BARCENAS BARAJAS, Karina. 2018 Presidential Elections in Mexico: Religious Citizenship against “Gender Ideology”. Estud. sociol [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.114, pp.763-793.  Epub 25-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-6442.  https://doi.org/10.24201/es.2020v38n114.1842.

This paper explains how, during the 2018 presidential elections in Mexico, in the context of evangelical politicization (predominantly Pentecostal and neo-Pentecostal) against “gender ideology”, the National Front for the Family, as a civil society actor, engaged in religious citizenship practices from the digital public sphere, for the purpose of governance. The analysis underlines the fact that the mobilization of beliefs from the digital public sphere to achieve the recognition of religious rights was articulated on the basis of three strategies: the construction and appropriation of an imaginary about “gender ideology”, the elaboration and defense of a discourse on “false rights” and the conditioning of political actors through the protest vote, as well as surveillance and symbolic sanction.

Palabras llave : gender ideology; religious citizenship; interreligious civil society; secularity; governmentality.
