Presentation:
We create our own future, but not entirely
as we choose. In this sense, we can describe the future of mediation as mediated
or negotiated, in part by our vision, values, attitudes, intentions, and
actions; and in part by the natural and historical conditions in which we live,
imagine, and act. For these reasons, it is impossible to bring about a
future for which the preconditions have yet to appear; nor can we imagine a
future for mediation until we have practiced and experienced it over an extended
period of time, and encountered its inherent limits.
Conflicts mark frontiers, the places where we weaken and
divide. Yet these same frontiers contain the forces that strengthen us,
bring us together, transform us, and dissipate our differences. Conflicts
probe our innermost natures, and the outermost limits of our being. They
provoke cruelty and compassion, competition and collaboration, revenge and
reconciliation. Mediation is the dangerous magic that moves us from one to
the other.
This session will consider the possibilities and
limitations of mediation; the internal and external frontiers of conflict
resolution; the relational spaces where things fall apart and come together
miraculously. It will include a consideration of political conflicts,
conflict resolution systems design, the politics of ethics and the ethics of
politics, conflict as a heart-based and “spiritual” crisis, and the need for a
wide-ranging “conflict revolution.”
