Abstract [en]

Men have historically dominated the written word, in academia, research, science, histories, literature, religion and many further arenas. Often, this domination has taken the shape of men writing about men, and for men, generally implicitly so. In contrast, this chapter focuses on critical studies on men and masculinities (CSMM) and the ‘absence presence’ of men and masculinities within systems and relations of gender power and domination, drawing on the full range of feminist and critical gender and sexuality scholarship. The chapter examines some of the enduring theoretical debates in and around CSMM, focusing on naming and deconstruction; power, domination, hegemony and risk-taking and socially problematic practices. The chapter continues by examining institutionalization processes: the making, reproduction and change in more durable academic activities, structures and interventions of CSMM. These include study groups, research groups, teaching, research and publication. The concluding discussion addresses current divergences and challenges in and around CSMM, in geopolitics; individual and group political and ethical positioning and empirical and theoretical content.

Abstract [en]

This book aims to expand and enrich understandings of violences by focusing on gendered continuities, interconnections and intersections across multiple forms and manifestations of men’s violence. In actively countering, both, the compartmentalisation of studies of violence by ‘type’ and form, and the tendency to conceptualise violence narrowly, it aims to flesh out – not delimit – understandings of violence.

Bringing together cross-disciplinary, indeed transdisciplinary, perspectives, this book addresses how –what are often seen as – specific and separate violences connect closely and intricately with wider understandings of violence, how there are gendered continuities between violences and how gendered violences take many forms and manifestations and are themselves intersectional. Grounded by the recognition that violence is, itself, a form of inequality, the contributors to this volume traverse the intersectional complexities across, both, experiences of violent inequality, and what is seen to ‘count’ as violence.

The international scope of this book will be of interest to students and academics across many fields, including sociology, criminology, psychology, social work, politics, gender studies, child and youth studies, military and peace studies, environmental studies and colonial studies, as well as practitioners, activists and policymakers engaged in violence prevention.

Abstract [en]

This chapter brings together multidisciplinary and intersectional perspectives on the interconnections  and continuities across multiple forms and manifestations of violence. Grounded in an understanding of violence as gendered and “itself a form of social inequality, an unequal and unequalizing social structural division and relation of its own” (Hearn, 2012, p. 164), the contributors to this volume have sought to engage with violences as enactments of domination. The chapter reviews how this book has sought to focus on three, closely related themes: first, violences in the plural; second, men, masculinities, men’s violences and violent masculinities; and third, their intersectional gendered relations and interconnections. In the light of that, three issues arew reflected on: the kinds of violences examined by our contributors; the main interconnections stressed by them in their analyses; and the nature of these interconnections recognized; before comments and suggestions for future work for research, policy and activism.

Abstract [en]

This chapter overviews the focus, structure and cross-cutting themes of the handbook. It speaks to the unique nature of the handbook, which brings together essays from renowned feminist and gender studies academics from the ‘global North’ and ‘global South’, as well as emerging and established scholars. Structured in three parts, the volume offers an overview of the state of the art of feminist and gender studies across the globe in the last 40 years; identifies key cross-cutting theoretical debates and controversies and addresses methodological and empirical research questions signalling the need to promote new approaches. Notwithstanding the geopolitical diversity of the volume, the chapter surfaces emergent themes including the significant institutionalisation of gender studies; resurgence of attacks on feminist scholarship and activists; the strong presence of young scholars addressing new agendas; role of international organisation/s and transnational solidarities and challenges of neoliberal market logics and continued geopolitical inequalities in current academic forms of gender studies. The chapter further points to emergent topics, directions and paradoxes in feminist scholarship represented in the handbook.

Abstract [en]

The introductory chapter provides a rationale for the book, outlining how the gendering of men’s violence in specific fields have failed to consider the interconnections, intersections, and continuities between these fields. Naming only some violences as gendered enables other violences to go unmarked. We argue that that all violences are gendered, even when they are not perpetrated by men. We review the key issues in specific fields of gendered violences including men’s violence against women, children and young people, other men, gay, trans and non-binary people, disabled people and men’s violence against themselves. We also consider how gendered violence is enacted through colonialism, militarism and war, and in relation to non-human animals and the environment, as well as through epistemic injustice.

Abstract [en]

This Handbook is an important contribution to the recent history of and contemporary debates on feminist, gender, and women’s studies seen in a global perspective. It tackles current developments in the area by examining their multiple configurations in different countries across the world and taking stock of the tensions and controversies that have recently emerged against and within the field. The volume brings together essays from renowned feminist and gender studies academics from the Global North and Global South, together with early stage, emerging scholars. The diversity of the geopolitical and disciplinary locations and the quality of their reflections provide rich, wide-ranging, and interdisciplinary discussions that are rarely found in similar collections, making this an essential resource for advanced students and academics in the field.

Abstract [en]

Gender-based has recently gained increased attention in the European policy landscape. Since 2019, multiple calls and recommendations addressing gender-based violence have been produced (the Helsinki Call for Action 2019, SWG GRI 2020). In a significant move in 2021, the European Commission (EC) introduced Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) as an eligibility criterion for Horizon Europe (2021–2027), with measures against gender-based violence, including sexual harassment, as one recommended thematic area. Simultaneously, the 2021 European Parliament (EP) resolution (2019/2164(INI), drew attention to sexual harassment among women students in science, technology, engineering, and medicine fields, urging EU Member States and educational institutions to enact zero-tolerance policies, establish codes of conduct, create safe reporting channels, and report cases to relevant authorities. Acknowledging the need for coordinated efforts, in 2021, the Ljubljana Declaration on gender equality in research and innovation, endorsed by 37 parties, including the EU27, the EC, Associated Countries, Accession Countries and third countries, emphasised the lack of cohesive infrastructure and procedures addressing gender-based violence in academia.

Abstract [en]

This article critically interrogates and evaluates the concept of political masculinities as part of enhancing dialogue between political science and critical studies on men and masculinities. It discusses what counts as masculinity, what counts as political and how they connect. The connections are all too clear in mainstream politics, not only in populist, authoritarian, ethnonationalist and militaristic politics but also in democratic, socialist and various activist politics. The evaluation of the concept of political masculinities is conducted by asking three main questions: how does the concept add to, complement or contradict existing and established external concepts and theories? How is the concept constructed internally, and with what structure, elements and interrelations? And how can the application of the concept be possibly extended into fields beyond those usually recognized and labelled explicitly as specifically political fields, including the politics of the everyday and the politics of multiple global crises?

Abstract [en]

Diversity and management, and their intersections, are not often connected with critical analyses of men and masculinities, and certainly not routinely so. In contrast, this chapter focuses on some of the ways that critical analyses of men and masculinities have multiple implications for discussions on diversity and management, whether theoretical, research-based, policy-driven or practical, along with the associated questions of (in)equality, inclusion/exclusion, discrimination, and intersectionality. The chapter begins with a review of recent developments in critical studies on men and masculinities, as a sub-field of feminist, gender, women’s and queer studies. It continues with the implications of current debates for critical analyses of, first, men and masculinities in management and managing, second, diversity among men and masculinities, and, third, diversity management. International, intersectional and informational issues are highlighted.
