Intersectionality and quantitative methods: Explorative and regression based approaches
En intersektionel tilgang til sociologisk analyse er baseret på en idé om, at forskellige undertrykkelsessystemer og diskriminationsformer, der knytter sig til forskellige sociale kategorier såsom køn, seksualitet, religion, race/etnicitet og social klasse/socioøkonomisk status, gensidigt konstituerer og omformer hinandens betydning på komplekse måder. Intersektionalitetsbegrebet giver således ikke umiddelbart forrang til bestemte sociologiske metoder. I praksis er det dog de kvalitative metoder, der dominerer intersektionalitetsforskningen. Denne metodiske ensidighed har den uhensigtsmæssige konsekvens, at omfanget og stabiliteten af strukturelle ulighedsforhold kommer til at fremstå som præmisser, som ikke i sig selv gøres til genstand for empirisk analyse i den kvalitativt dominerede intersektionalitetsforskning. Der udestår således et væsentligt arbejde med at få kvantitative metoder integreret i den danske såvel som internationale intersektionalitetsforskning, hvis de uhensigtsmæssige konsekvenser af et ensidigt fokus på kvalitative metoder skal undgås. Vores formål med denne artikel er derfor ved hjælp af to empiriske eksempler – et baseret på regressionsanalyse og et baseret på korrespondanceanalyse – at illustrere, hvordan kvantitative metoder frugtbart kan benyttes i intersektionalitetsforskning.An intersectional approach to sociological analysis is based on the idea that different systems of oppression and forms of discrimination that relate to social categories such as gender, sexuality, religion, race/ethnicity, and social class/socioeconomic status constitute and shape each other’s impact in complex ways. Accordingly, the concept of intersectionality does not prioritize specific sociological methods. In practice, however, qualitative methods dominate intersectionality research. This methodological one-sidedness has the unfortunate consequence that the magnitude and stability of relations of structural inequality appear as premises, but are not subjected to empirical analysis in qualitative research. Thus, important work remains to be done to integrate quantitative methods in Danish as well as in international intersectionality research if a one-sided focus on qualitative methods is to be avoided. Our purpose with this research paper is, using two empirical examples – one based on regression analysis and one based on correspondence analysis – to illustrate how quantitative methods can fruitfully be applied in intersectionality research

Sunil Yapa’s Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of a Fist: Protest, Fiction and the Ethics of Care
Sunil Yapa’s politically engaged first novel vindicates the massive pacific protests that occurred during five days in Seattle in November-December 1999. These protests were summoned against the World Trade Organization summit. The novel responds to the wish to inscribe in the history of fiction a crucial event which would inspire and inflect the later anti-globalization movement and protests, and which according to some has not yet received the attention it deserves by media or criticism. This article discusses Yapa’s work in the light of the Ethics of Care, and develops an exegesis, which, incorporating elements of Hardt and Negri’s ideas about the Multitude, understands the novel mainly as a reflection of the crucial preoccupation thathumans have for other human beings, and the innate wish to actively take care of the Other and improve his or her life conditions
