This collection draws on a range of frameworks from the fields of aesthetics, philosophy, and political theory to discuss how art has been characterized across the humanities. It derives consequences for educational institutions, pedagogy, and teachers of specific curricular areas. The book addresses issues such as how art has been defined, what its affordances are for educators, whether artistic practice is an intrinsically educational process, whether museums and galleries are educational institutions and, conversely, whether schools may also qualify as artistic laboratories. Through these and more questions, the book approaches the education-art nexus from both sides of the relationship with chapters that either look at education through art, or at art through education. The contributors belong to education, aesthetic, and arts university departments and report on a variety of interdisciplinary research projects. As a result, the volume provides both theoretical insights into the distinct means and purposes of art, and lively illustrations of the affordances that art holds for educators in different institutions and contexts. Although rooted for the most part in the Spanish-speaking world, the volume embraces a glocal perspective whereby contemporary tendencies and discussions are embodied and transmitted through rich and textured qualitative case studies.
