Art, Culture and International Development - John Clammer - Bog

- Humanizing social transformation

Bag om Art, Culture and International Development

This innovative book places culture, specifically in the form of the arts, back at the centre of debates in development studies by introducing new ways of conceptualizing art in relation to development. It shows how the arts and development are related in very practical ways ¿ as means to achieve development goals through visual, dramatic, filmic and craft-inspired ways. It advocates not so much culture and development, but rather for the development of culture. Without a cultural content to economic and social transformation the problems found in much development ¿ up-rooting of cultures, loss of art forms, languages and modes of expression and performance ¿ may only accelerate. It argues for the value of the arts in attaining sustainable cultures, promoting poverty alleviation, encouraging self-empowerment, stimulating creativity and the social imagination, which in turn flow back into wider processes of social transformation.
