Corporeal Peacebuilding : Mundane Bodies and Temporal Transitions Hardback
by Tarja Vayrynen
Part of the Rethinking Peace and Conflict Studies series
Hardback
Description
This book demonstrates how peace is an event that comes into being in mundane and corporeal encounters.
The book brings living and experiencing, sentient body to Peace and Conflict Studies and examines war and peace as socio-political institutions that begin and end with bodies.
It therefore differs from the wider field of Peace and Conflict Studies where the human body is treated as an abstract and non-living entity.
The book demonstrates that conflict and violence as well as peace touch our bodies in multiple ways.
Through attending to witnessing, wounded, remembering, silenced and resistant bodies, the empirical cases of the book attest to the scope and diversity of war, peace and the political of post-conflict peacebuilding.
The book offers a sustained engagement with feminist social and political theory and will be of interest to academics and practitioners alike.
