%X In analysing and understanding discrimination in our globalised society, the intersectional approach becomes fundamental to move beyond presumed collective classifications and adopt a conceptual framework inclusive of all forms of discrimination and their intersections. However, this does not only relate to the existence of different forms of the discriminatory experience, but also to the diversity in resistance and to the ways in which individuals stand up to it. By presenting an in-depth exploration of the case of Spain, this paper illustrates the key elements that play a role in the use of resources to complain against experiences of discrimination as a means of resistance. This is analysed through a multi-dimensional approach which reveals the existence of a breach between the prominent application of the intersectional concept at the academic level and its minimal use by individuals experiencing discrimination and those dealing with discrimination complaints. It is by linking the results of an empirical investigation with the arguments outlined at the wider academic sphere that this paper attempts to bridge the gap between the everyday experiences and the conceptual debate. En analysant et en comprenant la discrimination ¨¤ l¡¯aune de notre soci¨¦t¨¦ globalis¨¦e, l¡¯approche intersectionnelle devient fondamentale pour d¨¦passer les classifications collectives pr¨¦sum¨¦es et pour adopter un cadre conceptuel incluant toutes les formes de discrimination et leurs intersections. Cela renvoie non seulement ¨¤ l¡¯existence de diff¨¦rentes formes d¡¯exp¨¦rience discriminatoire mais aussi aux diff¨¦rentes mani¨¨res dont les individus y font face et y r¨¦sistent. ¨¤ partir d¡¯une exploration approfondie du cas espagnol, cet article montre les ¨¦l¨¦ments-cl¨¦s qui jouent un r le dans l¡¯usage des ressources mobilis¨¦es comme moyen de r¨¦sistance en cas d¡¯exp¨¦riences discriminatoires. Grace ¨¤ une approche multi-dimensionnelle, l¡¯analyse r¨¦v¨¨le l¡¯existence d¡¯un ¨¦cart entre l¡¯application importante du concept d¡¯intersectionalit¨¦ au niveau acad¨¦mique et son usage minimal par les individus victimes de discriminations et les personnes traitant les plaintes. C¡¯est en reliant les r¨¦sultats d¡¯une enqu¨ºte empirique aux arguments d¨¦ploy¨¦s par le milieu acad¨¦mique que cet article tente de combler l¡¯¨¦cart entre les exp¨¦riences quotidiennes et le d¨¦bat conceptuel.
