SUMMARY:The Higher Research Seminar: Lisa Strömbom\, Lund University - “
 Agonistic Memory and Peace”
DESCRIPTION:Contact: annika.bjorkdahl@svet.lu.se\n\nAgonistic Memory and Pe
 ace: Colombia\, Northern Ireland and Israel-PalestineInvestigates memory i
 nitiatives in three of the world’s hardest to solve conflicts and how th
 ey can be invested with more constructive dynamicsAgonistic memory work as
  a framework for conflict transformationIn-depth case studies from Colombi
 a\, Israel-Palestine\, and Northern IrelandCareful historical tracing of m
 emory politics in zones of protracted conflictAgonistic memory dialogues a
 s potential site for conflict transformationThis is a book about the power
  of memory in fractured societies and initiatives that resist pressures to
  simplify history. It traces the intricate pathways of local dialogue init
 iatives in three of the world's most emotionally charged conflicts: Colomb
 ia\, Israel-Palestine\, and Northern Ireland.There\, the past is always co
 ntested terrain—it is present\, alive and deeply political. The book dra
 ws on agonistic peace theory\, which proposes continued contestation\, dis
 cussion and disagreement - in non-violent\, constructive forms - as the mo
 st productive way to transform violent conflicts.Focusing on how local org
 anisations can work to facilitate dialogue about conflict memory\, the ana
 lyses rely on interview-based case studies where organisations working on 
 bringing people together to juxtapose their memories of these conflicts ar
 e probed. The results underline that safeguarding dialogue spaces\, stimul
 ating counter-hegemonic forces and the circulation of memory between memor
 yscapes at different scales are crucial enabling factors for successful ag
 onistic memory work.Open access: Agonistic Memory and Peace: Colombia\, No
