About Book

This book explores corporeal peacebuilding, focusing on how peace manifests through bodily experiences and encounters rather than being an abstract political or institutional process. It challenges mainstream Peace and Conflict Studies, which often neglect the physical and emotional dimensions of peace. Key arguments include: ✔ War and peace as bodily experiences – How conflict and post-conflict transitions are embodied. ✔ Witnessing and memory – The role of wounded, silenced, and resistant bodies in shaping peace processes. ✔ Feminist and post-colonial perspectives – Highlighting gendered and marginalized experiences in peacebuilding. ✔ Temporal and spatial violence – Examining how violence transfers across time and space, affecting peace processes Chapter Highlights: ✔ Corporeal and Mundane Dimensions of Peace – Rethinking peace beyond institutional frameworks. ✔ Abjected and Silenced Bodies – How certain voices and experiences are erased in peace narratives. ✔ Post-Colonial Peacebuilding – Examining peace through the lens of historical and ongoing colonial structures. ✔ Returning Body & Memory – Understanding trauma and its implications for sustainable peace.
