Abstract

ABSTRACT How can researchers do more than ‘do no harm’ and have a positive impact in the contexts in which they intervene? These are classic questions of PAR, which also apply to peace research. How can research practice contribute to peace? There is an intimate relationship between power, violence and silence. Hence, working with subalternised voices, subject to epistemic violence, poses a methodological challenge for social sciences in which words are data. This paper presents a research method that allows for constructive confrontation in contexts of terrorist violence in European cities, generally considered to be at peace. This method consists of organising public debate in collaboration with community organisations in a neighbourhood directly affected by the aftermath of a wave of terrorist attacks in France. In the case of the Université Populaire, the organisation of public debates allowed for the public expression of agonism, and was a source of hope and prefigurative politics. Exploring this case, this article contributes to discussions about how to deal with the challenges of pluralism within current peace research.

为斗争创造空间:为和平研究中的次要声音创造空间
研究人员如何做的不仅仅是“不伤害”,而且在他们干预的环境中产生积极的影响?这些都是PAR的经典问题,也适用于和平研究。研究实践如何促进和平?权力、暴力和沉默之间有着密切的关系。因此,研究次替代的声音,受制于认知暴力,对以文字为数据的社会科学提出了方法论上的挑战。本文提出了一种研究方法,允许在欧洲城市的恐怖主义暴力背景下进行建设性的对抗,通常被认为是和平的。这种方法包括与直接受到法国恐怖袭击余波影响的社区组织合作组织公开辩论。在人民大学的例子中,公共辩论的组织允许公开表达斗争,是希望和预示政治的源泉。通过对这一案例的探讨,本文有助于讨论如何在当前的和平研究中应对多元化的挑战。
