Subject: Teleconference: The Language of Conflict - Earn CLE!
TELECONFERENCE
The Language of Conflict and the Narrative Structure of Conflict Stories
JANUARY 11, 2011
12:00 - 1:15 PM Eastern Time
The language, syntax, metaphors, and narrative assumptions common to power- and rights-based political speech make it difficult to prevent and de-escalate violence, transform debates into dialogues, and come to grips with the adversarial, often painful issues that inform our most important conflict resolution choices. Thus, it is common in conflict to construct stereotypes, moral rationalizations, and false absolutes regarding an opponent in order to justify one's own unconscionable behaviors. Attendees will learn to bring a more nuanced, meditative, interest-based sensibility to the language of conflict and turn hostile denunciations and debates into appreciative disagreements and dialogues, and a number of techniques for transforming conflict stories and encouraging deeper levels of understanding.
