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

右翼议程一贯将女权主义、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”和反移民情绪作为获得民族主义、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，其形式是针对女权主义者、LGBTQI社区以及大学、非政府组织和政府中女权主义思想的制度化。在一系列背景下，“反性别”侵略也构成了宗教、种族、文化和民族主义原教旨主义的一部分，性别平等被妖魔化为一种外来进口，与移民和自由化的加剧或西方化的加剧有关。在女权主义内部，“反性别”的工作也坚持“性”的完整性，既是女性遭受性压迫的独特场所，也是挑战性暴力及其表现形式的独特立场。在这种背景下，变性人声称自己是完整的被忽视了，非殖民女性主义内部对性本质主义的批评也没有得到承认。研究网络从对“反性别”修辞核心的性别、性、种族和文化“真实性”的批评开始，探索艺术和人文学科的方法，这些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来抵抗右翼议程对反女权主义的接受。它将把已经在学术界从事“性别意识形态”研究的人，或者作为活动家和政策制定者的人聚集在一起，并要求他们突出对概念和叙事的关注，以便为该网络的跨国方法论目标做出贡献。我们将邀请来自巴西、印度、巴基斯坦、匈牙利、德国、波兰、英国、美国和斯堪的纳维亚等主要“反性别”动员地的参与者参加以下四个相关活动：政治。本次研讨会将通过关注使用的共同语言、引用的人物、发展的概念和修饰的叙事弧线，确定跨多个地点和尺度的“反性别”动员的“政治”。它将探索将“反性别”方法与右翼发展联系起来的方法，并开始回答为什么性别本身在关于文化和权威的争论中如此重要的问题。最后，它将探讨当代政治的抵抗模式。地理位置。第二次研讨会将突出地点和规模问题，以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描述为“被围困”的，以及区域、国家或文化的边界和边界是如何产生和管理的（在语法和修辞层面）。跨国性别平等社会运动是如何抵制这些实例的？短暂性。第三个工作坊聚焦于跨国“反性别”运动所讲述的关于过去、现在和未来的故事。如何说服观众相信失去了什么，需要（再次）找到什么？关于家庭和国家的起源故事是这里的关键，但这些故事是如何在不同的地点产生一种共同的时间性的想法的呢？交叉女权主义内部的反应是如何打破这些暂时性的，从而开辟新的未来的？跨国虚。最后的活动将是一个更大的活动，向广大观众展示研讨会的工作，并展示叙事方法的重要性，作为发展跨国方法的一部分，以询问和抵制“反性别”动员。作品从对“反性别”作品的抵制开始，参与者将自己定位为跨性别包容、交叉、反殖民的女性主义的一部分，关注艺术和人文主义对政治批判的干预的重要性。

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.
