The study turns its attention to the significant paradigm shift in the narratives on intersex that occurred within early 1990s intersex activism in response to biopolitical regulations of intersex bodies. Focusing on the emergence of recent autobiographical stories and cultural productions like novels and TV series centering around intersex, Viola Amato provides a first systematic analysis of an activism-triggered resignification of intersex. 606 $aIntersex people$xPolitical activity 606 $aIntersexuality 606 $aMass media 615 0$aIntersex people$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aIntersexuality. 615 0$aMass media. 700 $aAmato$b Viola$01242297 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 801 2$bACMR 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308781303316 996 $aIntersex Narratives$92881806 997 $aUNISA
