Abstract

"This book charts the new phase of global struggles around gender equality and sexual democracy: the ultraconservative mobilization against "gender ideology" and feminist efforts to counteract it. It argues that anti-gender campaigns, which emerged around 2010 in Europe, are not a simple continuation of the anti-feminist backlash dating back to the 1970s, but part of a new political configuration. Opposition to "gender" has become a key element of the rise of right-wing populism, which successfully harnesses the anxiety, shame and anger caused by neoliberalism and threatens to destroy liberal democracy. Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment offers a novel conceptualization of the relationship between the ultraconservative anti-gender movement and right-wing populist parties, examining the opportunistic synergy between these actors. The authors map the anti-gender campaigns as a global movement, putting the Polish case in a comparative perspective. They show that the anti-gender rhetoric is best understood as a reactionary critique of neoliberalism as a socio-cultural formation. The book also studies the recent wave of feminist mass mobilizations, viewing the transnational revolt of women as a left populist movement. This is an important study for those researching in Politics, Cultural Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies and Sociology. It will also be useful for activists and policy makers"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Après plusieurs décennies de progrès constant, l’Europe fait face à une nouvelle vague d’opposition à l’égalité de genre et aux droits sexuels, des revendications rassemblées sous le vocable de « théorie » ou « idéologie » du genre. Cette opposition se manifeste à propos d’enjeux divers, comme l’ouverture du mariage aux couples de même sexe, l’avortement, les technologies de reproduction, l’éducation sexuelle, les législations antidiscriminatoires ou les droits des personnes trans. Comment un concept universitaire comme le genre, repris par une organisation religieuse telle l’Église catholique romaine, a-t-il pu se convertir en un puissant outil de mobilisation et devenir la cible de mouvements sociaux ? Comment ces discours et ces formes de mobilisation traversent-ils les frontières ? Qui sont les acteurs de ces mouvements ? À partir de l’étude des mouvements anti-genre de treize pays européens, dans une approche transnationale et comparée, cet ouvrage présente les points de rencontre entre mobilisations religieuses, populisme de droite et angoisses nationales dans l’Europe d’aujourd’hui.

Abstract

While the field of research in right-wing populism has recently been blossoming and is expanding, a systematic look into the interface of right-wing Populism and Gender is still missing, even though gender issues are omnipresent in discourses of the radical right ranging from »ethnosexism« against immigrants, to »anti-genderism«. The volume seeks to strengthen the analysis of the intersection of gender and race as constitutional for radical right discourse. The contributions investigate from different European perspectives the ways in which gender is used as an arena and as an epistemological platform for the ordering and hierarchization of political objectives. »[This book] remains a valuable addition to the fields of populism and gender studies. I recommend it to anyone looking for critical European perspectives on the synergy of both disciplines.« Marco Bitschnau, International Feminist Journal of Politics, 17.12.2020 »A first benefit of this volume is that it shows the fruitfulness of opening a feminist toolbox in the evolving theorizing about populism. A second benefit is that the contributors raise important questions about the different types of right-wing populist actors and coalitions that exist and that use gender (and related categories) as a means for (sometimes strange) coalition building and for criticizing globalization processes (in sometimes contradicting ways).« Pauline Stoltz, Ethnic and Racial Studies, 17.12.2020 O-Ton: »Selling the past as future« - Interview with Julia Roth and Gabriele Dietze on L.I.S.A. Wissenschaftsportal of Gerda Henkel Stiftung on 26.11.2020. Besprochen in: https://trafo.hypotheses.org, 01.10.2020, Julia Roth
