Frequently, markers of identity are treated as fixed and absolute, subjected to examination and theorization, which reinforces their perceived certainty. As a result, socially constructed notions become ingrained as coercive categories, isolating and limiting individuals into binary oppositions such as male or female, black or white, straight or gay. A fresh approach is required, one that acknowledges the validity of researchers' self-reflexivity. By centering on the constructed and constructive nature of identity, the collection explores the frameworks and practices that foreclose transgressive possibilities. It aims to engage in a consciousness-raising exercise that documents the harmful effects of assigned social positions and rigid identity constructions. Furthermore, it seeks to transcend the socially prescribed categories of race, gender, and sex, recognizing the importance of combining intellectualization and feeling, rationality and affectivity, abstraction and emotion, consciousness and desire. The goal is to develop new transdisciplinary frameworks that universalize subjective and political spaces while retaining their particularity, allowing identity to remain imagined, plural, and continuously evolving. By adopting this approach, we restore the rich complexity of what it means to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 402g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 233 x 23 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800348950                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44099368091898,"sku":"9781800348950","price":27.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/746a1c1a18bda692c014ed6239372256.jpg?v=1621212893","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/black-intersectionalities-a-critique-for-the-21st-century","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
