Special issue: ''Re-defining Gender, Sexuality, and Discourse in the Global
Rise of Right-Wing Extremism'' 

Edited by: Giuseppe Balirano - Rodrigo Borba 

CfP: https://www.anglistica-aion-unior.org/call-for-papers

This forthcoming issue of Anglistica AION aims to present a systematic
consideration of the political agenda and discourses of contemporary
right-wing extremist movements by looking at the discursive (de)constructions
of gender and gender non-conforming developments, in the distant but
associated contexts of Europe and Latin America. In particular, the editors
are interested in bringing to the fore not only the recurring right-wing
extremist discourses on the building of transnational networking but above all
the ways and reasons these networks choose their specific victims/targets in
an analogous transnational way. This edited volume intends to investigate the
linguistic and semiotic practices enacted by right-wing extremist groups,
politicians, institutions, organizations and movements within a
gender-specific perspective. All papers will look at right-wing extremist
discourses and counter-discourses on gender and sexuality with a view to
understanding their constitution in order to highlight the challenges they
pose to democracies. 

Possible areas of inquiry may include but are not limited to:
- The discursive strategies used by right-wing extremists to canvass the
population's support against gender equity
- The discursive and semiotic infrastructure of fake news on gender and
sexuality and their role constituting disinformation orders and moral panic
- The reconfiguration of what is politically doable and sayable in the public
sphere and its relation with processes of de-democratization
- The production of affective polarization through rhetorics of division in
which gender and sexuality take centre stage
- The discursive production of concepts such as 'gender ideology', 'gender
theory', 'genderism', 'gender lobby' and their material effects on a variety
of contexts (e.g. politics, education, foreign affairs, the media, etc.)
- The transnational circulation of right-wing extremist discourses and
ideologies against gender equity and sexual liberation and how they are
localized within specific national borders
- The intersections of racism, xenophobia, sexism, ableism, homophobia and
other oppressive discourses within right-wing extremism
- The production of counter-discourses and practices of resistance to
right-wing extremist anti-gender and anti-LGBTIQ+ stance
- The repurposing of progressive vocabulary (e.g. gender, freedom of speech,
human rights, etc.) in order to advance reactionary worldviews

Understanding the infrastructure of far-right discourses requires an
interdisciplinary spectrum of approaches which includes, but is not limited
to, critical discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, multimodal (critical)
discourse analysis, linguistic anthropology, pragmatics, interactional
sociolinguistics, political discourse analysis, queer linguistics, among
others.
