Abstract

Digital platforms have become key infrastructures through which anti-gender actors expand their reach, cultivate ideological communities, and experiment with new forms of political organisation. This panel examines how online environments enable the transnationalisation of anti-gender mobilisations, the formation of digitally mediated identities, and the circulation of affect, narratives, and strategic templates across diverse political settings. Drawing on research from across Europe and East Asia, the papers analyse the emergence of cross-border digital linkages among anti-gender organisations; the development of discursive communities in which anti-gender language operates as a marker of lifestyle, identity, and self-legitimation; the permeability of online spaces where masculinist and anti-feminist repertoires transfer between ideological communities; and the affective and narrative architectures that sustain antifeminist mobilisation. Together, these contributions illuminate how digital spaces function as laboratories of ideological innovation, connective environments that facilitate selective forms of transnational engagement, and arenas in which anti-gender politics gain political visibility.
