这篇文章重新审视了这样一种观点,即女性在极右翼群体中要么缺席,要么微不足道。它借鉴了对英国国防联盟草根活动家的人种学研究,以探索新一代民粹主义激进右翼运动是否提供了能够吸引女性和LGBT选民的性别政治和做法。它批判性地质疑了这样的说法,即该运动在对女性和LGBT活动人士的开放程度和所扮演的角色方面做出了真正的转变,并询问采用性别平等和同性恋权利言论是否反映了这种变化,或者本质上是一种工具性举措。最后,它考虑了性别和性政治是如何在运动的日常实践中发挥作用的。报告的结论是,尽管对女性、LGBT支持者和活动人士持开放态度不仅仅是自上而下地强加一种具有战略意义的意识形态,但活动人士的态度和行为仍然高度多样化、矛盾,而且往往相互冲突。
This article revisits the view that women are absent or insignificant across the extreme right spectrum. It draws on ethnographic research with grassroots activists in the English Defence League to explore whether a new generation of populist radical right movements offers a gender politics and practice capable of appealing to women and LGBT constituencies. It critically interrogates claims that the movement has made real shifts in the openness to, and roles played by, women and LGBT activists and asks whether the adoption of gender equality and gay rights rhetoric reflects such change or is an essentially instrumental move. Finally it considers how gender and sexual politics are played out in everyday practice in the movement. It concludes that while openness to women and LGBT supporters and activists is more than the top-down imposition of a strategically useful ideology, attitudes and behaviours among activists remain highly diverse, ambivalent and often conflicted.
