#KunstInnsatsen: Estetiske erfaringer og skjønnsvurderinger ved asylmottak

Abstract

The article discusses the practice of professionals in art didactics doing voluntary work with asylum center residents. The researchers describe and interpret the informants’ execution of phronesis, understood as a form of practical and ethical wisdom. Furthermore, they discuss how this practice, in the context of art didactics, can contribute to the development of cultural democracy. Based on in-depth interviews of seven carefully selected informants, the data is interpreted within a phenomenological research design. The data is discussed in light of Aristotle’s concept of phronesis, and Ranciere’s theory of aesthetics in politics and his understanding of the “distribution of the sensible”.
