“Transn ational Struggles: Anti-Liberal Hungary’s Discourses on Gender, Sex, and Reproduction”

Hungary is my focus, but a nation-focus mi sses the ironic fact that far-right nationalist imaginaries are incited not only by “home” but by remote organizations, their funding and circul ating discourses. Equally, the opposing struggle at ‘home’ for gender eq uality, the rights of women and sexual minorities is also transnational, working through networks of NGOs and international governance. I track several recent public clashes in Hungary around gender and reproduction showing the contrasting values and influence of these opposed networks, as revealed in their discursive/semiotic strategies of persuasion. Recip rocating these effects, how does PM Orbán influence the United States, R ussian, and European Union politics?
