>
>The colloquium intends to bring together scholars working in the area
>of  communication, culture, critical discourse analysis, literary
>criticism, peace research and related fields. Papers will be expected to
>examine the role of language as a factor to be considered with social,
>political and economic factors in any examination of the conditions and
>institutions that prevent the achievement of a culture of social and
>ecological peace. Peace, here, is understood in its most comprehensive
>sense as a dynamic process that aims to bring about the control and
>elimination of direct violence, e.g. war, and the development of social
>structures and values that work towards decreasing and eliminating
>indirect violence, i.e. social discrmination, poverty, ecological
>degradation.
>
>The colloquium is sponsored by the Peace Culture and Communication
>Commission and the Working Group on Language and Peace.
