The Dictionary of War poses a fundamental question: how to struggle in the face of a so-called “state of exception” that always becomes a rule.

Started in 2006, eight editions have since been organized in Frankfurt, Munich, Graz, Berlin, Gwangju, Bolzano, Taipei, and Novi Sad, featuring 125+ concepts presented by a wide range of activists, architects, artists, composers, choreographers, dancers, filmmakers, generals, journalists, philosophers, scientists, theorists from across the globe.

Video of each concept presentation is available online in streaming or downloadable formats.

The Dictionary is a collaborative platform for creating concepts on the topic of war. The aim is to introduce a series of concepts that either play an important role in the contemporary discourse of war, have so far been neglected, or have yet to be created.  Its processes make the creation or revaluation of concepts transparent – more or less, open – in which we can and need to intervene.  At the same time, the aim is to develop models that redefine the creation of concepts on the basis not of interdisciplinary but rather undisciplined, not co-operative but rather collaborative processes.
