Multiple times a rebel: The Intersections between Gender, Nationalism and Religion within Feminist Independentist Organizations in Catalonia.
Master thesis, Master Religion Conflict and Globalisation.
Abstract
Intersectionality has so far been used as a framework to combat the universalist features of
Western feminism. An intersectional lens has been used to bring to light the multiple
oppressions that women face, which does not solely focus upon gender, but also includes: race,
ethnicity, nationality, etc. This research will expand on this theory to demonstrate that an
intersectional framework can also show how women have reclaimed their agency within
feminist activism. Within the case study of Catalonia, feminist independentist organizations
have been examined in order to see how the intersections between gender, nationalism and
religion are present within their activism. As the Nationalist-Catholic Franco regime had a
severe impact upon the local and historical context of Catalonia, this study will show how these
concepts are interrelated and how this has shaped the multiple oppressions that Catalan women
face. Besides, it will elaborate upon how this resulted in a more mobilized and intersectional
form of feminism. Also, by applying an intersectional lens to study these women, the limitations
and frictions that this new form of feminism entails have been examined.
