Скачать или смотреть Authoritarian Patriarchy and its Populism - Inderpal Grewal | 2020 Hung lecture

ABOUT THE TALK

Theories of authoritarianism and populism are insufficient if they do not consider gender and sexuality in understanding authoritarian power. My paper examines forms of patriarchal and patrimonial power that remain central to producing the gendered conceptualizations of security and securitization we see today. While populisms are divergent in empire and postcolony, for instance in US and India, generated by grievances and disappointments of a waning empire on the one hand, and a failed modernization on the other, their authoritarian leaders are linked not just through similar modes of power and governance but also through shared technologies of security and protection.
