12 promises by Jesus to those devoted to his sacred heart: I will give them all 
necessary graces;I will bring peace to their families;I will comfort them in their 
painful moments;I will give them a secure shelter (refuge) in their lives, but 
especially after their death; I will give blessings over all their enterprises;
Sinners will find in my heart the source and ocean of divine mercy; Those who 
propagate this devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus will have their names written in 
my heart

> Dear colleagues,
> 
> I am preparing to edit a volume for the Oxford Studies in
> Sociolinguistics series.  The book, tentatively titled [WINDOWS-1252?]“The Language
> of War and [WINDOWS-1252?]Peace,” will forward current and new perspectives on
> language use underlying the outbreak, conduct and resolution of
> military conflict around the world.  The book seeks to bring together
> critically informed perspectives that address these issues using
> discourse analysis and/or ethnographic methods.
> 
> Perspectives from around the world, especially including Africa, the
> Middle East, and [WINDOWS-1252?]Asia—as well as anthropologically based studies of
> the language of war and peace in traditional [WINDOWS-1252?]societies—are desired.
> 
> Topics or themes may include (but are not limited to) the rhetoric
> used to justify and gain support for war, the language of diplomacy
> used to avert or end war, debates over extraordinary rendition and
> torture, discourses about nuclear non-proliferation, the language of
> countering war (e.g. anti-war protests and the peace movement), the
> wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (particularly from the perspective of
> participants in the Middle East), the role of the media in circulating
> discourses about war and peace, issues of [WINDOWS-1252?]‘truth’ and propaganda, the
> construction of narratives about peace and conflict, etc.
> 
> The length limit for each chapter is 7,000-8,000 words inclusive.
> Contributors will be asked to submit chapters by November/December
> 2010.  The book will, of course, be subject to the usual peer review
> process.
> 
> If you are interested in contributing a chapter, please send an
> abstract to adamhodges at cmu.edu by July 15.
