项目摘要

Civilians living amidst violent conflict, like everyone experiencing conflict, know who is involved, the history what it makes it worse or lessens the impact on them. They have knowledge that those outside the conflict do not possess. The dominant peace and conflict intervention strategies of international agencies and NGOs begin with assessing the conflict situation using models based on western understanding of conflict trajectories, community resilience and peacebuilding, with an outsiders understanding. Although local people may be involved, their knowledge is rarely informing intervention and support strategies. This research will show the importance of placing local, contested, knowledge in the centre of intervention strategies, empowering and enabling local people and potentially making interventions more effective.The research takes a case study of local conflict knowledge in Karen and Mon areas of Myanmar, training local researchers to use storytelling, arts and craft approaches to enable local people to represent and share their knowledge in culturally appropriate ways, through which they share their understanding of the conflicts, violence and peace strategies. The content of what they produce will be mapped onto the existing conflict analysis of the local partner in order to analyse the themes and gaps.The local partner is Nonviolent Peaceforce, an NGO who provide unarmed civilian peacekeeping and protection of civilians to local communities around the world. They have been in Myanmar since 2012 and the results of this research will enable them to be more able to capture and use local knowledge about the conflicts, violence and peace to inform future project choices.This international and innovative research will impact on local people by making their voices louder and clearer, on Nonviolent Peaceforce interventions by potentially making them more effective, and on academic and policy approaches to conflict analysis, 'the local', and the types of knowledge used in understanding conflict and peace. It crosses peace and conflict studies and arts disciplines, adding methodologically and to the way we teach about conflict knowledge.

生活在暴力冲突中的平民，就像每个经历冲突的人一样，知道谁参与其中，了解历史，它使情况变得更糟或减轻了对他们的影响。他们拥有冲突之外的人所不具备的知识。国际机构和非政府组织的主导和平与冲突干预战略首先使用基于西方对冲突轨迹、社区复原力和和平建设的理解以及局外人理解的模型来评估冲突局势。尽管当地人可能参与其中，但他们的知识很少为干预和支持策略提供信息。这项研究将展示将当地有争议的知识置于干预策略中心的重要性，赋予当地人权力和帮助，并有可能使干预措施更加有效。该研究以缅甸克伦族和孟族地区的当地冲突知识为案例研究，培训当地研究人员使用讲故事、艺术和手工艺的方法，使当地人能够以文化上适当的方式表达和分享他们的知识，通过这种方式他们分享他们对冲突、暴力与和平的理解策略。他们制作的内容将映射到当地合作伙伴现有的冲突分析中，以分析主题和差距。当地合作伙伴是非暴力和平力量，一个非政府组织，为世界各地的当地社区提供非武装的民事维和和保护平民服务。他们自 2012 年以来一直在缅甸，这项研究的结果将使他们能够更好地获取和利用有关冲突、暴力与和平的当地知识，为未来的项目选择提供信息。这项国际性创新研究将通过让当地人的声音更响亮、更清晰来影响当地人民，通过潜在地提高非暴力和平力量干预措施的有效性，以及冲突分析的学术和政策方法、“当地”以及用于理解冲突与和平的知识类型来影响他们。它跨越了和平与冲突研究和艺术学科，增加了我们教授冲突知识的方法和方式。
