From an intersectional perspective, human subjects are entangled in multiple normative frameworks of power. Yet neither subjectivity nor humanity are static entities. This means that who counts as a "relevant" human subject, and in what sense, is under constant negotiation via manifold processes of knowledge production. These processes of negotiation render the position of some human subjects more precarious than others. As Judith Butler notes, this is especially true when it comes to gender, sexuality, and transnational movements. In this paper, my aim is to analyse these normative systems of knowledge production from a feminist epistemological perspective and search for liberating epistemic strategies. Yet what actually constitutes liberating knowledge for subjects who are variously gendered and differently situated in transnational movements? How might one establish insight into the multifaceted relatedness of human subjects in globalised economies? How might one analyse and perhaps raise consciousness of the emancipatory potential of such interrelatedness? In these times, in which patterns of local and global political, cultural, epistemic, and economic entanglement are in constant motion, the answers to the aforementioned questions are far from obvious. What are the methods and models of knowledge production upon which it is possible to rely? These questions are addressed below.
