Descripción del proyecto
Evaluación de los mensajes antigénero
El proyecto Sense AGENDa, financiado con fondos europeos, explorará por qué algunas personas siguen oponiéndose y, en algunas democracias europeas, rechazando cada vez más la igualdad de género y sexo. Con el aumento de las movilizaciones antigénero, sobre todo contra los derechos de género y los derechos de las personas lesbianas, gais, bisexuales y transgénero, existe una necesidad apremiante de comprender cómo las personas conceptualizan los mensajes antigénero, qué hace que estos mensajes calen en públicos heterogéneos, y cómo y por qué tienen éxito o fracasan en contextos diferentes. El objetivo de este estudio es comprender cómo evalúan los ciudadanos las ideas disponibles públicamente sobre género y sexualidad.
Objetivo
This project explores why ordinary people continue to oppose and, in some European democracies, increasingly push back against gender and sexual equality. In face of anti-gender mobilizations, i.e. the campaigns against gender and LGBT rights that have been growing in strength and influence since the mid-2000s, we urgently need to understand how individuals make sense of anti-gender messages, what makes these messages resonant to different audiences, and how and why they succeed or fail in different contexts. In examining these questions, this study will adopt a cross-cultural qualitative research design, comparing the strategically selected cases of Croatia and Belgium (Flanders). By a unique combination of democratic forums, pre-acquainted focus groups and individual interviews, this study aims to understand how ordinary people evaluate publicly available ideas about gender and sexuality; how the individuals' personal and social characteristics and identifications shape their evaluations at both the individual and collective level; and how are these gender and sexuality evaluations and interpretations situated into contexts with different climates of opinions and institutional-legal frameworks. Based on this, the study aims to build a theoretical model of cultural reception that connects individual and group perspectives and socio-cultural contexts. The project's insights will contribute to various disciplines studying the interactions of institutions, values and individual meanings in general, and the anti-gender mobilizations more specifically, ranging from sociology and political sciences to social movements, public opinion and gender and sexuality studies. The study's results are also intended to generate wider social impact by highlighting the concerns the policymakers and the stakeholders need more strongly address if they desire to open a constructive public dialogue with citizens struggling how to best make sense of difficult issues in an uncertain world.
