Research paper by Charlotte Pezeril and Ioannis Koliopanos (EATG member), published in GENDER
Abstract
The article advances the concept of intrasectionality to deepen intersectional analysis by examining how hierarchies and exclusions operate within, as well as between, marginalized groups. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative research conducted in Belgium among people living with HIV, it explores how serostatus reorganizes inequalities of gender, race, class, and age, producing new configurations of privilege and vulnerability. The analysis highlights the dual dynamics of visibility and erasure shaping HIV politics, where solidarity coexists with internal tensions. Focusing on ageing, the paper shows how serophobia and ageism intersect to generate both stigma and resilience, and how “age activism” reclaims later life as a site of agency and care. Intrasectionality thus offers a critical lens to rethink recognition, solidarity, and justice within minority communities.
