Abstract
Abstract:This article examines contemporary Nicaraguan politics to understand how gender conservatism structures the populist project of Ortega–Murillos (OrMu), the presidential couple. Through feminist discourse analysis of state texts, I examine the cultural strategies the regime uses to represent itself. I put this narrative into conversation with feminist critiques to outline how antifeminism is a central political strategy of the OrMu regime. By doing so, this article aims to demonstrate how the Nicaraguan case can advance our typologies of contemporary authoritarianisms and the social relations these political projects constitute.
期刊介绍：
Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
