Abstract

This article aims to articulate the contribution of the full experience of differences, in their intersections, with the promotion of a sense of belonging to organizations and the integrality of existences. The research is based on references that bring together the concepts of belonging, fullness and integrality with the categories of differences and diversities. The development is guided by the cartographic method, having carried out semi-structured interviews with people belonging to a minority group and who are active in an organization. The results show that, as much as there are actions for the inclusion of diversity in organizations, people do not feel that they belong to spaces, given the fact that they are not perceived in their intersectionalities. Another evidenced fact is linked to the phenomenon of “over-inclusion”, a universalist practice that seeks to affirm that all people are equal, generating an erasure of differences.
