Intersectionality has questioned the unity of the “we women” as a collective subject of feminist politics in different socio-political contexts. The call for a focus on intersectionality has led to conflict and tensions, fragmented communities, and intense debates. At the same time, it has pushed for the need to transform civil society organizations and social movements practices in more inclusive, democratic, and coherent ways. Intersectional politics have not only transformed political practices. They have also deeply affected the subjectivities of actors within feminist organizations and movements, that is, their forms and modalities of their relation to the self in moral and emotional terms. This sense of self should not be understood as a self-centered construction, but in relation to material and symbolic boundaries of political communities based on feminist ethics of care and responsibility. The panel gathers contributions from the academic fields of sociology, anthropology and political science about intersectional and transnational contexts that bring together European and Latin American feminist subjects, including majoritized and minoritized feminist activists in Catalunya, Colombian women in exile in Europe, female migrant workers in Barcelona and professional NGO feminists in Colombia and Spain. We aim to explore questions related to the production of subjectivities in the context of intersectional power relations: how are subjectivities (re)produced in the context of power relations between dominant and marginalized groups within civil society organizations and social movements? What role do morality, ethics and emotions play in this production of feminist subjects? What type of feminist communities do feminist subjects develop in the context of intersectional power relations?
