Abstract

Anthropological peace research investigates the socio-cultural conditions and dimensions for peaceful, (more-than-)human coexistence. The starting point for this was research on Peaceful Societies in the 1960s, which was later extended to Peace Systems. Since the 2000s, anthropological research in the field of transitional justice and local peacebuilding has been concerned with peace-building processes in multidisciplinary research fields. This changed the object of anthropological peace research and its interdisciplinary reception. Research on Peaceful Societies tended to focus on small, often indigenous and partly essentialised communities, and worked with classical theoretical approaches such as evolutionism, symbolic anthropology and ethno-psychology, but was scantly noticed outside its own discipline, with the exception of behavioural research. The more recent anthropological peace research takes a broad spectrum of social actors beyond small indigenous societies into consideration, focuses on peace-building processes and enriches the interdisciplinary exchange with approaches, concepts and methods such as ethnography, frictions and a focus on local perspectives and strategies for action. These research fields jointly highlight socio-cultural conditions – such as symbolic orders and values, violence-reducing strategies and procedures, social and economic structures – that enable societies and social groups to establish and maintain peaceful coexistence. This may offer fruitful insights for peace psychology. Interlinking these fields of research more closely and bringing recent theoretical debates, such as the ontological turn or a decolonial anthropological practice, more strongly into interdisciplinary dialogue seems necessary for further consolidation of anthropological peace research in an interdisciplinary context.
