Abstract
Creative and artistic methods are increasingly popular in the study of peacebuilding, as scholars look for new ways to access the experiences and insights of communities in post-conflict societies. This article draws on recent creative peacebuilding work to create a three-point spectrum of aesthetic peacebuilding research approaches, with each point demonstrating an escalating commitment to creative approaches. The argument shows how deeper commitment to aesthetic research in peacebuilding raises increasingly foundational questions about the nature of peacebuilding, which have the potential to open up new avenues of peace research but may also undermine the entire project of peacebuilding.
