Abstract (may include machine translation)
„Gender-ideoloogia eirab olemasolevaid teaduslikke teadmisi.“ Jan Figeli, EL-i endise haridus- ja kultuurivoliniku üllatav väide (tsiteeritud teoses Kuhar 2014) viitab asjaolule, et „genderideoloogia“ debatt avab Euroopa poliitilisel, kultuurilisel ja sotsiaalsel maastikul uue peatüki, mis seab kahtluse alla eelnevad poliitilised lõhed. Kogumiku viis peatükki analüüsivad uut poliitilist nähtust – kümned tuhanded inimesed avaldavad tänavatel meelt ning koguvad rahvahääletuse tarbeks allkirju, omades seeläbi kontrolli oma riigi ühe kodanikerühma õiguste üle; samuti koostavad nad petitsioone, et muuta kõrghariduse õppekava (vt Pető-Vasali 2014). Kuigi demokraatlik poliitika on aina vähem ligitõmbav – üha vähem kodanikke käib valimistel hääletamas ja traditsioonilistel parteidel on raskusi noorte liikmete värbamisega –, lahendab uus liikumine näiliselt need osaluse kitsaskohad. Kas kõnealune nähtus on tõepoolest midagi uut või on progressiivne poliitika olnud lihtsalt ette valmistamata sellise arengu jaoks, mis aktsepteerib Fukuyama trööstivat nn „ajaloo lõpu“ teesi, mida ta tähistab sildiga „uus“, varjamaks selle puudulikkust?
"Gender ideology ignores existing scientific knowledge." A surprising statement by Jan Figel, a former EU Commissioner for Education and Culture (quoted in Kuhar 2014), suggests that the debate on 'gender ideology' is opening a new chapter in Europe's political, cultural and social landscape, challenging previous political divides. The five chapters of the collection analyse a new political phenomenon - tens of thousands of people demonstrating in the streets and collecting signatures for a referendum, thereby taking control of the rights of a group of citizens in their country; and petitioning to change the higher education curriculum (see Pető-Vasali 2014). While democratic politics is less and less attractive - fewer and fewer citizens vote in elections and traditional parties have difficulties recruiting young members - the new movement ostensibly solves these participation bottlenecks. Is this phenomenon really new, or has progressive politics simply been unprepared for a development that accepts Fukuyama's comforting 'end of history' thesis, which he labels 'new' to hide its shortcomings?
