Discourses of War and Peace examines specific contexts around the
globe in which discourse operates in the service of war and to
build alternative visions of peace. Contributors, who come from
backgrounds in linguistics, anthropology, rhetoric, and
communication studies, draw from discourse analytic and/or
ethnographic methods to examine the discourse used by politicians
and social actors in societies that include 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). The book has a
strong enthnographic component; in addition to chapters that employ
critical discourse analysis and narrative analysis, several
chapters incorporate ethnographic analysis into the examination of
language use. The book as a whole therefore provides complementary
perspectives on discourses of war and peace.
