Abstract
The introductory chapter lays the research interest and methodological foundations of the book. It outlines the two main motivations of this research: to investigate how peace and dance have been related and what elements contribute to or limit the experience of peace, and to explore movement as method to elicit conflict transformation. I argue that peace theory and practice can be enriched by understanding peace and conflict as embodied, relational, and in movement, and by developing corresponding methods for transformation. I present popular education, multiple ways of knowing, and embodied writing as methods that inform the investigation. This chapter presents author´s perspective, research question, methods and structure, and state of the art.
