This article has as its objective a revision of the intersectionality concept in order to acknowledge the possibilities offered by it in the construction of new knowledge. This will be done under the critical triad interculturality-health-corporeity, associated with the educational field. The research method used is a literature review, using a critical method and reviewing updated databases. Contemporary research approaches that use as an analytical basis the principles of intersectionality allow the formulation of proposals, projects, and other relevant devices. These elements enable, at the same time, the transit of the research process on human singularity, evidencing the critical potentiality of communities and territories. Intersectionality as an analysis tool allows a jump from the categories to the concept of multiple singularities, since from this Latin-American perspective, the deconstruction of exclusion devices transmitted and reproduced through the discourse is approved, along with the community practice and its own singular symbolisation. The contribution of intersectional theory is to overcome the vision of hegemonic categorisation, especially when the intercultural perspective and essentialist views are used in front of realities such as health, illness or disability, and also the way in which, until now, some categories have been defined in the dominant discourse about the body experience in relation with the enjoyment of fundamental human rights.
