Most importantly, it calls for a transformative political imagination that can dismantle authoritarian populist logic and build pathways toward social justice.
This can be useful for anyone working on #gender, #populism, political imaginations, #socialjustice #genderedviolence, and #antigenderism.

I explicate how gender-based needs are held hostage by paternalistic social policies, and how masculinist entrenchment normalises punitive violence under the guise of masculinist protection.

I argue that authoritarian populism as a political imagination not only operates through its polarising logic but also paralyses thought processes for alternative imaginations and entraps people in its mind-confusing maze, which I reveal as #slowviolence

I introduce a nuanced analytical framework that explores gendered violence, anti-gender politics, and authoritarian populism through a relational lens - not as isolated issues, but as deeply intertwined forces shaping everyday life.

I deploy the #capabilities approach through continuum thinking for a more comprehensive understanding of gendered violence within top-down #anti-gender politics in #Turkey, building on the concept of 'masculinist entrenchment' we published last year: doi.org/10.1016/j.ws...

Superman Trump and the Crisis of Masculinity by Design On July 10, 2025, the official White House X account posted an AI-generated image of Donald Trump as Superman. He’s shown in the red-and-blue suit, cape flowing, mid-flight. The caption reads: “A T…

Trump’s AI-generated Superman post isn’t just a meme. It’s gendered propaganda. When real masculinity falters, political fantasy fills the gap. New post on visual exaggeration and "crisis masculinity" discourse and performance. inequalitybyinteriordesign.wordpress.com/2025/07/16/s...

Orthodox Christianity: Young US men joining 'masculine' Russian churches A religion with traditions dating back centuries is attracting young American men.

"Father Moses is championing a form of virile, unapologetic masculinity. Skinny jeans, crossing your legs, using an iron, shaping your eyebrows, and even eating soup are among the things he derides as too feminine."

New English language and UK citizenship requirements for migrants as part of government crackdown Sir Keir Starmer will say settling in the UK is a "privilege, not a right" as he lays out new rules to bring down net migration - but experts have questioned how effective they will be.

A 'contributions-based' citizenship model is not a citizenship model, but a form of selective club membership.

In #Turkey, CHP President Ozgur #Ozel punched in the face. Some will point out that this is an isolated gesture, but it is part of a wider context of criminalisation and demonisation of the main Turkish opposition party by the ruling bloc.

In Turkey, HudaPar, which is part of the ruling alliance, has proposed law amendments that target LGBTQ individuals and restrain the sexual lives of many others based on their Islamic beliefs.

There is a need to embrace discomfort and build spaces for intersubjective dialogue. I believe the ongoing democratic resistance in Turkey can facilitate (intersubjective) recognition between different contexts, which can pave the way for alternative political imaginations across the globe.

Using Turkey as a case study, I show how authoritarian populism operates and how public resistance demonstrates the potential for alternative political imaginations.

Resisting authoritarianism requires "negative capability"—tolerance for uncertainty and openness to new possibilities. I argue for "indistinctive boundaries", fostering mutual recognition and dismantling rigid divides.
