DESCRIPTION:The structure of political conflict in Western democracies is 
 in a process of change. In this context\, there are widespread concerns t
 hat a new `culture war' spurred by polarizing identity politics could und
 ermine political integration. While much research has focused on right-wi
 ng identity politics around immigration and nationalism\, recent contribu
 tions discuss the potentially divisive character of left-wing projects. C
 ritics raise the possibility that salient demands to overcome racial and 
 gender inequality alienates particular groups of voters\, including those
  from lower classes. Despite these discussions about a ‘conservative back
 lash’ (in academia and society)\, we still have a limited understanding o
 f how these processes unfold. Does such backlash exist? If yes\, which fo
 rm does it take and what are its consequences? In particular\, what does 
 it mean for the way citizens engage with politics in everyday life? The t
 alk discusses these questions based on an extensive data collection in Ge
 rmany\, where feminist political mobilization has recently gained salienc
 e in broader societal discourse. Combining experimental and qualitative m
 ethods\, it treats conflicts about the use of gender-neutral language as 
 a keyhole issue to trace how gender-equality backlash develops. Observing
  the way citizens discuss this potentially divisive topic tells us a lot 
 about how cultural conflict influences political alienation\, affective p
 olarization and the willingness to express one’s views. On this basis\, t
 he talk reflects on the dynamics of ‘backlash processes’ and how they are
  shaped by the interplay of political entrepreneurs and experiences in ev
 eryday conversations.\n\nAbout Paul Marx\nPaul Marx is Professor of Polit
