Narrative/s in Conflict presents the proceedings of an
international workshop, held at the Trinity Long Room Hub Dublin in
2013, to a wider audience. This was a cross-disciplinary
cooperation between the comparative research network 'Broken
Narratives' (University of Vienna), the research strand 'Identities
in Transformation' (Trinity College Dublin) and the Graduate Center
for the Study of Culture at the University of Giessen. What has
brought this informal network together is its credo that theories
of narrative should be regarded as an integral part of cultural
analysis. Choosing exemplary case studies from early Habsburg days
up to the the wars and genocides of the 20th century and the
post-9/11 'War on terror', our volume tries to analyze the relation
between representation and conflict, i.e. between narrative
constructions, social/historical processes, and cultural agon. Here
it is crucial to state that narratives do not simply and passively
'mirror' conflicts as the conventional 'realistic' paradigm
suggests; they rather provide a symbolic, sense-making matrix, and
even a performative dimension. It even can be said that in many
cases, narratives make conflicts.
