Dictionary of War | At least, when we create concepts, we are doing something.
Interesting resource.

DICTIONARY OF WAR is a collaborative platform on the issue of war – presented by scientists, artists, theorists and activists at four public, two-day events in Frankfurt, Munich, Graz and Berlin.

DICTIONARY OF WAR is about polemics in various respects: It seeks confrontation with a reality that is characterised by the concealment of power relations the more that one talks about war and peace. But it is also about finding out to what extent war may function as an “analyzer of power relations” that constitutes current changes.

From Martha Rosler’s discussion (see link Torture, Terror, Tranquility):

In 1982 I picked up a copy of the leading newsmagazine Newsweek with a painting on the cover, a modest portrait of a seated, ordinary looking young woman, but with exposed breasts. The headline was THE NEW REALISM. I flipped through to the first article, a full-page guest editorial, “The Case for Torture.” I was shocked, as I was meant to be, for this article was a provocation. US president Ronald Reagan was belligerently ratcheting up the Cold War, smashing Jimmy Carter’s détente by planting nuclear Cruise missiles in Western Europe … and some obscure nut had made his way onto Newsweek’s front page arguing for the US to embrace torture as policy? Officially, of course, the nation was on the side of justice and human rights. Torture by the Latin American military and death squads reportedly took place under the eye and even the tutelage of the US—all unreported in the mainstream. News of widespread torture and brutalization of prisoners and suspects in Vietnam had likewise been swept under the rug. As signatory to the Geneva Convention, the United States insisted on the need for dignified and humane treatment of military prisoners—at least in public.
