Wie viel Kultur steckt in Konflikten? In welchem Zusammenhang stehen etwa Geschlechterverhältnisse, patriarchale Herrschaft, mediale Manipulation und kulturelle Gewalt? Dieser Band fragt nach dem Anteil kultureller Aspekte bei der Entstehung und (gewalttätigen) Austragung von Konflikten. In den Beiträgen, die im interdisziplinären Forschungsnetzwerk »Kultur & Konflikt« (Klagenfurt) entstanden sind, nimmt der Terminus »Kultur des Friedens« die Rolle einer konkreten Utopie ein - visionär genug, um ein großes, längerfristiges Ziel abzugeben, und konkret genug, um sich ihm in messbaren Schritten zu nähern.

Humankind is on the transition to a supra-system of humanity, according to which social relationships – that organise the common good – are re-organised such that global challenges are kept below the threshold of a self-inflicted breakdown. In order to succeed, three conditions are imperative: (1) Global governance needs a global conscience that orients towards the protection of the common good. (2) Such global governance needs a global dialogue on the state of the common good and the ways to proceed. (3) Such a global dialogue needs global citizens able to reflect upon the current state of the common good and the ways to proceed to desired states. Each of these imperatives is about a space of possibilities. Each space nests the following one such that they altogether form the scaffolding along which institutions can emerge that realise the imperatives when proper nuclei are introduced in those spaces. Such nuclei would already support each other. However, the clue is to further their integration by Information and Communication Technologies. An information platform shall be launched that could cover any task on any of the three levels, entangled with the articulation of cooperative action from the local to the global, based on the cybersubsidiarity model. This model is devised to ensure the percolation of meaningful information throughout the different organisational levels. ; 2019-20
