| Abstract | ||||
| This article examines the notion of difference from an intersectional translocational positionality framing. Locked in a binary system difference is reduced and excluded. Following an intersectional research approach in a Kuwaiti online context a dynamic more complex and multilayered difference emerged. Focusing on processes and systems of power and power-relations, subjects appear to occupy multiple locations and are positioned in multiple and contradictory ways. These contradictory locations where penalty and privilege intersect reveal the shifting fusions of multilayered and relational differences. Kuwaiti subjects were involved in the ‘making’ of difference in differing degrees. | ||||
