Call for Papers "Reconsidering Conflict, Terror and Resolution" Interdisciplinary Conference Strathclyde Conflict and Resolution Group (SCAR), University of Strathclyde Glasgow, Scotland (UK) 11-12 September 2008 __________________________________________________ The Strathclyde Conflict and Resolution (SCAR) group is hosting an interdisciplinary conference which will analyse the themes of conflict, terror and resolution at various levels: past-present; private-public; local-global. In doing so it aims to reach across disciplinary barriers by bringing together experts from the whole of the social sciences spectrum, including (but not limited to) politics, history, law, sociology and psychology. Such a holistic analysis of conflict and terror will provoke, stimulate and question contemporary thought, while advocating the need for joint efforts to address common challenges. We welcome submissions, individual papers, as well as three paper panels, on any of the following or related themes: CONSTRUCTING CONFLICT Linguistic representation Visual representation Propaganda and spin Speech-acts and securitisation Collective memory Silencing of conflict Narratives of conflict War reportage EXPERIENCING CONFLICT Living with, and fleeing conflict Prisoners of war Implications for human rights Divided cities and sectarianism Conflict and the body Gendering conflict Conflict in schools and in the home The War on Terror MANAGING & RESOLVING CONFLICT Restorative justice Civic justice Just war and military intervention Diplomacy and multilateralism Culture and reconciliation Crisis and contingencies management International organisations Technologies of security Abstracts of 300-500 words and a one-page CV should be submitted by 31 March 2008 to: [email protected] A selection of papers will be considered for publication.
