Transnational 'Anti-Gender' Movements and Resistance: Narratives and Interventions

右翼议程一直将女权主义、性别平等和反种族主义视为一个问题，并利用“反性别”、“反女权主义”和反移民情绪作为争取民族主义、文化、宗教或政治议程支持的一种方式。目前，“反性别”攻击在全球范围内呈上升趋势，其形式是对女权主义者、LGBTQI社区的暴力行为，以及大学、非政府组织和政府中女权主义思想的制度化。“反性别”侵略也是宗教，种族，文化和民族主义原教旨主义的一部分，在一系列背景下，性别平等被妖魔化为与移民和自由化加剧或西方化加剧有关的外国进口。在女权主义中，“反性别”工作也坚持“性”的完整性，既作为对妇女的性压迫的独特场所，也作为挑战性暴力及其表现的独特立场。在这种情况下，跨性别者对完整性的要求被驳回，来自非殖民地女权主义内部的对性本质主义的批评仍然没有得到承认。该研究网络从对性别，性，种族和文化“真实性”的批评开始，这是“反性别”言论的核心，探索艺术和人文方法，可以帮助我们了解这些动员是如何工作的，目的是产生更强大的工具，以抵制反女权主义的权利，它将把那些已经在学术界对“性别意识形态”进行研究的人，或者作为活动家和政策制定者，并要求他们突出对概念和叙事的关注，以促进网络的跨国方法论目标。我们将邀请来自“反性别”动员的主要地点的参与者：巴西、印度、巴基斯坦、匈牙利、德国、波兰、英国、美国和斯堪的纳维亚参加以下四个相关活动：1.政治本次研讨会将通过关注使用的共同语言，引用的数字，开发的概念和装饰的叙事弧线，确定跨多个站点和规模的“反性别”动员的政治”。它将探讨如何将“反性别”的方法与右翼的发展联系起来，并开始回答为什么性别本身作为关于文化和权威的争论的一部分如此重要的问题。最后，它将询问抵抗的方式，这些方式也符合当代政治。地理位置。这第二个讲习班将突出位置和规模的问题，在检查跨国调查地点之间的交叉。一系列不同的地理区域是如何被表现为“被围困”的，地区、国家或文化的边界是如何产生和管制的（在语法和修辞层面上）。跨国性别平等社会运动如何抵制这种实例？3.暂时性的。第三个讲习班的重点是跨国“反性别”运动讲述的过去、现在和未来的故事。如何说服观众什么已经失去了，什么需要（再次）找到？关于家庭和国家的起源故事是这里的关键，但这些故事如何在不同的地点产生一个共享的时间性的想法？来自交叉女权主义内部的回应如何打破这些暂时性，开辟新的未来？4.跨国想象最后一场活动将是一场规模更大的活动，向广大观众展示研讨会的工作，并展示叙事方法的重要性，作为开发跨国方法的一部分，以质疑和抵制“反性别”动员。这项工作始于对“反性别”工作的抵制，其参与者将自己定位为跨 * 包容，交叉，反殖民女权主义关注艺术和人文干预对政治批评的重要性。

Right-wing agendas have consistently identified feminism, gender equality and anti-racism as a problem, and have used 'anti-gender', 'anti-feminist', and anti-migrant feeling as a way of garnering support for nationalist, cultural, religious or political agendas. Currently 'anti-gender' attacks are on the rise globally, in the form of violence against feminists, LGBTQI communities and institutionalisation of feminist thought in universities, NGOs and governments. 'Anti-gender' aggression also forms part of religious, ethnic, cultural and nationalist fundamentalism in a range of contexts, with gender equality demonised as a foreign import associated with heightened migration and liberalisation, or heightened Westernisation. Within feminism, too, 'anti-gender' work insists on the integrity of 'sex', both as the unique site of sexual oppression of women, and as a unique position from which to challenge sexual violence and its representations. In this context, trans* claims to integrity are dismissed, and critiques of sexual essentialism from within decolonial feminism remain unacknowledged. The research network starts from a critique of sexed, sexual, racial and cultural 'authenticity' that lies at the core of 'anti-gender' rhetoric, exploring Arts and Humanities approaches that can help us draw out how these mobilisations work, with the aim of generating more robust tools for resistance to the take up of anti-feminism for right-wing agendas.It will bring together people who are already doing research on 'gender ideology' within academia, or as activists and policy-makers, and ask them to foreground a focus on concepts and narrative in order to contribute to the network's transnational methodological aims. We will invite participants from the main sites of 'anti-gender' mobilisations: Brazil, India, Pakistan, Hungary, Germany, Poland, the UK, the US and Scandinavia to participate in four linked events as follows:1. Politics. This workshop will identify the 'politics of "anti-gender" mobilisations' across multiple sites and scales by focusing on common languages used, figures invoked, concepts developed and narrative arcs embellished. It will explore methods through which 'anti-gender' approaches are linked to right-wing developments and begin to answer the question of why gender itself is so important as part of arguments about culture and authority. Finally, it will ask after the modes of resistance that also characterise its contemporary politics.2. Geographies. This second workshop will foreground the question of location and scale in examining crossovers between sites of investigation transnationally. How are a range of different geographies represented as 'under siege', and how are the boundaries and borders of region, nation or culture produced and policed (at the grammatical and rhetorical level). How are such instantiations resisted by transnational social movement for gender equality?3. Temporalities. The third workshop focuses on the stories told about past, present and future by 'anti-gender' movements transnationally. How are audiences persuaded of what has been lost and what needs to be found (again)? Origin stories about family and nation are key here, but how do these stories work to generate an idea of a shared temporality across different sites? How too do responses from within intersectional feminisms work to interrupt those temporalities to open up new futures?4. Transnational Imaginaries. This final event will be a larger one that presents the work of the workshops to a broad audience and showcases the importance of a narrative approach as part of developing a transnational methodology to interrogate and resist 'anti-gender' mobilisations.The work starts from a resistance to 'anti-gender' work, and its participants locate themselves as part of trans* inclusive, intersectional, anticolonial feminism attentive to the importance of Arts and Humanities-based interventions to political critique.
