„The Body is a Battlefield. A Proposal of Reframing UN Resolution 1820 for Sustainable Peacebuilding”

Sexual violence (SV) in- and outside of armed conflict is ubiquitous, timeless, ever-pervasive. Numerous conceptual and political milestones regarding the handling of SV have been achieved, the most prominent one in the realm of international frameworks being UNSCR 1325 (2000) as the groundwork for the Women, Peace and Security agenda (WPS). Its follow-up resolution UNSCR 1820 (2008) framed SV as a weapon of war and thereby made it a part of the Security Council’s mandate. This thesis applies the concept of generative metaphors by Donald A. Schön to the WPS framework and specifically to UNSCR 1820 to (1) show in which ways UNSCR 1820’s generative metaphor makes an insufficient “problem-story” for achieving its immediate goal of tackling SV as well as the long-term goals set by UNSCR 1325, and (2) to propose the alternative generative metaphor of sexual trauma as personal war, using a feminist narrative approach and exploring its possible implications.
