At a time when inequalities are growing globally, when the pace of
socio-economic transitions is rapid, and when traditional ties of
community are under threat of dissolving, 'soul' offers a new way
of thinking imaginatively about how people might respond both
individually and collectively in social change work. In exploring
ideas such as soul, soulful, 'soul of the world' and soul-force,
Peter Westoby invites readers to disrupt their taken-for-granted
assumptions about community practice and to foreground ethics,
quality, being and the aesthetic. Drawing on work of people such as
James Hillman, Thomas Moore and 'Bifo' Beradi, he insists on the
need to bring more depth into practice, eschewing contemporary
trends of soulless analysis, measuring, and technique. Written in
dialogue with eight practitioner-scholars from around the world,
the book suggests a fresh terrain for community work and social
change theorising. Illustrated by images of Australian
cartoonist-prophet Michael Leunig, the book also promises to unlock
new imaginative spaces for dreaming. A soul perspective will
resonate with people searching for both a robust socio-political
response to the world and an imaginative, poetic and mindful
centring of self, 'other' and the planet to their practice.
