Ph.D. project
The Cyprus Conflict a Socio-Psychological Discourse Analysis
In her PhD Dr. Rehrmann has undertaken a discourse analysis of the Cyprus Conflict in socio-psychological perspective.
Drawing on the driving forces of intractable conflicts - she defines them as heavily relating to five interwoven fields: identities, emotions, discourses, memories and nationalism - she looks into Cyprus´ troubled past, and its reflections in mutually exclusive collective memories, oral histories, media, education and peace activism with the aim of showing the self-perpeuating mechanisms of the conflict.
