title: [Conflict resolution: a new perspective].
abstract: The field of conflict resolution has been focusing on certain implicit postulates related to the nature of three central concepts, namely: communication, conflict, and change. The present paper "undermines" so to speak, these three concepts by demonstrating the positivistic basis the field of conflict resolution features, even though recent contributions challenge such basis. A poststructural perspective on communication, conflict, and change is proposed as an alternative able to generate new tools and techniques for research as well as intervention in conflicts.
