“…Populist critiques of migrants have politicized the conservatism of certain migrant communities on the question of sexual minoritiesculminating in the emergence of a homonationalist discourse (Puar, 2007). Interestingly, Freude and Bosch (2020) find that Sweden has the fourthlargest homonational grouping in its population -with a high correlation between LGBT tolerance and racism.…”

This book explores how gender equality, a central part of the Nordic imaginary, is used in the political communication of Nordic states. The analyses presented move beyond conventional images and discourses of Nordic gender-and women-friendliness by critically investigating how and to what extent gender equality serves nation-branding in the Nordic region.Nation-branding is an unescapable part of globalisation, which is a market-oriented process dominated by the West and predicated on the creation of winners and losers. Hence, efforts to strengthen the national brand or reputation of specific Nordic countries with the aid of gender equality as a political and symbolic value inevitably help to reinforce already established global hierarchies where the Nordics play the role of moral superpower. This book comprises scholars from various fields of specialisation, and provides evidence and understanding for the growing interaction between gender-equality policies and nation-branding in all five Nordic countries. It does so by exploring a variety of policy fields and issues including women's rights, foreign policy, rape and legislation, female quotas and business policies, in addition to the index industry. The rise of the global indexes has reproduced forceful images of the Nordic countries as frontrunners of gender equality, which indeed help the Nordic countries to further position themselves as 'best at being good'. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Nordic gender equality in political science, sociology, law, criminology, political psychology and history, as well as those interested in nation-branding, Nordic studies and exceptionalism.

“…Aunque en la aproximación de Puar no se conceptualizan valores homonacionalistas, en la discusión sobre homonacionalismo el either-or-split en identidades y proyecciones sobre ellos -entre otredad racial y otredad sexual -es central. Los índices propuestos, y especialmente la correlación, miden la exclusividad y exhaustividad de otredad sexual y racial en la población y profundizan así unas primeras evidencias empíricas en trabajos anteriores (Freude y Vergés Bosch, 2020;Spierings, 2020).…”

El término homonacionalismo ofrece una nueva aproximación a la relación entre racismo y tolerancia con gais y lesbianas en sociedades contemporáneas. Este trabajo presenta un estudio comparativo sobre la extensión y evolución de valores homonacionalistas en Argentina, España, Países Bajos y Uruguay entre 1989-1993 y 2010-2014 siendo uno de los pocos trabajos cuantitativos en los estudios sobre homonacionalismo. Mediante el análisis de las oleadas de la World Value Survey para los distintos países, se operativiza el concepto para evidenciar la irrupción de los valores homonacionalistas en Europa a partir de 2001; así como su extensión a otras regiones propicias para la construcción de un excepcionalismo sexual. Los resultados si bien constatan su fuerte presencia en los discursos contradicen la hegemonía homonacionalista en los valores de las sociedades.

“…Furthermore, despite a context of increasing homonationalism, European LGBTI movements themselves have developed intersectional political consciousnesses and sought coalition with other movements—including those advocating on the behalf of immigrants and Muslims (Ayoub, 2019). Others have found that although there are groups in Western Europe that combine tolerance toward LGB people with racism and nationalism, tolerance toward homosexuality generally correlated with less racist and nationalist values (Freude & Bosch, 2019). Meanwhile, Zanghellini (2012) has argued that homonationalism is conceptually useful but overused and sometimes overstated, leading it to be over‐applied both by activists and academics when examining LGBTQ + activism.…”

“…The grounding in critical theory has certainly shaped current theoretical and methodological application of the concept in research. In particular, related work has overwhelmingly utilized qualitative methods (but see Freude & Bosch 2019). Understanding this background helps to contextualize how and why research on homonationalism has largely trended away from the original formulation's emphasis on practices within Western LGBTQ + groups and movements and toward an understanding of homonationalism as an emergent global discourse that legitimates inequality on a global scale.…”

“…With this definition of homonationalism, his analysis finds that any homonationalist discourse provides no particular boost to PRR vote‐getting, and that that most antimigrant, pro‐gay rights voters vote for the mainstream center‐right parties (see also Spierings, Lubbers, & Zaslove, 2017). Studying patterns from the European Values Studies data across 48 countries/regions, Freude and Bosch (2019) find that homonationalism (defined as “the combination of tolerance towards lesbians and gays, racism and nationalism in a neoliberal globalized world” p. 1292) is far from hegemonic but does exist, particularly in Western European nations. Such findings suggest cultural constructions of homonationalism may be operating in the political discourse in meaningful ways.…”

Conceptualizing homonationalism: (Re‐)Formulation, application, and debates of expansion

Although the concept of homonationalism is still relatively new, it has already undergone substantial reformulation from its original conception. Moreover, the concept has been the subject of substantial debate. Originally formulated by Jasbir Puar specifically in a US context, the concept sought to capture the reciprocal relationship between LGBTQ + movements/identities and nationalism/imperialism. The concept has since expanded in scope both geographically and analytically, applied to contexts outside of the United States, and increasingly analyzed as a global, inescapable phenomenon. This expansion has been sharply criticized with arguments that the concept has been overextended. Such critiques argue that the extension of the concept's scope has limited homonormativity's utility both critically and analytically. In this article, we seek to outline how the concept is applied and used as well as the debates emerging from the concept—and from its reformulation in particular. We also identify areas where further clarity related to the concept is needed. Given the concept's complexity and multifaceted usage, we suggest that future research engage carefully in the debates sparked by its development.
