演講摘要：The abolishment of women’s and LGBTQ rights has become one of the main goals of the so-called “anti-gender campaigns” emerging on a global scale. This lecture presents discourses and notions that reject the concepts of “gender” and “gender-based violence” in times of “anti-gender campaigns” in Bulgaria. Based on discourse analysis and data from social media comments, the study demonstrates how “gender politics of fear” in Bulgaria have been included in the heteronormative, political, religious, nationalistic, and anti-feminist discourses and how gender and LGBTQ equality policies are identified as a threat to the traditional Bulgarian values. Engaging with the concept of hegemonic femininity, the analysis identifies four main types of notions among women opposing women’s rights policies and demonstrates how the socialist past of Bulgaria has strengthened these beliefs. Finally the lecture discusses the rapid development of the anti-gender mobilization within certain neoliberal discourses and values, using the concept of a “neoliberal utopian gaze,” outlining the challenges gender and sexuality studies have faced globally.
廢除女性與 LGBTQ 權利，已成為全球各地興起的所謂「反性別運動」（anti-gender campaigns）之核心目標之一。本演講將介紹在保加利亞反性別運動期間，拒絕「性別」（gender）與「性別暴力」（gender-based violence）等概念的論述及思維。本研究基於論述分析與社群媒體貼文，指出保加利亞「恐懼的性別政治」如何被融入異性戀常態（heteronormative）、政治、宗教、國族主義以及反女性主義的論述中，並剖析性別平權與 LGBTQ 平權政策為何被視為對保加利亞傳統價值的威脅。本研究亦引入「霸權女性氣質」（hegemonic femininity）的概念，歸納出反對女權政策的女性群體中四種主要思維類型，並闡明保加利亞的社會主義歷史背景如何強化了這些信念。最後，演講將運用「新自由主義烏托邦凝視」（neoliberal utopian gaze）的概念，探討反性別動員在特定新自由主義論述與價值觀下的迅速發展，並勾勒出全球性／別研究（gender and sexuality studies）所面臨的各項挑戰。
