The essay prepared by Panchiba F. Barrientos is part of a set of efforts sustained over time that seek to contribute to reflection and share visions of transformation in the face of a fundamentalist scenario that puts democracy at risk.

Anti-Right Joints. Violence, hate speech and fundamentalism. An approximation of its impact in Chile Today makes a review of the "Anti-Right Movements", which it defines as "those phenomena that are played in the impulse of reactive mobilizations that are deployed in the face of the advance of the struggles for the recognition of sexual rights and reproductive and the demands of women, feminists and LGBTIAQ+ people”. In this sense, the author explains that it encompasses a broad set of transnational articulations around which religious actors, organizations from the civil world, politicians, state and intergovernmental agents and, also, a part of public opinion congregate.

In this way, the concept of "Anti-Right Movements" operates as an umbrella to refer to a series of manifestations within which are words such as fundamentalisms; reactionisms; anti-gender movements or anti-equality mobilizations. As well as, references to the demarginalization and normalization of the extreme right.

“When referring to anti-rights movements, we enter a global horizon of a reticular nature that we must think beyond isolated events (...) is the result of the intertwining of well-organized transnational and local apparatuses, which resonate within the framework of renewed nationalist imaginaries from where, from normative, exclusive and anti-democratic demands, it seeks to reimagine and twist some central concepts of the political: such as the idea of community, the senses of belonging, the notion of citizenship and the value of human rights and life”, reads the document.

Anti-rights Articulations... is built on the basis of three sections that seek to discuss some key notions about anti-rights movements, taking into account the different forces and reactionary alliances that come together in its formation.

In the first section, the issue of fundamentalisms is addressed, putting into play its origins and how it has evolved, beyond religious movements. Examples are also collected of the ways in which different fundamentalist forces have articulated in Chile at present, promoting double efforts in which, on the one hand, attempts are at stake to fully introduce themselves into traditional politics through the pursuit of quotas for popular representation and, on the other, spaces for growth and cooptation of secular spaces are promoted.

Secondly, the phenomena of the Far Right are addressed, proposing a general review of the ways in which the far right has been organized during the last decades both in Chile and in other territories -such as Brazil and the United States- making it clear that there is no These are not isolated situations, but forms of the political that are organized in clear and defined ways, even repeating strategies and rhetoric between countries and continents. In this way, reflections on the challenges that the extreme right poses today for democracy and human rights in our current political scenarios are staged.

Finally, in the third section anti-gender discourses are addressed, particularly in the so-called "gender ideology". Panchiba F. Barrientos reviews the ways in which anti-gender discourses and movements have been built over the last decades, taking as a framework of analysis, on the one hand, the developments of the gender concept within the framework of the intergovernmental negotiation spaces deployed from the 1990s; the development of the concept of gender ideology within the framework of the reactions against the advances and openings that were promoted in terms of human rights around the idea of gender and sexual and reproductive rights and; to the trans-exclusionary movements that have currently gained strength within the framework of some feminist positions.
