20.500.12556/RUL-158644 Re-nationalizing citizenship and democratic backsliding anti-gender mobilizations in Central-Eastern Europe This chapter explores the emergence, rise and effects of the anti-gender mobilizations in (Central-Eastern) Europe, arguing that anti-gender initiatives represent a significant force in society’s illiberalization and the process of re-nationalizing citizenship. These mobilizations contribute to defining the idea of “good citizens” and their claim to citizenship rights and belonging by concentrating on the promotion of “traditional family” values and rhetoric. The chapter begins by outlining the development and discursive structure of the anti-gender mobilization, followed by an analysis of interpretations explaining its emergence, persistence, and popularity. It then examines how the anti-gender initiatives contribute to the re-nationalization of citizenship by aligning itself with ethno-nationalistic interpretations. The anti-gender movement effectively mobilizes individuals by exploiting concerns about the future, particularly regarding the family and nation. The mobilization promotes a retrotopian vision in which an idealized past, characterized by strict gender roles and hierarchies, is viewed as superior to the present, through calls to return to such a past. However, it is argued that such aspirations are ultimately unattainable and fail to address contemporary challenges. The chapter concludes by advocating for a focus on building a better future rooted in democratic values, social fairness, and human rights, necessitating a transformation of existing power structures associated with gender and national identity. anti-gender movement gender ideology gender theory citizenship Eastern Europe teorija spola ideologija spola spolna identiteta državljanstvo istospolni odnosi družbena enakost družbena gibanja populizem homofobija Srednjevzhodna Evropa true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-06-18 15:12:56 2024-06-19 14:45:49 2024-07-02 03:39:22 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 361-381 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-06-01 316.367.7:316.647.82 10.1007/978-3-031-57144-2_16 199277315 199269379 Kuhar_Pajnik_-_Anti-gender_-_Proofread_FINAL.pdf Kuhar_Pajnik_-_Anti-gender_-_Proofread_FINAL.pdf 1 BDDB92D9855B089EDD7CE729CDF054EF 6a11bb062d0448b5dd4f6057a00d4b948518bf7f63d47750a5e0a3535b194edc c09b38ee-2d75-11ef-88cb-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186353 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-57144-2_16 1 da54159c-2e11-11ef-aa1b-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186382 Filozofska fakulteta Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
