In the debate surrounding these bans, a ‘femonationalist convergence’ has\u0000 been identified by Farris (2012, 2017) in\u0000 which the nationalist political right, neoliberal policy makers, and some feminist organisations converge in adopting the language\u0000 of gender equality to argue that the burka is a symbol of patriarchal oppression. In this paper, I relate this femonationalist\u0000 convergence to the maintenance of hegemonic femininity, which can be broadly defined as the privileging of femininity that is\u0000 complementary to white supremacist capitalist patriarchy (hooks 2000). Using feminist\u0000 critical discourse analysis (Lazar 2005), I analyse the representation of Muslim women\u0000 in an article on the burka written by former Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, for The Telegraph in 2018. I show how\u0000 Johnson instrumentalises femonationalist discourse to justify his Islamophobic marginalisation of Muslim women. I conclude that\u0000 Johnson used this article to lay the groundwork for his Conservative leadership bid the following year and to garner popular\u0000 support for a shift to the far-right in British politics.","PeriodicalId":324436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict","volume":"34 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141658785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Responses, therefore, contribute to a broader right-wing (populist) project that substantiates the uncivil and ‘unsayable’ by subverting the civil and ‘sayable’ amid the emergence of borderline discourses (Krzyżanowski and Ledin 2017). I conclude that ‘anti-woke’ discourse has become a symbolic catch-all discursive strategy to bolster far right attitudes at the expense of abnormalizing the struggles faced by marginalized genders. This analysis thus provides further insight into how discriminatory ideologies become more viable political alternatives through rhetorical and discursive phenomena (Wodak 2015).","PeriodicalId":324436,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict","volume":"38 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141658441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While extensive scholarship connects language to genocide, the imbrication between gender, language and\u0000 genocide remains an under-researched subject. To further this discussion, I analyze female survivors’ memoirs to explore the\u0000 processes of semantic deprecation through metaphorization. Relying on cognitive semantics (Lakoff and Johnson 1980), I concentrate on euphemistic and dysphemistic metaphors that construct women’s identities in\u0000 terms of otherness, by means of zoosemic and reifying conceptualizations, among others. The sources under examination encompass\u0000 Jewish survivors Liana Millu (2001); Gisella Perl\u0000 (2019), and Anne-Lise Stern (2004), and non-Jewish resisters Margarete Buber-Neumann (2008); Wanda Półtawska (1989),\u0000 and Germaine Tillion (1997). Considering the relationship between metaphorical language and perceived stereotypes about women and\u0000 the feminine, and focusing on specific lexical items, I hope to unravel the nexus between linguistic aggression and patriarchal\u0000 structures in the concentration camp system. I argue that metaphorization reinforced women’s inferior position and perpetuated\u0000 gender stereotypes.
