Abstract
At this event, the editors of Dialogue Theories II and chapter authors will
be giving an overview of the book, sharing some insights from their
research into diverse dialogue theorists, and commenting on their hopes for
the further development of academic exploration of dialogue. Reviewers from
different fields will offer their responses to and assessments of the book
and there will be time for questions and comments from the floor.
Dialogue Theories II aims further advances the theoretical and practical
engagement with dialogue by introducing an additional fifteen individuals
who have made important and insightful contributions to thought in this
area. Distinguished authors from a range of professional backgrounds in
academia and dialogue practice present thinkers whose work they know
intimately. The book is intended to inform and inspire anyone with an
interest in the meaning and value of dialogue. Dialogue Theories II is a
companion volume to the Dialogue Theories book published in 2013, which
presented ten other thinkers, both of which complement the regularly
published Journal of Dialogue Studies.
The thinkers presented in the book come from diverse fields ranging from
philosophy to family therapy and from sociology to music. In the contexts
of intractable conflict, bitter political polarisation and complex economic
and ecological crises, ‘dialogue’ is often raised as an alternative or as
part of a solution. From Bakhtin, Barenboim, The Circle of Seven to Freire,
Gadamer, Goffman and Ikeda, the thinkers introduced here delve deeply into
what dialogue is and what it might be capable of.
