Drawing on fieldwork conducted in Italy among political activists
of the LGBTIQ movement and the traditionalist movement during the
"anti-gender" campaign, this book provides a dynamic picture of
their sustained interactions. Through an analysis of the
contentious strategies, discourses, and performances of both the
LGBTIQ and the traditionalist movements from a strategic
interactionist perspective, it considers the key actors involved in
this struggle over normative and social change, showing how
activists on both sides are confronted with different dilemmas,
influencing each other's choices, practices and identities at the
individual and collective levels. Approaching social movements as
interactive processes, the author deploys the concepts of social
performance and gender performativity to illustrate the ways in
which activists interact with and within gender norms, and how they
reproduce or contest gender hierarchies as they protest, thus
revealing the centrality of gender to the analysis of processes of
recruitment and mobilization, strategies, frames and forms of
organization. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and
political science with interests in social movements and gender.
