| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The deadly ethno-political conflict in the Deep South of Thailand or “Patani” corresponds with problematic issues regarding the presence or absence of certain terminology. In other words, the naming of violent situations, actors, the territory/land and the people, including the way in which these conflicts have been transformed, remains contested. This chapter elaborates upon the semantic dynamic of such naming by means of “unfolding” to present times how these contested words and concepts could shape conflict and the peace process and how peace communities should deal with confronting the political convenience of accepting a term such as “armed conflict” and the difference between Thai terms such as “santipap” and “santisuk” which both seem to mean “peace” in this conflict. |
