  abstract     = {{This thesis examines how gender operates as a central discursive and hegemonic organizing principle in the construction of Danish radical right populism, with particular focus on the Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti) and the Citizens’ Party (Borgernes Parti). Drawing on Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis, the study investigates how textual, discursive, and social practices interact in the production of “the ordinary people” in opposition to constructed Others. The theoretical framework combines Judith Butler’s concept of gender as a performative construction, Ruth Wodak’s work on the politics of fear and Cas Mudde’s understanding of populism as a thin-centered ideology. The analysis demonstrates that gender is not merely a thematic issue but functions as a symbolic glue that connects nationalist and populist discourses. Biological-essentialist notions of gender are consistently linked to ideas of national cohesion and Danish identity, producing a hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate subject positions. The thesis concludes that these patterns contribute to a broader transnational populist radical right discourse order, in which gender and identity politics are used to symbolically define national boundaries.}},
