Abstract

This article examines how feminist movements confront populist-nationalist regimes and the strategies they develop in response to gendered imaginaries of the nation. Drawing on the cases of Poland, India, and Brazil, it analyzes how women’s bodies, rights, and social roles are positioned at the center of populist-nationalist discourses. Employing critical discourse analysis and feminist theory, the study suggests that feminist resistance may be understood not only as reactive but also as reconstructive in nature—capable of reshaping the boundaries of populist-national belonging. Women’s movements develop alternative populist-nationalist imaginaries based on secularism, equality, and pluralism, challenging exclusionary and heteronormative definitions of citizenship. In this regard, the article makes a theoretical contribution to the literature on gender and nationalism, particularly populist nationalism, by revealing the potential of feminist resistance to redefine populist-national identity under populist regimes.

Özet

Bu makale, feminist hareketlerin popülist-milliyetçi rejimlerle karşılaşma biçimlerini ve bu rejimlerin toplumsal cinsiyet temelli ulus tahayyüllerine yönelik direniş stratejilerini incelemektedir. Polonya, Hindistan ve Brezilya örneklerinden yola çıkarak, kadın bedeninin, haklarının ve toplumsal rollerinin milliyetçi söylemlerin merkezine nasıl yerleştirildiği analiz edilmiştir. Eleştirel söylem analizi ve feminist kuram çerçevesinde yürütülen çalışma, feminist direnişin yalnızca tepki temelli değil, aynı zamanda ulusal aidiyetin sınırlarını dönüştüren yeniden kurucu bir nitelik taşıdığını ortaya koymaktadır. Kadın hareketleri, dışlayıcı ve heteronormatif yurttaşlık tanımlarına karşı laiklik, eşitlik ve çoğulculuk temelinde alternatif ulus tahayyülleri geliştirmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, feminist direnişin popülist rejimler altında ulusun kimliğini yeniden tanımlama potansiyelini görünür kılarak toplumsal cinsiyet ve milliyetçilik literatürüne kuramsal bir katkı sunmaktadır.
