“…54 Where men are involved in challenging notions of masculinity and denouncing violence against women, they can challenge 'traditional imagery of power and violence' embodied in masculinities, which will ultimately lead to the formation of modified and reshaped social imagery. 55 Men, as 'gatekeepers of current gender orders' 56 must be involved in reshaping masculinities and working to eliminate violence against women, as 'more than anything, men and boys will listen to other men and boys'. 57 In addition, as men are often also oppressed by constructions of masculinity, albeit in a very different way than women, they have an interest in working to transform masculinities.…”

Increasingly, norms of masculinity are the focus of international development programmes aimed at eliminating violence against women, as it is recognised that harmful masculinities must be 'de-mystified', subjected to scrutiny and ultimately reconstructed in order for violence against women to be effectively eliminated. To what extent are these developments reflected in, and to what extent can they rely on, international human rights law as imposing an obligation on states to identify and address aspects of masculinities that cause and perpetuate violence against women? This article examines the positioning and construction of masculinities within the different understandings of violence against women in international human rights law. * BA, LLB (Hons) (Griffith); LLM (Public and International Law) (Melbourne); Socio-Legal Researcher, The Children's Legal Centre, United Kingdom.

This entry highlights the contribution to sociological theory of the work of Cornelius Castoriadis (1922–1997), the Greco‐French philosopher, economist, psychoanalyst, and post‐Marxist revolutionary. After growing up amid dictatorship and war in Greece, Castoriadis went to study philosophy in Paris, cofounding the libertarian‐socialist group and journal Socialisme ou Barbarie (1949–1967), many of whose ideas influenced the 1968 worker‐student uprising. As the journal's editor, Castoriadis initiated a series of thoroughgoing internal critiques of Marxist orthodoxy, advocating worker's self‐management, which he expanded into the radically democratic “project of human autonomy.” Castoriadis's mature work (exemplified in The Imaginary Institution of Society ), propounds an original ontology of indeterminate creativity to anchor his interdisciplinary and revolutionary critique of contemporary capitalist societies, offering a coherent alternative to both foundationalist social science and poststructural relativism. The interdisciplinary and political activist character of Castoriadis's writing has meant a slow reception in sociology but his conception of society as the contested institution of collective imaginaries in action has much to offer sociology's interpretive social action perspectives and critical theory. More recently, it has informed critical research in fields as diverse as sexual assault, civilizational analysis, urban social movements, aged care and mental health, disability, and the sociology of education.
