Abstract

The triple planetary crisis (UNFCC 2022) threatens the very habitability of our planet. Taking this seriously, challenges ways of knowing, being and living in the Anthropocene that contribute to its destruction. Addressing peace in this context, requires alternatives to dominant anthropocentric understandings of peace and related categories. Drawing on emerging concepts in Peace and Conflict Studies as well as on critical, decolonial and feminist perspectives, this paper seeks to problematize the human supremacy of anthropocentric paradigms underlying dominant understandings of peace by investigating possibilities of conceptualizing peace through relationality with the more-than-human rather than its domination (Tynan 2021).
