The universalization of Western peace frameworks, which remain discursively tethered to liberal notions of freedom, markets, democracy and justice, continues to be the subject of critique in the peace and conflict literature. These critiques lay bare the imposition of Western power at the ideological and instrumental levels, patent disregard for local particularities, and general indifference to coloniality as an analytic in peacebuilding practices, policies and scholarship. In this chapter, we reference decolonial peaces that centre the everyday, typically subordinated by liberal constructions of peace. The perspective of the everyday is able to resist constructions of peace that are decontextualized and disembodied, and privileges a reading of the micro-politics of space, subjectivity and relationality, how individuals and communities enact peace, how peacebuilding praxes are contested, negotiated and constructed at the local level, and how these inform more critical approaches to peacebuilding. Against this backdrop, we contend that the affect-social nexus is a central site of analysis in peace praxes. We employ the conception of “politico-affective space” as an interpretive frame through which to consider the performance of decolonial everyday peaces. We illustrate the constitutive enactments of politico-affective space through a critical reflexive analysis of a community-based, participatory peacebuilding intervention in South Africa that seeks to recover decolonial peaces in the everyday. Specifically, we reference our analysis to the concepts of radical hope and critical agency as they represent a counterpoint to the liberal peace. Accordingly, we offer this chapter towards decolonial ways of knowing, doing and being as a critical imperative in researching issues of peace, conflict and power. Our contribution may thus be read as an intervention that encourages peace researchers and activists to reconsider what constitutes method and methodology. We hope that our chapter will contribute to the critical agenda for peace as it evolves to truly account for the pluriversality of context, history, experience, epistemology and ontology.
