- W2992435996 abstract "World War I was supposedly the 'war to end all wars', but it ushered in a century characterised by more destructive warfare. This article argues that the time is ripe for an institution devoted to the study of resistance to war, the civil society peace movement and reconciliation. Australia does not have a fully dedicated and focused peace museum. We can learn from the experience of peace museums overseas and we can organise abundant material already available in Australia. The Sydney Peace Prize, for example, could be a starting point. By building a peace museum we can enrich the imagination of the next generation and promote alternatives to war.A time for peace, I swear it's not too late'. This was #Λ the closing line of Turn! Turn! Turn! performed by the late Pete Seeger and others in the sixties. The lyrics of the song are words from the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament/Tanakh. Australia in early 2014 enjoyed a time of relative peace. It was relative peace compared with over a decade of involvement with war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but not peace in a fuller sense of the word. Australia is now, by contrast, embarking on a well-funded four-year program of war remembrance. At the official level there is little attention to peace-building. As I write, the Abbott government is sending defence force personnel back into Iraq.To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven ... A time to love, a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace'. In the ancient world the seasons influenced the cycle of planting and reaping. To some extent they still do in the contemporary world but industrialisation, world trade and globalisation dampen the influence of the seasons. Cyclic rhythms are constructed on the basis of the calendar and multiples of years. During the Anzac Centenary, the First World War will be remembered through many different public and community events. The risk in this enterprise is that war will be naturalised. War and peace are not natural seasons. The spring of peace is not inevitable. The descent into war and the achievement of peace are the result of human agency and cultural change.The Anzac Centenary is an opportunity to reflect upon the changes that have occurred in the last hundred years and to learn how to make wise decisions for the next century. At the official level the emphasis appears to be on memorialisation and 'preserving the legend'. At the community level, however, there is interest in alternative narratives. Anzac is being put back into its historical and political context and Australian militarism is being critiqued by peace groups such as Pax Christi (Pax Christi 2014).Time is both cyclic and directional. In the ancient world change was relatively slow and the cyclic aspect of time was incorporated into culture. In the contemporary world change, irreversible change, is very evident. Geologists now speak of the Anthropocene to recognise the agency of humankind in changing the face of the earth. These changes are observable from space and are experienced through species extinctions, resource depletion and climate change. In the twenty-first century our species, homo sapiens, numbering seven billion, puts enormous pressure on the whole of the biosphere. The maintenance, or gradual reduction of, such a population requires the achievement of sustainability and environmental repair. 'Business as usual' and militarisation are eroding the global life support system and doing irreversible damage to our planet.A Time for PeaceTwenty-first century technology and anachronistic thinking form a deadly cocktail. We delegate tasks to technologies but this is not without cost. Technologies constrain behaviour and have far-reaching social consequences. Warfare has tended to stimulate the production of increasingly destructive technologies.The wars and conflicts of the 20th century killed an estimated 231 million people, perhaps 85 percent of them civilians. …" @default.
