Artists and Peacebuilding

Produktbeschreibung

This is a study about the role of art in community
conflict transformation. There is insufficient
information and empirical evidence about how
performance art interventions can support existing
forms of conflict resolution practice. This is a U.S.
based study that explores and explains how
performance art interventions can complement
traditional and transformative interventions in the
field of Conflict Resolution. Quantitative and
qualitative research collected and analyzed for this
study indicates and suggests how performance art, as
a dialogically-based intervention, can influence an
individual s attitude, perception and or position
about issues that are relevant to the field of
Conflict Resolution. Suggestions are made about
complementary interventions and the stage of conflict
in which this unique type of intervention could be
most useful.
