“…Within the roots of this tree that represents another set of possible articulations between PC and ELT, English teachers' wounds, tensions, struggles, motivations, frustrations, dreams… from their deepest beings show how language can also code dehumanizing practices. Gomes de Matos (2014) proposes peacelinguistics to reassert the role of language in provoking either PC or violence and conflict situations which are not always or necessarily physical or direct.…”

The English language teaching (ELT) field has undergone transformations regarding its views on knowledge and language. Although instrumental perspectives situate English teachers in a passive, receptive and technical position, their research and pedagogical work displays an interest in extracurricular phenomena about Peace Construction (PC) in ELT. This qualitative exploratory study aimed at unveiling possible connections between PC and ELT in Colombia. Documental revision and semi-structured interviews were applied with 4 English teachers. Findings discuss an organic metaphor as facilitating “teachers’ situated knowledge construction” (Serna, 2018, p. 585). Thus, a critical reflection is developed on how ELT and PC may articulate one another towards an alternative reading on their possible relationality or the reduction of the canonical distance imagined between these two fields, in order to acknowledge their interconnection. Conclusions around the multifaceted transdisciplinary ELT field are presented.

Resumo: O meu objetivo, neste artigo, é compartilhar uma reflexão inicial sobre um grupo de performances sociodiscursivas às quais tenho me referido como masculinidades bélicas, reflexão construída a partir de um diálogo indisciplinar com diferentes áreas do saber. Tendo como base a leitura crítica de duas performances e atendo-me ao contexto sociopolítico brasileiro atual, argumento que as masculinidades bélicas se caracterizam pelo engajamento dos sujeitos em práticas necrodiscursivas que (re)produzem enquadres de guerra em diferentes espaços sociais. Desse modo, sugiro o trabalho com letramentos pós-identitários como forma de estranhar textualmente os repertórios mobilizados por masculinidades bélicas, a fim de construir sentidos, performances e enquadres que desafiem o paradigma e a retórica da guerra, no Brasil contemporâneo.

When referring to peace, peacebuilding, and peace education, among others, some similarities and differences among them appear. Although some consider ELT as a peripheral field regarding peace construction, diverse enunciation modalities profile this interest. Inquiring into what, where, when and who, I analyzed 55 articles and 36 presentation abstracts for this qualitative study to unveil what is understood as peace construction in ELT. This revision presents six tendencies. Gaps and opportunities of research action for teachers are synthesized. Time/space coordinates of enunciation modalities in peace construction are displayed. I describe who the teachers behind some studies might be, regarding their locus of enunciation. Conclusion remarks around the diverse nature of peace construction are discussed, as representing those links between imagined separated fields.
