There has been growing concern about the increase in gender-based violence (GBV) among young people. The aim of this study was to explore the grey zones in GBV alongside gender (masculinities and femininities) discourses in young adults. We used the concept of a "grey zone" as an analytical tool to identify possible contradictory discursive positions where the notions of victims and perpetrators of GBV converge and become ambiguous. We performed a qualitative study based on 20 semi-structured interviews and 4 focus groups (October 2019 to February 2020) in Spain with a sample of 49 cisgender women and men, aged between 18 and 24, some involved in feminist activism and some not. We conducted a sociological analysis of the discourse system. Study findings show how culturally constructed gender norms intervene in the ways in which young people understand and deal with GBV. When asked general questions about GBV, this concept was problematized along with gender assumptions and two discursive positions were identified: the discourse of "men as authors of GBV" and the discourse of "GBV as an individual genderless issue." When vignettes of everyday GBV situations were shown, grey zones became visible when discussing subtle forms of GBV influenced by the myths of romantic love, victim-blaming around sexual violence, digital GBV and bystander men intervention on GBV. In those grey zones, discourses on GBV were articulated around unequal notions of gender that, in turn, served as its justification, reproduction, and normalization. The grey zones identified represent contexts of oppression that illustrate how GBV is systematically reproduced, as well as the ways in which young people can be involved in it, perpetuating power and health inequalities. Our findings provide information as a guide to design GBV interventions and prevention actions that incorporate a focus on gender configurations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Positive masculinities ,Medicina Preventiva y Salud Pública ,Violence against women - Abstract
Violence against women (VAW) is one of the world’s most persistent and destructive societal problems. It does not occur in isolation as it is strongly influenced by the ways gender relations are constructed and by the ways femininities and masculinities are culturally represented and negotiated in daily interactions. Many of the beliefs, behaviours and attitudes that sustain VAW are related to gendered expectations and norms. That is why it is so important to work on our understanding of gender relations and roles in VAW prevention. This educational intervention guide was created in the context of the PositivMasc Project, which was carried out from 2019-2022 by researchers in Ireland, Israel, Spain and Sweden and funded by the GENDER-NET European research network. The PositivMasc project aims to explore discourses of non-violent forms of masculinity and ways in which to support and promote positive masculinities for the prevention of VAW among young people and in society (Salazar et al., 2020). In fact, more positive expressions of masculinities (non-violent, inclusive, empathetic, caring, or egalitarian) are emerging in society, advocated by women and men fighting against different forms of VAW (Elliott, 2016). One of the key concepts underpinning this document is positive masculinities, which refers to potential alternatives to hegemonic masculinity and ways of promoting more inclusive, empathetic, caring and equitable forms of manhood and gender equity (Foley et al., 2015; Pérez-Martínez et. al, 2021). As part of the PositivMasc project goals related to research dissemination and research impact, we present this guide which includes a conceptual toolbox and activities for engaging young people in actively rethinking gender relations and promoting gender-equitable and healthy relationships free of VAW. This work was supported by GENDER NET Plus Co-Fund (reference number 2018-00968). We also want to acknowledge the financial support received from the Swedish Research Council (Grant number: 2018-00968); the Irish Research Council; The Ministry of Science & Technology of Israel (3-15662) and the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain (Ref.

In the field of violence against women (VAW) prevention, one of the current questions at stake is how to address men’s role and masculinities, but it is still an emerging field in Spain. The aim of this study was to analyze the up-to-date discourses on masculinity among stakeholders in the field of VAW prevention and gender equity in Spain. We used a qualitative methodology with semi-structured interviews, conducted between October 2019 and February 2020 in Madrid and Alicante (Spain), with 23 key stakeholders from different areas: in governmental (public health and VAW prevention/intervention, and institutional and policy positioning) and nongovernmental organizations (anti-violence masculinities workers, youth education workers, and feminist and LGBT associations). A discourse analysis was performed with the data collected. Our findings showed that discourses around masculinities among Spanish stakeholders in VAW prevention and gender equity were diverse and presented different layers of critique. Despite a general agreement on the importance of transforming sexist men’s practices toward more gender equitable relations, three main interpretive repertoires were identified: “Constructing positive/new masculinities” discourse, focused on promoting men’s engagement and egalitarian practices; “Deconstructing hegemonic masculinity” discourse, intended to critically identify and question harmful masculinities norms; and “Abolishing gender” discourse, which aims at dismantling masculinity, and gender in general, as a social structure that generates oppression in itself, advocating for its abolition. Those interpretive repertoires were not mutually exclusive and sometimes stakeholders incorporate in their work more than one approach. The study findings shed light on this current emerging and urgent debate and contributes more broadly to the critical assessment of the concepts used and their implications for VAW prevention.

Partint d'estudis acadèmics de gènere i recerques qualitatives, feministes i etnogràfiques anteriors, aquesta tesi adopta un enfocament socioantropològic alhora que explora una sèrie de reflexions crítiques i creatives sobre les pràctiques i les relacions de gènere derivades del comportament antisexista que adopten avui alguns homes a Itàlia i Espanya. A més, s'ha d'entendre en un context de crisi econòmica neoliberal i de la societat de la informació. Empíricament, el nostre objectiu és analitzar de manera contextualitzada la manera com les pràctiques dels homes es poden reconfigurar materialment i discursivament cap a un canvi positiu. D'altra banda, en l'àmbit teòric, els nostres objectius són tres: en primer lloc, entendre i establir relacions genealògiques entre grups d'homes i les tradicions feministes amb les quals es relacionen; en segon lloc, investigar les vies de la seva política de masculinitat orientada al feminisme, i, en tercer lloc, oferir material aclaridor i contribuir, així, als debats políticament i acadèmicament rellevants en contextos de transformació de les relacions de gènere. Partiendo de estudios académicos de género e investigaciones cualitativas, feministas y etnográficas anteriores, esta tesis adopta un enfoque socioantropológico a la vez que explora una serie de reflexiones críticas y creativas sobre las prácticas y las relaciones de género derivadas del comportamiento antisexista que adoptan hoy algunos hombres en Italia y España. Debe, además, entenderse en un contexto de crisis económica neoliberal y de la sociedad de la información. Empíricamente, nuestro objetivo es analizar de manera contextualizada la manera como las prácticas de los hombres se pueden reconfigurar materialmente y discursivamente hacia un cambio positivo. Por otro lado, en el ámbito teórico, nuestros objetivos son tres: en primer lugar, entender y establecer relaciones genealógicas entre grupos de hombres y las tradiciones feministas con las que se relacionan; en segundo lugar, investigar las vías de su política de masculinidad orientada al feminismo, y, en tercer lugar, ofrecer material aclaratorio y contribuir, así, a los debates políticamente y académicamente relevantes en contextos de transformación de las relaciones de género. With previous academic gender studies and qualitative, feminist, ethnographical research laying its foundation, this thesis takes on a socio-anthropological approach while exploring a number of critical-creative elaborations on practices and gender relations resulting from contemporary, anti-sexist men¿s engagements in Italy and Spain. Moreover, it must be understood within a context of neoliberal economic crises and the information society. Empirically speaking, we aim to take a contextualized look at how men¿s practices can be materially and discursively reconfigured towards positive change. Meanwhile, on a theoretical level, our objectives are threefold: firstly, to understand and draw genealogical relations between groups of men and the feminist traditions they relate to; secondly, to investigate the pathways of their feminist-oriented masculinity politics; and, thirdly, to offer insightful contributions to politically and academically relevant debates in gender-transformative contexts.

Materialisme feminista ,materialismo feminista ,Feminist Materialism - Abstract
This special issue has been elaborated mostly with communications presented at the V New Materialist Conference on the 25th and 26th of September 2014, in Barcelona. Hosted by the Interdisciplinary Internet Institute at the Open University of Catalonia, this event was also the kick-off conference of the COST Action 1307: ¿New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on How matter comes to matter¿ and organized by the GENTIC research group in collaboration with many different European universities. Entitled ¿New Materialist Methodologies: Gender, Politics, the Digital¿, the conference has been a highly productive moment of intellectual contribution of ideas and content-wise papers around gender, methodologies, politics and digital cultures from a new materialist framework. The papers in this issue constitute a sample of very insightful approaches coming from various areas within the conference themes. Este número especial se ha basado mayoritariamente en las comunicaciones presentadas en el 5º Congreso Anual sobre los Nuevos Materialismos que tuvo lugar el 25 y 26 de septiembre en Barcelona. Acogido por el Internet Interdisciplinary Institute de la Universidad Oberta de Catalunya, este congreso fue el evento que dio inicio a la Cost Action ISCH IS307 «New Materialism: networking European scholarship on how matter comes to matter», organizada por el grupo de investigación GENTIC en colaboración con diversas universidades europeas y financiado parcialmente por el Instituto de la Mujer de España para resaltar opresiones estructurales (in)visibles. El encuentro de septiembre, titulado «New materialist methodologies: gender, politics, the digital» (Nuevas metodologías materialistas: género, política, lo digital) resultó altamente productivo por la contribución intelectual de ideas y contenido de las ponencias sobre género, metodologías, política y culturas digitales que partían del marco del nuevo materialismo. Los artículos de este número de Artnodes presentan una muestra de enfoques muy perspicaces procedentes de diversas áreas incluidas dentro de los temas del congreso. Aquest número especial s¿ha elaborat bàsicament amb les comunicacions presentades a la V New Materialist Conference, que es va celebrar a Barcelona els dies 25 i 26 de setembre de 2014. L¿esdeveniment, acollit per l¿Institut Interdisciplinari d¿Internet de la UOC, va servir igualment de trobada prèvia a la COST Action 1307 («New Materialism: Networking European Scholarship on How matter comes to matter»), i va ser organitzat pel grup de recerca GENTIC en col·laboració amb nombroses universitats europees. Amb el títol de «New Materialism Methodologies: Gender, Politics, the Digital», el congrés ha estat un intercanvi força productiu de contribucions intel·lectuals en forma d¿idees i ponències de contingut rellevant sobre gènere, metodologies, política i cultures digitals des d¿una perspectiva neomaterialista. Les ponències que conformen aquest número mostren un seguit d¿aproximacions molt valuoses des d¿àrees diverses relacionades amb els temes del congrés.
