What is the value of the arts and humanities today? This question
points to a long and extensively discussed dilemma. Eleonora
Belfiore and Anna Upchurch have compiled a collection of original
essays that offer a novel approach to tackling this difficult
question. These contributions offer examples that show that, rather
than relying on the narrowly utilitarian notion of 'research
impact' that has developed within current educational policies and
debates, it may be more appropriate to look at the ways in which
arts and humanities research is already engaged in collaborative
endeavours, both within academia and beyond, in order to address
the big ethical, political, technological and environmental
challenges of contemporary life. The contributors are scholars from
diverse backgrounds, cultural and business professionals as well as
policy makers from both the UK and the US. The wealth and diversity
of perspectives and experiences they bring to the consideration of
the place and role of the arts and humanities in contemporary
society allows for a refreshed debate that does not rely on
simplistic and questionable notions of socio-economic impact as a
proxy for value.
