THE SOCIOLOGY OF EVERYDAY LIFE PEACEBUILDING - ...

This book uses in-depth interview data with victims of conflict in Northern Ireland  South
Africa and Sri Lanka to offer a new  sociological conceptualization of everyday life
peacebuilding. It argues that sociological ideas about the nature of everyday life complement
and supplement the concept of everyday life peacebuilding recently theorized within
International Relations Studies (IRS). It claims that IRS misunderstands the nature of everyday
life by seeing it only as a particular space where mundane  routine and ordinary peacebuilding
activities are accomplished. Sociology sees everyday life also as a mode of reasoning. By
exploring victims' ways of thinking and understanding  this book argues that we can better
locate their accomplishment of peacebuilding as an ordinary activity. The book is based on six
years of empirical research in three different conflict zones and reports on a wealth of
interview data to support its theoretical arguments. This data serves togive voice to victims
who are otherwise neglected and marginalized in peace processes.
