Between Grace and Fear: The Role of the Arts in a Time of Change
This paper stems from the findings of a research project that invited a range of writers, artists, politicians, scientists, community leaders, theologians and social theorists to engage the following question: If a major shift in worldview is taking place, what role might society’s arts and cultural resources (artists, arts institutions and cultural creatives) play?
The book this paper is based upon (due for publication in 2009) seeks to explore these and other questions and contribute to the growing discussion among historians and social/political theorists about what some see as an historic shift or ‘turn’ in how the world’s systems and institutions function and are viewed. In their literature review of literature, the authors were struck that there was little or no mention of how arts and culture figure in these ‘turning’ scenarios.
