Abstract

While the field of research in right-wing populism is by now established and rapidly expanding, the function of gender in and for populism has not yet been studied systematically. This contribution focuses on the relationship between the two fields, based on the assumption that a gender focus on populism will enrich the study field, and furthermore provides an innovative parameter for a re-evaluation of the phenomenon and the theorizing on (right-wing) populism. The article carves out five patterns of gendering in recent right-wing populist discourse. Since in many places where a strong right-wing populist trend can be observed, we also see the simultaneous emergence of strong feminist movements. In the essay, gender, anti-sexism, and intersectional feminism are recognized as a means of contestation and resistance to right-wing populist, new-conservative and fundamentalist forces. The article thus pursues a two-fold aim: first, to examine the logic and function of gender for the ‘right-wing populist complex’ in order to re-evaluate the phenomenon and expand the theorizing toward more complex forms of descriptions and analysis, and, secondly, to sketch out spaces and practices of resistance that are also based on gendered politics, or make resistance to anti-sexism their point of departure.
