Dabei verliert es marginalisierte und benachteiligte gesellschaftliche Gruppen als soziale Gemeinschaften ebenso wenig aus dem Blick wie die Singularitäten individueller Mitglieder und ihrer spezifischen Erfahrungen von Ablehnung oder Stereotypisierung.« Enoe Lopes Pontes, MEDIENwissenschaft, 1 (2024)
