Series: Bloomsbury Studies in Continental Philosophy. Publisher: India Bloomsbury 2015Description: xii, 210p.ISBN: 9789387863408.Subject(s): Philosophy -- Psychic trauma -- Social conflict -- Transitional justice -- RwandaDDC classification: 303.6 Summary: A New Philosophy of Social Conflict joins in the contemporary conflict resolution and transitional justice debates by contributing a Deleuze-Guattarian reading of the post-genocide justice and reconciliation experiment in Rwanda -the Gacaca courts. In doing so, Hawes addresses two significant problems for which the work of Deleuze and Guattari provides invaluable insight: how to live ethically with the consequences of conflict and trauma and how to negotiate the chaos of living through trauma, in ways that create self-organizing, discursive processes for resolving and reconciling these ontological dilemmas in life-affirming ways. Hawes draws on Deleuze-Guattarian thinking to create new concepts that enable us to think more productively and to live more ethically in a world increasingly characterized by sociocultural trauma and conflict, and to imagine alternative ways of resolving and reconciling trauma and conflict| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
