Being Human Today
This collection stages a conversation between art, education, and mental health around the question of what it means to be human today. This book moves beyond the suggestion that "the arrival of the I" in the world would require strong educational or therapeutic interventions or would be a matter of free expression without boundaries. The chapters explore new possibilities for the humanizing work of art, education, and mental health in the world today. Of interest to academics and scholars in art, education, and mental health, this book will also be suitable for students and practitioners in these fields--mental health practitioners, teachers, and teacher educators, and those working in the arts and arts education.
Arts-Based Research Across Textual Media in Education
In company with its sister volume, Arts-Based Research Across Textual Media in Education explores arts-based approaches to research across media, including film and comics-related material, from a variety of geographic locations and across a range of subdisciplines within the field of education. This first volume takes a textual focus, capturing process, poetic, and dramaturgical approaches. The authors aim to highlight some of the approaches that are not always centered in arts-based research. The contributors represent a variety of arts-based practices and methods, and they weave this marrying of artistic and scientific expertise and experience into the fabric of the chapters themselves.

Traces of the Future
This book presents a close look at the vestiges of twentieth-century medical work at five key sites in Africa: Senegal, Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya, and Tanzania. The authors aim to understand the afterlife of scientific institutions and practices and the "aftertime" of scientific modernity and its attendant visions of progress and transformation. Straightforward scholarly work is juxtaposed here with altogether more experimental approaches to fieldwork and analysis, including interview fragments; brief, reflective essays; and a rich photographic archive. The result is an unprecedented view of the lingering traces of medical science from Africa's past.

Kunstens Betydning?
Hvorfor trenger barn og unge kunst? Hvordan begrunnes kunstens betydning i samfunnet? Denne antologien tar utgangspunkt i forskning utført av interne og assosierte medlemmer av den tverrfaglige forskningsgruppen Kunst og barn & unge ved Fakultet for kunstfag, Universitetet i Agder i Kristiansand.I antologien argumenteres det for at det er sentralt å forske på barn og unges møter med kunst og kunstnerisk praksis direkte, men det er også relevant å utvide forskningshorisonten og forske på kunstfaglige problemstillinger som også indirekte berører barn og unge. Bokens undertittel peker på et ønske om å anvende en utvidet forståelse av begrepene kunst og barn og unge, som også komme...
Activating Democracy
Driven by a powerful belief in the value of free expression, Sheryl Oring has for more than a decade been helping people across the United States voice concerns about public affairs through her 'I Wish to Say' project. This book uses that project as the starting point for an exploration of a series of issues of public interest being addressed by artists today. It features essays by contributors ranging from art historians and practicing artists to scholars and creators working in literature, political science and architecture. All the contributors offer a different approach, but they share a primary goal of sparking a dialogue not just among makers of art, but among viewers, readers and the concerned public at large. The resulting volume will be an essential resource for politically engaged contemporary artists searching for innovative, cross-disciplinary ways of making and sharing art.
Kunstens betydning?
Hvorfor trenger barn og unge kunst? Hvordan begrunnes kunstens betydning i samfunnet? Denne antologien tar utgangspunkt i forskning utført av medlemmer av den tverrfaglige forskningsgruppen Kunst og barn & unge ved Fakultet for kunstfag, Universitetet i Agder i Kristiansand. Forfatterne argumenterer både for betydningen av å forske på barn og unges møter med kunst og kunstnerisk praksis direkte og det å forske på kunstfaglige problemstillinger som indirekte berører barn og unge. Bokens undertittel peker på et ønske om å anvende en utvidet forståelse av begrepene kunst og barn og unge, som også kommer til uttrykk i antologiens temaer, innhold og forskningstilnærminger. Kapitlene omhandler både barn og unges omgang med visuell kunst, musikk og teater i og utenfor barnehage, skole, kulturskole, og prosjekter som er mer i randsonen av denne målgruppen. Forfatterne er derfor ikke bare opptatt av hvilken betydning kunst og kunstnerisk praksis har for barn og unge, men også for samfunnet generelt. Antologien retter seg mot et bredt fagfelt og kan være interessant for alle som er opptatt av kunstens plass og betydning i skole og samfunn og i forskningen selv.
