A multi-faceted power analysis of mens violence to known women: from hegemonic masculinity to the hegemony of men

• This article presents a multi-faceted power analysis of mens violence to known women, by way of assessing two main perspectives on research in men and masculinities: first, that founded on hegemonic masculinity, and, second, that based on the hegemony of men. Each perspective is interrogated in terms of understandings of mens violence to known women. These approaches are articulated in relation to empirical research, and conceptual and theoretical analysis. Thus this article addresses to what extent hegemonic masculinity and the hegemony of men, respectively, are useful concepts for explaining and engaging with mens violence to known women? The article concludes with discussion of more general implications of this analysis.
