This edited collection examines the important and multi-varied role
that art plays in today's diverse society. 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. Recognising this, Art
in Diverse Social Settings 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? 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.
