*CFP* "INTERSECTIONALITY AND DIGITAL PLATFORMS", SPECIAL ISSUE, FRONTEIRAS JOURNAL

In recent years, the intersectional perspective has been highlighted in research focused on acknowledge how discrimination articulates by different structures of oppression. The perspective is widely disseminated by the ideas of American black jurist and feminist, Kimberlé Crenshaw, who systematized the concept of “intersectionality” in 1989 in the United States. In Brazil, and a few years earlier but still in the 1980s, Lélia Gonzalez already denounced the effects of the double oppression of sexism and racism over black women. Beyond universities, the concept has been appropriated by social movements. It also circulates in discourses on digital platforms that try to draw attention to the way these oppressions cross and structure the everyday practices of many people. Thus, this configures huge gaps in spaces of power and construction of knowledge. The debate on intersectionality and its effects in everyday lives finds fertile ground in digital platforms for the inclusion of diverse experiences and concrete experiences in view of the particularity of each person.
 
We announce a call for a special issue of Fronteiras Journal, a Brazil-based open access journal, on intersectionality and digital platforms. The special issue encourages submissions that explore one or more of the following issues:
