MUJERES RACIALIZADAS UNIVERSITARIAS DE GRANADA: PROCESOS DE EMPODERAMIENTO DESDE LA INTERSECCIONALIDAD

Abstract

This research paper shows the results about the study of the empowerment processes in the public space of a group of young black and Afro-descendant women students of the University of Granada. The conducted study starts from anthropological and sociological theories that suppose alternative perspectives to the classical and hegemonic ways of seeing the world. From this basis, racialized female bodies are addressed through a qualitative methodology as agents in the social process, analysing and discussing their capacity for transformation from their position. Specifically, the self-definition of their sexuality and their structural awareness are suggested as two remarkable elements to understand how these processes occur. Finally, the hypothesis raised is compared with the conclusions drawn from a series of interviews and the relevance that these have within the study of the body is shown.
