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.
