Call for Papers Theme: Cultural Violence Type: 28th Annual Conference Institution: Concerned Philosophers for Peace (CPP) Loyola University Maryland Location: Baltimore, MD (USA) Date: 22.–24.10.2015 Deadline: 1.5.2015 __________________________________________________ Cultural violence refers to the aspects of a culture that can be used to legitimize direct or structural violence. Cultural violence limits our possibilities to imagine peaceful forms of living by normalizing direct and structural violence. Thus, to understand the causes of violence it is necessary to unmask the discourses that make it acceptable.
