| description | Through the mobilization of the “gender ideology” discourse, neoconservative actors are promoting a transnational questioning of gender policies and theories. This discourse has gained relevance in recent years and is having an impact on various institutions and public processes. This article seeks to synthetically analyze the main ideas that make up the “gender ideology” discourse, focusing on how it builds a boundary between “us” and “other”. To do this, the texts produced from the 1990s to date by various neoconservative actors in the Americas and Europe are analyzed, paying special attention to those that had the most impact and dissemination. After making a brief genealogy of the “gender ideology” discourse, the concept of “total enemy” is proposed to highlight how this discourse produces an imaginary where the “other” is thought in epistemic, ideological, moral, and geopolitical terms, shaping the image of an adversary that evokes various moral panics that encourage mobilization. “Gender ideology”, more than a concept aimed at describing a phenomenon, is a mobilization and convocation strategy, a model of political subjectivation. |

Mediante la movilización del discurso de la “ideología de género”, actores neoconservadores están promoviendo un cuestionamiento transnacional a las políticas y teorías de género. Este discurso ha cobrado relevancia en los últimos años, logrando impactar en diversas instituciones y procesos públicos. Este artículo busca analizar sintéticamente las principales ideas que conforman el discurso de la “ideología de género”, focalizándose en el modo en que construye una frontera en un “nosotros/as” y un “otros/as”. Para ello, se analizan los escritos producidos desde los años 1990 hasta la fecha por diversos actores neoconservadores en las Américas y Europa, poniendo especial atención en aquellos que tuvieron más impacto y difusión. Luego de realizar una breve genealogía del discurso de la “ideología de género”, se propone el concepto de “enemigo total” para destacar cómo este discurso produce un imaginario donde el “otro/a” es pensado en términos epistémicos, ideológicos, morales y geopolíticos, conformando la imagen de un adversario que evoca diversos pánicos morales que alientan a la movilización. La “ideología de género”, más que un concepto orientado a describir un fenómeno, es una estrategia de movilización y convocatoria, un modelo de subjetivación política.
