In this article, we engage with IR's recently rediscovered interest in peace and connect it with the visual turn in international relations. We move the field's focus on representations of war to representations of peace and develop the concept of peace photography. We suggest both understanding photography as a social agent promoting visions of peace and incorporating analysis of peace photography into IR's emerging agenda on peace. Our illustrative examples show that it is insufficient to think about and analyze visual images only in connection with representations of large scale violence and interstate war. In contrast, we provide an alternative approach which aims to broaden our understanding of (the study of) peace in IR. First, we explore a positive conception of peace at the individual and everyday level of analysis. Second, we advocate methodological pluralism by examining different analytical sites of peace photography. Third, we concentrate on the potentialities of peace photography in Colombia and Brazil—notorious spaces of everyday violence. We argue that the analytical perspectives developed in this paper have also relevance beyond our examples: If peace photography can be found here, than it can also be found elsewhere. Put differently, everyday visions of peace constitute particular instances of the international.

国际关系中的和平愿景

在本文中，我们将与国际关系组织最近重新发现的对和平的兴趣联系起来，并将其与国际关系中的视觉转向联系起来。我们将战场对战场的关注转移到和平的表现上，并发展和平摄影的概念。我们建议既将摄影理解为促进和平愿景的社会推动者，又将对摄影的分析纳入国际关系组织关于和平的新议程。我们的说明性示例表明，仅与大规模暴力和州际战争的表现有关的思考和分析视觉图像是不够的。相反，我们提供了一种替代方法，旨在扩大我们对IR中和平（的研究）的理解。首先，我们在个人和日常分析中探索积极的和平概念。第二，我们通过研究和平摄影的不同分析场所来倡导方法论多元化。第三，我们关注哥伦比亚和巴西的和平摄影的潜力-众所周知的日常暴力场所。我们认为，本文提出的分析观点也与我们的例子无关，如果在这里可以找到和平摄影，那么在其他地方也可以找到。换句话说，每天的和平愿景构成国际的特定实例。如果在这里可以找到和平摄影，那么在其他地方也可以找到。换句话说，每天的和平愿景构成国际的特定实例。如果在这里可以找到和平摄影，那么在其他地方也可以找到。换句话说，每天的和平愿景构成国际的特定实例。
