Abstract

FAUNDES, José Manuel Morán. ¿De qué hablan cuando hablan de “ideología de género”? La construcción del enemigo total. Astrolabio [online]. 2023, n.30, pp.177-203. ISSN 1668-7515.  http://dx.doi.org/10.55441/1668.7515.n30.32465.

Through the mobilization of the “gender ideology” discourse, neoconservative actors are promoting a transnational questioning of gender policies and theories. This discourse has gained relevance in recent years and is having an impact on various institutions and public processes. This article seeks to synthetically analyze the main ideas that make up the “gender ideology” discourse, focusing on how it builds a boundary between “us” and “other”. To do this, the texts produced from the 1990s to date by various neoconservative actors in the Americas and Europe are analyzed, paying special attention to those that had the most impact and dissemination. After making a brief genealogy of the “gender ideology” discourse, the concept of “total enemy” is proposed to highlight how this discourse produces an imaginary where the “other” is thought in epistemic, ideological, moral, and geopolitical terms, shaping the image of an adversary that evokes various moral panics that encourage mobilization. “Gender ideology”, more than a concept aimed at describing a phenomenon, is a mobilization and convocation strategy, a model of political subjectivation.

Keywords : Gender ideology; neoconservatism; feminism; sexuality; hate speech..
