intersectionalities, aiming to problematize about the different situations I faced throughout my life, which were marked by prejudices involving issues of class, gender, sexuality, race among others. It is important to note that the research was strongly inspired by authors such as Didier Eribon, Annie Ernaux and Édouard Louis in the preparation of the first chapter entitled "Autoetnographic memories", in which stories from my past, that are gradually described and analyzed, as well as was also decisive for the elaboration of the fourth chapter. In the second chapter, entitled "An intersectional autoethnography", I present a literature review on the autoethnographic method and intersectional analysis. In the third chapter, "Tecnoconservatism and intersectional criticism", I debated with some of its critics, proposing an analysis from a black feminist perspective anchored in Maria Aparecida da Silva Bento, to, in the final chapter, "It’s not about identity, it’s about experiences", develop a critical analysis about the use of identity and identitarianism as forms of disqualification of historical struggles of subordinate groups.
