Abstract
Feminist scholars have drawn attention to the onto-epistemological differences between intersectionality and poststructuralism, particularly the differing understandings of power, oppression, the self, and resistance strategies. There have been debates between scholars from both camps; the intersectional side have denounced poststructuralists for flattening oppressive hierarchies (Collins, 1998) and the poststructuralist camp have criticised the intersectional as identitarian (e.g., Mann, 2013; Nash, 2013). Some researchers have attempted to reconcile these disparate theoretical perspectives but have not been very successful (Carbin and Edenheim, 2013; Staunæs, 2003). Neither highlighting the conflicts nor attempting to combine these approaches, this chapter aims to offer an alternative way to approach this intersectionalpoststructuralist debate, that is, by juxtaposing an intersectional and poststructuralist feminist analysis of one narrative (of a young Indonesian gay Christian), fleshing out their contrasting onto-epistemological stances, and reflecting on this juxtaposition. This chapter also seeks to contribute to the existing literature by exhibiting the underrepresented account of the interplay between religion and sexuality in a specific context in the Global South, namely, Indonesia.
