Art is linked to the worldviews and mind-sets from which it results and, as a complex and ambiguous product of culture and perception, it can only be truly understood from multiple perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e  Recognising this, \u003ci\u003eArt in Diverse Social Settings\u003c\/i\u003e brings together contributions from a diverse range of authors - including scholars and artists from different countries, artistic languages and art statements - to give fresh perspectives on central questions such as: What purpose(s) do the arts serve in contemporary diverse and pluralistic societies? What are the links between art and citizenship in a 'glocal' perspective? Can aesthetics be compared to faith, therapy or civic resistance? Is art a feasible tool to prevent and contest social injustice, raise social consciousness and resistance in the political arena? Can art promote social inclusion? How can artistic practices contribute to community development? \u003cbr\u003e  The book contains three parts including Part 1 with theoretical chapters, and Parts 2 and 3 that present exemplary case studies illustrating art as a medium for communication and intervention in professional organizations, public spaces and\/or the community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Art In diverse social settings; \u003ci\u003eSusana Goncalves and Suzanne Majhanovich\u003c\/i\u003e Part 1: The art of today and its meaning Chapter 1: The purpose of contemporary art: Social and economic drivers; \u003ci\u003eSusana Goncalves\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 2: Is there a future for conceptual art?; \u003ci\u003eAntonio Cabrita\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 3: Art and Citizenship in Education: A Conceptual Framework; \u003ci\u003eAndri Savva\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 4: Art and spirituality: Two sides of the same human coin; \u003ci\u003eMark Carpenter\u003c\/i\u003e Part 2: Art, power and resistance Chapter 5: Activist art and political philosophy; \u003ci\u003eIlya Falkovsky\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 6: Theater, Resistance and Democratic Rupture; \u003ci\u003eZeca Carvalho and Marina Dias de Faria\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 7: Art and Resistance: How a small national minority struggles to defend its cultural identity; \u003ci\u003eIlya Falkovsky\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 8: \"I rap therefore I am\": Second generation rappers and Italian citizenship; \u003ci\u003eMorena Cuconato\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 9: German rap - a changing cultural field from a gender studies perspective; \u003ci\u003eHeidi Süß and Beatrix Kreß\u003c\/i\u003e Part 3: Art, community and dialogue Chapter 10: Art and the community; \u003ci\u003eSusana Goncalves\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 11: Crafting beauty together; \u003ci\u003eChristian Campagnaro\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 12: Participatory arts-based research: Insights from a project with migrant women; Concepción \u003ci\u003eMaiztegui-Oñate\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 13: Teaching art and design to crafts people in the Amazon\/Brazil and Mozambique; \u003ci\u003eAna Mae Barbosa\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 14: A Framework for Community Development through Street Art Culture; \u003ci\u003eLuisa Fonseca Silva\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 15: Qualities of Art in Citizenship Education; \u003ci\u003eAndri Savva\u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 16: Diversity and cultural heritage in the Finnish pre-primary curriculum; \u003ci\u003eRiitta Korhonen\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Emerald Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49412781572439,"sku":"9781800438972","price":70.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/art-in-diverse-social-settings-9781800438972","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
