Description du projet
Recenser, comprendre et construire une résistance aux politiques «anti-genre»
Malgré des progrès récents, la lutte pour l’égalité de genre, l’intégrité physique et l’autodétermination se poursuit. Les défis ayant trait aux libertés de genre et à l’inclusion des trans* compromettent les mouvements féministes et LGBTQI+, les études critiques et les libertés académiques. Inspiré par les idées du féminisme et de la politique queer, RESIST conçoit les différences sociales comme s’entrecroisant mutuellement. Le projet étudiera l’impact des politiques dites «anti-genre» en Europe et ailleurs. En développant des méthodes pour créer et soutenir le travail collectif en faveur des libertés sexuelles et de genre, le projet dressera la carte des politiques anti-genre, et étudiera les expériences vécues et les contre-stratégies. L’équipe de recherche collaborera avec la société civile pour générer de nouvelles idées et solutions. RESIST contribuera à l’élaboration de politiques, dans l’intérêt des victimes de discriminations croisées et du public en général.
Objectif
Anti-gender politics pose a grave threat to modern democratic formations because they challenge people's everyday survival, bodily integrity, and self-determination. Anti-gender spans the political spectrum and manifests not only in illiberal and authoritarian regimes but also in democracies that are considered liberal and inclusive. Taking a transnational and intersectional approach, RESIST analyses anti-gender formations in their complexity and contradictions and explores the effects of anti-gender politics on the everyday lives of those vulnerable to it and on democracies on the whole. RESIST engages with heterogeneous manifestations of anti-gender across the EU, Europe, and beyond through eight national case studies (Belarus, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Switzerland) and a transnational case study of people living in exile as a result of anti-gender persecution. RESIST pursues a mixed methods approach to analyse the production and circulation of gender-equality repressive strategies and discourses and their effects on lived experiences and resistances. RESIST innovates methodologically to engender democracy by fostering collaboration between academia and civil society organisations (CSOs), especially amongst people who come to be targets of anti-gender, including women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI+) persons. If those social groups whose fundamental rights are most at risk of violation by anti-gender are empowered to resist, then entire democratic societies benefit. RESIST centres feminist agency and collaborative knowledge production in (a) the research contents and results, (b) the methodological design, and (c) the social impact by generating new responsive feminist theories and practical solutions. At a time of increasing political disillusionment, RESIST creates hopeful, imaginative futures, transformative theories, and more inclusive worlds.
