Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course explores the articulation of populism in the media with a focus on the gender-ideology discourse attacking the key analytical category of feminism. The actual case study will be the stigmatization of gender/feminism in Hungary since the system change in 1989 situated in the broader context of anti-LGBTQI and anti-gender activism and state political propaganda in CEE countries. Although the course concentrates predominantly on populism’s articulation mostly on the political right, it will also address the so-called ‘progressive’ feminists ‘gender critical stance’ in the attempts at self-criticism, when discussing the reasons for the success of anti-gender hate propaganda on the right in the context of the precarity politics of neoliberalism: In order to cut across the foundationalist binary of structural (politics of economy) versus symbolic forms of injustice (identity-politics) that reiterates the biologization of sex(uality), we shall develop an intersectional approach that draws on discursive positionality and the importance of the affect of trust against and beyond the legitimacy of anger.
Assessment and permitted materials
A seminar paper (3000-4500) that discusses the emergence and changes to the gender-ideology discourse in a particular socio-cultural context. Active participation in the discussions: Students are to bring with them 2-3 questions based on the weekly readings, securing engagement in their argumentation. The performance in the latter may put the assessment of the seminar paper one notch up or down on the grading scale. Students are also encouraged to bring along actual examples of gender-ideology discourse they are familiar with and6or are planning to study for their seminar paper.
