Title: Differences for the changing of organizations Reflections on organizational learning and training in gender mainstreaming processes through the concept of intersectionality
Abstract: This paper aims to build some conceptual bridges in order to cross-link different disciplines. Its main tenet is the assumption that studies on gender mainstreaming, which mainly generated within the academic field of political studies, have mainly focused on policy design/implementation processes, thus overlooking the organizational and learning dimensions of mainstreamingprocesses. I argue that in order to practice and analyze a gender approach as a crosscutting framework it is necessary to take into serious account the organizational and institutional contexts and to read them through the lenses of feminist critics to theories of organizational learning and studies on gender in organizations. By highlighting and isolating conceptual tools at the crossroads of these disciplines, I pose some crucial research questionsand argue for the need of building a gendered 'formative' theory. The analysis shows how most of the critical literature in the aforementioned disciplines shares the refusal of a reductionist and binary logic and proposes a view on gender as intertwined with other differences and axis of discrimination—being that the case of the theories on intersectionality. I maintain that some of questions revealed by such interdisciplinary encounters allow us toimprove the empirical research on gender mainstreaming and eventually contribute to begin and shape a gendered 'formative' theory.

Title: Differenze per cambiare le organizzazioni Riflessioni su apprendimento organizzativo e formazione nei processi di mainstreaming di genere attraverso il concetto di intersezionalità
Abstract: Questo articolo si propone di gettare alcuni ponti tra ambiti disciplinari differenti partendo dal presupposto che gli studi sul gender mainstreaming, generati per lo più nel campo degli studi politici, si siano molto concentrati sulla lettura del fenomeno nell'ambito delle politiche pubbliche finendo per lo più il lasciare in secondo piano la dimensione organizzativa e quella formativadei cambiamenti in gioco2. Si argomenta come, per mettere in pratica la trasversalità del genere sia irrinunciabile indagare preliminarmente i contesti organizzativi e istituzionali di riferimento e procedere ad una lettura interdisciplinare che attinga alla critica femminista alle teorie dell'apprendimento esperienziale e organizzativo nonché agli studi su genere e organizzazione:illustrando ed isolando gli strumenti concettuali di tali nodi interdisciplinari giungerò a formulare alcune domande di ricerca e a sostenere la necessaria costruzione di una teoria della formazione di genere. L'analisi rivela come ad accomunare molta della letteratura critica attraverso le discipline sopra menzionate sia il rifiuto di una logica riduttivista e binaria e la proposta di una lettura del genere come differenza intrecciata ad altre differenze ed assi di discriminazione entro complesse e dinamiche configurazioni relazionali, come le teorie sull'intersezionalità hanno iniziato a proporre. Sono convinta che porre alcune delle domande che tali contaminazioni disciplinari aprono consenta di avanzare la ricerca empirica sulle pratiche di mainstreaming di genere e possa contribuire al contempo a dar forma ad una teoria della formazione di genere.

Title: Différences pour changer les réflexions Organisations sur l'apprentissage organisationnel et la formation dans les processus d'intégration de genre à travers le concept d'intersectionnalité
Abstract: Cet article vise à lancer des ponts entre différents domaines disciplinaires à partir de l'hypothèse que les études sur l'intégration de genre, principalement générées dans le domaine des études politiques, se sont concentrées sur la lecture du phénomène dans le domaine des politiques publiques, finissant par quittant la dimension organisationnelle et la formation de changements dans Play2 dans le deuxième étage 2. On explique comment, pour mettre en pratique la transversalité du genre qui est essentiel pour étudier les contextes organisationnels et institutionnels de référence préliminaire et pour procéder à une lecture interdisciplinaire qui s'appuie sur les critiques féministes aux théories de l'apprentissage expérientiel et organisationnel ainsi que des études sur le genre et l'organisation: illustrer et isoler les outils conceptuels de ces applications interdisciplinaires que les applications de la recherche sur les nœuds interdisciplinaires ira à faire des points de recherche et à soutenir les outils conceptuels des nœuds interdisciplinaires Construction nécessaire d'une construction d'une théorie de la formation de genre.L'analyse révèle comment unir beaucoup de littérature critique à travers les disciplines mentionnées ci-dessus à la fois le refus d'une logique réductrice et binaire et la proposition d'une telle lecture comme une différence entrelacée avec d'autres différences et axes de discrimination dans les configurations relationnelles complexes et dynamiques, telles que les théories sur l'intersectionnalité ont commencé à proposer.Je suis convaincu que poser certaines des questions que ces contaminations disciplinaires s'ouvrent permettent de faire avancer la recherche empirique sur les pratiques de consommation de genre et peuvent en même temps aider à façonner une théorie de la formation de genre.

Title: Diferencias a cambiar las organizaciones de reflexiones sobre el aprendizaje organizacional y la capacitación en procesos de integración de género a través del concepto de interseccionalidad
Abstract: Este artículo tiene como objetivo arrojar algunos puentes entre diferentes áreas disciplinarias a partir de la suposición de que los estudios sobre la integración de género, generados principalmente en el campo de los estudios políticos, se han centrado en la lectura del fenómeno en el campo de las políticas públicas, principalmente terminando dejando la dimensión organizacional y la formación de cambios en el juego22 en el segundo piso2.It is argued how, to put into practice the transversality of the genre that is essential to investigate the organizational and institutional contexts of reference preliminarily and to proceed with an interdisciplinary reading that draws on feminist criticism to the theories of experiential and organizational learning as well as to studies on gender and organization: illustrating and isolating the conceptual tools of these interdisciplinary nodes I will have to formulate some research applications and to support the necessary Construcción de una construcción de una teoría de formación de género.El análisis revela cómo unir mucha literatura crítica a través de las disciplinas mencionadas anteriormente tanto la negativa de una lógica reductora y binaria como la propuesta de tal lectura como una diferencia entrelazada con otras diferencias y ejes de discriminación dentro de configuraciones relacionales complejas y dinámicas, como las teorías sobre la interseccionalidad han comenzado a proponerse.Estoy convencido de que hacer algunas de las preguntas que abren estas contaminaciones disciplinarias permiten avanzar en la investigación empírica sobre las prácticas de integración de género y al mismo tiempo puede ayudar a dar forma a una teoría de la formación de género.
