Abstract
This paper shows that reframing of conflict can be considered as a constitutive element of a “reconciliatory argumentative
style” (van Eemeren, 2019), which is typical of dispute mediators, whose aim is to steer parties
towards the resolution of their conflict. On the basis of a systematic empirical analysis of mediation cases, we first show that reframing
encompasses a change of issue, which may or may not be justified by arguments. Then, we show how it is functional to the three aspects of
mediators’ strategic manoeuvring, being used consistently by mediators in their effort to help parties solve their conflict on the basis of
reasonable discussion.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Argumentation in Context aims to publish high-quality papers about the role of argumentation in the various kinds of argumentative practices that have come into being in social life. These practices include, for instance, political, legal, medical, financial, commercial, academic, educational, problem-solving, and interpersonal communication. In all cases certain aspects of such practices will be analyzed from the perspective of argumentation theory with a view of gaining a better understanding of certain vital characteristics of these practices. This means that the journal has an empirical orientation and concentrates on real-life argumentation but is at the same time out to publish only papers that are informed by relevant insights from argumentation theory.
