Our project examines ways that the peace movement in the United States has responded discursively to both obstacles to and opportunities for mobilizing mass dissent. What are the main rhetorical strategies used by peace movement organizations (PMOs) in attempting to persuade the public and policy makers to oppose war and support peaceful alternatives? Do these strategies vary across organizations or over time? If so, what explains the variations? Building on Gramsci's concept of hegemony, we investigate the ways that cultural, political, technological and organizational factors affect the development of oppositional knowledge. We will analyze, qualitatively and quantitatively, official public statements issued by PMOs and posted to organizational websites or available through organizational archives. The data includes statements from 15 groups representing a diverse array of constituencies as well as spanning three separate conflict periods (the Gulf War, the 9/11 period, and the Iraq War), allowing for both comparative and longitudinal analysis. Our research will highlight cultural obstacles to generating mass dissent as well as the strategic choices and dilemmas facing activists in responding to these obstacles. Our research will also assist in conceptualizing the links between symbolic and structural processes impacting social movements. The innovative research design offers a useful template for subsequent analysis of framing by other social movements. The broader impacts of this project include the following: Our project will involve student assistants and will be available to student and faculty researchers who can utilize the data set to better understand empirical approaches to theoretical inquiry, computer-assisted data analysis, and the broader study of social movements, conflict, and social change. We will make available our findings through written work and presentations aimed at community groups with memberships traditionally under-serviced by our discipline, thus enriching the understanding of scholars, students and the larger public.

我们的项目研究了美国和平运动如何对动员群众异议的障碍和机会做出话语反应。和平运动组织（PMO）在试图说服公众和政策制定者反对战争和支持和平选择时使用的主要修辞策略是什么？这些策略是否因组织或时间而异？如果是这样的话，如何解释这些变化？基于葛兰西的霸权概念，我们探讨了文化、政治、技术和组织因素对对立知识发展的影响。我们将定性和定量地分析PMO发布的官方公开声明，并发布到组织网站或通过组织档案提供。这些数据包括来自15个团体的声明，代表了不同的选区，以及跨越三个独立的冲突时期（海湾战争，9/11期间，伊拉克战争），允许比较和纵向分析。我们的研究将突出产生大规模异议的文化障碍，以及活动家在应对这些障碍时所面临的战略选择和困境。我们的研究还将有助于概念化影响社会运动的象征性和结构性过程之间的联系。创新的研究设计提供了一个有用的模板，随后分析框架的其他社会运动。该项目的更广泛的影响包括：我们的项目将涉及学生助理，并将提供给学生和教师的研究人员谁可以利用数据集，以更好地了解实证方法理论探究，计算机辅助数据分析，以及更广泛的研究社会运动，冲突和社会变革。我们将通过书面工作和演示文稿提供我们的研究结果，旨在与会员传统上由我们的学科服务不足的社区团体，从而丰富了学者，学生和广大公众的理解。
