- An-other Reading of Peace Construction in ELT Yeraldine Aldana Gutiérrez Filosofía historization peace construction decolonial perspectives English language teaching Critical discourse analysis Someone recently suggested to me: “war is more profitable than peace” (J. Rodríguez, personal communication, October 24th, 2017). This prompted my consideration of the idea that peace construction in multiple settings could entail purposes other than the taken-for-granted and literal ones (Aldana, in press). In this reflective article, within the journal’s language and conflict theme, I will discuss discourses related to the handling of peace construction in order to examine its transformation in governmental, academic and media documents up to 2019. Documents containing the word peace in various contexts were selected, and as such the period varied. The work is approached from my position as a mixed-race educator and researcher with a decolonial and critical epistemological perspective. This qualitative exploratory study approaches peace construction in ELT from a field of methodological uncertainties and a creative toolbox. Both historicizing and critical discourse analysis resources are employed in an inclusionary manner to achieve the eventualisation (Restrepo, 2008) of multiple ways of understanding and referring to the construction of peace in ELT. In this sense, the role of language appears as an underlying starting point. The results discuss the discourse about pacification for progress in ELT as a discursive event with different universal and market interests. It constitutes an alternative reading of peace construction in ELT as linked to seemingly disperse discursive events mediated by language in real documents. 2021 artículo científico 0120-8454 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=515568676007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5155/515568676007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5155/515568676007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5155/515568676007/515568676007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5155/515568676007/movil https://doi.org/10.15332/21459169.6300 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5155 Análisis.
