ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the question of social differentiation and intersectionality is approached from a slightly more practical and ‘tilted’ entry point than in the precious chapter. The aim is to spur methodological thinking that converts the idea of intersectionality into developing concrete collaborative modes of inquiry. The author shows how collaboratively produced texts can work evocatively on an individual level and thereafter be brought into collective conversations revolving around the concept of intersectionality, if the communication is organized and framed in a specific way. If the endeavour is organized and framed in an open experimental mode, then form, reception and joint processing in a group can convey productive dimensions into the ongoing conversations about how to understand intersectionality. What happens when you do not start by analysing a text in a detached way, but instead let it evoke emotionally as well as intellectually – with the whole body? Could it be that a focus on relational responsiveness as legitimate, and maybe even necessary, opens up other ways of relating across difference and other types of relevance? The chapter calls out for the reader to react and draw on their imagination.
