This contribution recounts from an autobiographic perspective how Wolfgang Dietrich got to the Many Peaces approach (Dietrich & Sützl, A Call for Many Peaces (= Schlaining Workingpapers/7). EPU, 1997) in the early years of his career as an academic practitioner. It describes how this idea has been gradually embedded into the academic debate on peace (Dietrich, Interpretations of Peace in History and Culture (= Many Peaces/1). Palgrave Macmillan, 2012; Elicitive Conflict Transformation and the Transrational Shift in Peace Politics (=Many Peaces/2). Palgrave Macmillan, 2013.) It discusses how the concept matured to Transrational Peaces in the frame of the so-called Innsbruck School of Peace Studies, the colloquial term for the 2001 founded MA Program in Peace, Development, Security and International Conflict Transformation at the University of Innsbruck in Austria (Dietrich, Interpretations of Peace in History and Culture (= Many Peaces/1). Palgrave Macmillan, 2012; Elicitive Conflict Transformation and the Transrational Shift in Peace Politics (=Many Peaces/2). Palgrave Macmillan, 2013). Consequently, the inclusive plural term peaces was introduced in the academic discourse and debate. Later in Dietrich’s career, he elaborated this further and proposed peacing as a verb, which allows focusing linguistically, rather on occurrences, relations and communication in human contexts than on individuals and their deeds. Since we do not speak languages, he argues with Rorty (Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. Princeton University Press, 1979), but languages speak us, this grammatical shift could open a wide range of new options for the international and global understanding of peacing. In short, this essay provides details about Dietrich’s personal peace journey and the evolution of the idea of many peaces and peacing.
