English to Italian: On Intersectionality General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - English In a TED Talk she gave in 2016, Crenshaw resumed the DeGraffenreid v. General Motors case, which inspired her to start using the term ‘intersectionality’. She discussed the experience of Emma DeGraffenreid, “a working wife and a mother” who, alongside four other women, filed a lawsuit against the local car manufacturing plant on the claim that they did not hire her because she was a black woman (Crenshaw, 2016, 5:04). In 1976 her complaint was dismissed on the argument that the employer did hire women – all of whom were white – as well as black people – all of whom were men. Judge Harris Wangelin established that ‘black women’ could not be considered a separate class, who could benefit from special treatment within the legal framework, or else it would raise the “prospect of opening the hackneyed Pandora’s box” (DeGraffenreid, 1976: 144) of minorities who would expect the same treatment. This showcases the erasure of the specific challenges faced by black women as a group, who are forced to navigate between the experiences of the binary monocular recognition of either their sex or their race – while at the same time forced to be overlooked by the privileged members of those categories.
Translation - Italian Durante una conferenza TED che ha tenuto nel 2016, Crenshaw ha ripreso il caso DeGraffenreid v. General Motors, che l'ha ispirata a cominciare a usare il termine "intersezionalità". Ha discusso l'esperienza di Emma DeGraffenreid, "una moglie e madre lavoratrice", la quale, assieme ad altre quattro donne, sporse denuncia contro lo stabilimento di fabbricazione di automobili locale sulla base del fatto che non l'avevano assunta in quanto donna nera (Crenshaw, 2016, 5:04). Nel 1976 il suo reclamo fu respinto sull'argomentazione che il datore di lavoro aveva assunto donne - ciascuna delle quali era bianca - e persone nere - ciascuna delle quali era un uomo. Il giudice Harris Wangelin stabilì le "donne nere" non potevano essere considerate una categoria a sé stante, che potesse godere di un trattamento di favore all'interno del sistema giudiziario, perché altrimenti si rischierebbe di manifestare "la prospettiva dell'apertura del banalissimo vaso di Pandora" (DeGraffenreid, 1976: 144) di altre minoranze che pretenderebbero lo stesso trattamento. Questo evidenzia la cancellazione delle difficoltà specifiche affrontate dalle donne nere come un gruppo sociale costretto a navigare attraverso le esperienze del riconoscimento univoco e binario o del loro sesso o della loro razza - e costretto, al contempo, a essere trascurato dai membri privilegiati di tali categorie.
