This session examines research on the arts and art worlds as ways of engaging controversies and discourse related to cultural conflict. Papers are encouraged that present empirical research and study how artists, artistic works or artistic initiatives movements tackle socio-political or economic strife (such as violent demonstrations) or respond to natural or man-made disasters (like tsunamis) or grapple with humanitarian issues (such as armed conflict and massive displacement). How have creators, mediators or audiences used the arts to confront inequalities or reddress cultural trauma? How have the arts served to promote social action, resistance or recovery?
