Abstract

The present introductory chapter has a specific purpose: the theoretical mapping of the field of arts-based methods (ABM) in education and organisations. This is not a simple matter. Even though numerous contributions to this field have been published or disseminated in the last 20 years, still the need for further practices and conceptualisations is evident. The approaches that can be taken are several. Conceptual choices can have the consequence of ascribing the field of ABM to different scholarly traditions. Any of these choices will influence the ways in which we understand the workings and impacts of the ABM on given contexts. In the present chapter, the editors of this volume describe their own approach as such: the understanding of artistic interventions as based on participation in the arts, but not necessarily subject to professional or amateur art making.
