"In the German speaking area, debates on Intersectionality' constitute one of the most interesting research areas in contemporary women and gender studier. In this context, rate, class and gender are often considered to be the 'master categories' that represent the most relevant social differences. In contrast, we argue that it is impossible to determine the framework of any intersectional analysis by a predefined number of categories. This can be shown on historical, theoretical and political grounds: First, a reflection on the genealogy of feminist theory shows how crucial critical interventions have been for its development. Second, if an intersectional analysis does not problematize its own exclusions, it disregards its own insights into the functionality of power. And finally, the openness to new and different positions can be seen as a basis for a feminist solidarity beyond the logic of sameness." (author's abstract)
