Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This volume has been brought together to generate ideas and provoke discussion about what constitutes arts education in the twenty-first century, both within the institution and beyond. Art, Artists and Pedagogy is intended for educators who teach the arts from early childhood to tertiary level, artists working in the community, or those studying arts in education from undergraduate to Masters or PhD level. From the outset, this publication is not only about arts in practice but also what distinguishes the ‘arts’ in education. Exploring two different philosophies of education, the book asks what is the purpose of arts in the twenty-first century. With specific reference to the work of Gert Biesta, questions are raised as to the relation of the arts to the world and what kind of society we may wish to envisage. The second philosophical position comes from Deleuze and Guattari, looking in more depth at how we configure art, the artist and the role played by the state and global capital in deciding on what art education has become. This book provides educators with ways to engage with arts, focusing specifically on art, music, dance, drama and film studies. At a time when many teachers are looking for a means to re-assert the role of the arts, this text provides new ideas with reference to case studies and in-depth arguments from some of the world’s leading academics in the arts, philosophy and education.
