Beskrivning
Research exploring the impact of arts on health and wellbeing is rapidly expanding. However, less attention has been paid to the development of the arts and health field itself. This book takes a novel approach, exploring the ways in which arts activities delivered with social purposes are interconnected with sociopolitical contexts and affected by societal values and structural inequalities.The Sociology of Arts and Health: Theory, Policy and Practice in Culture, Health and Wellbeing traverses sociological theories, drawing on foundational debates including questions of agency and structure, the determinants of health, conflict and consensus, and realism and constructionism. Daykin and Warran examine key contentions and challenges in the field, exploring future possibilities and drawing out implications for the future.This book addresses the necessity of sociology, which has been relatively neglected in thinking about arts, health and wellbeing. It will be of interest to researchers, students, practitioners and policy makers working across the fields of sociology, critical theory, arts, health and social care, wellbeing and creative health.

Recensioner i media

“Sociological thinking is fundamental to understanding the health impact of the arts. This rigorously researched, insightful book provides a wonderful introduction to the field of sociology and a powerful roadmap for researchers to take forwards.”Professor Daisy Fancourt“This rigorous and insightful work brings a critical sociological perspective to the field of arts in health that is long overdue. Daykin and Warran move us beyond questions of whether the arts improve health to examine the social structures, power dynamics, inequities, and policy environments that shape the field. They position the field as a social movement that can transform society and health by elevating the value of the arts and challenge the field to consider how it can do so more equitably and sustainably.”Dr Jill Sonke
