Abstract
This article develops initial contours of postdigital peace and conflict by situating contemporary warfare and peacebuilding processes within the messy human–technological–natural entanglements that characterise the postdigital condition. It discusses how AI‑driven militarism, datafication, and the deep entwinement of Big Tech with the global military‑industrial complex reconfigure the ontology of conflict, redistribute agency, and intensify threats to data sovereignty through the extraction and militarisation of biometric, geospatial, and behavioural data. Drawing on intersecting scholarship in war studies, international relations, security studies, peace and conflict studies, Indigenous and decolonial perspectives, and postdigital research, we outline some directions for societally engaged, politically courageous postdigital dialogue oriented toward relational approaches to (re)search for postdigital peace. We call for broad postdigital dialogue on the features and implications of peace and conflict in a postdigital age, walking the talk of postdigital scholarship as a critical philosophy of practice.
