Chapter Seven introduces “parallility,” a concept that enriches intersectionality by acknowledging the coexistence of multiple truths within a single individual. It contrasts traditional frameworks and emphasizes the internal complexity of identities, presenting parallility as an ontology that captures the dynamic interplay of emotional experiences, thus enhancing the study of self in anthropology. - Relational Anthropology – Self as Site
