Abstract
ABSTRACT In March 2022, the International Network for the Study of Spirituality (INSS) launched a new Special Interest Group: Spirituality and the Arts (SASIG). This initiative, co-chaired by Lila Moore, June Boyce-Tillman and Annalisa Burello, aims to bring together artists, scholars, health practitioners and anyone with an interest in spirituality and the arts in order to explore and investigate the interconnections between these apparently distinct realms. Four events have been held to date. Recordings are available on YouTube to provide archival empirical evidence for future studies. The ethos of the group is to keep an open mindedness about the notion of spirituality as expressed by each individual and to apply a transdisciplinary and multimedia approach to its work. This article provides an overview of the work of the group to date.
期刊介绍:
Journal for the Study of Spirituality is a peer-reviewed journal which creates a unique interdisciplinary, inter-professional and cross-cultural forum where researchers, scholars and others engaged in the study and practices of spirituality can share and debate the research, knowledge, wisdom and insight associated with spirituality and contemporary spirituality studies. The British Association for the Study of Spirituality (BASS) organises a biennial international conference and welcomes enquiries about membership from those interested in the study of spirituality in the UK and worldwide. The journal is concerned with what spirituality means, and how it is expressed, in individuals’ lives and communities and in professional practice settings; and with the impact and implications of spirituality in, and on, social policy, organizational practices and personal and professional development. The journal recognises that spirituality and spiritual values can be expressed and studied in secular contexts, including in scientific and professional practice settings, as well as within faith and wisdom traditions. Thus, Journal for the Study of Spirituality particularly welcomes contributions that: identify new agendas for research into spirituality within and across subject disciplines and professions; explore different epistemological and methodological approaches to the study of spirituality; introduce comparative perspectives and insights drawn from different cultures and/or professional practice settings; aim to apply and develop sustained reflection, investigation and critique in relation to spirituality and spiritual practices; critically examine the values and presuppositions underpinning different forms of spirituality and spiritual practices; incorporate different forms of writing and expressions of spirituality.
