Abstract:

Given the prevalence of war around the world, it is vital to understand the
way discourse contributes to the promotion and positioning of war as a natural
or inevitable response to international problems. In addition, it is equally
necessary to examine the way discourse impacts projects of peace, which seek
to displace discourses of war with alternative visions of the world. This
volume examines specific contexts around the world in which discourse operates
in the service of war or to build alternative visions of peace. Contributors,
who have backgrounds in linguistics, anthropology, rhetoric, and communication
studies, draw upon discourse analytic and ethnographic methods to examine the
discourse used by politicians and social actors in societies across the globe,
including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Morocco, Ireland, the
Palestinian territories, and Japan. The book is divided into four sections
that foreground the political effects of discourse on issues of war and peace,
including the way discourse is harnessed to justify war (part I), negotiate
military deployment (part II), respond to armed conflict (part III), and
promote peace (part IV).
