Recenzii
’A watershed for community developers! This book probes beyond the usual rational social science frameworks to engage readers in dialogues about the unseen, the sacred, the symbolic and the spiritual that permeate the lifeworld. Readers will be challenged with some of the freshest perspectives about community development that have been raised in the past two decades.’ Ron Hustedde, University of Kentucky, USA
Descriere
In exploring ideas such as soul, soulful, 'soul of the world' and soul-force, Peter Westoby invites readers to disrupt their taken-for-granted assumptions about community practice and to foreground ethics, quality, being and the aesthetic. Drawing on work of people such as James Hillman, Thomas Moore and 'Bifo' Beradi, he insists on the need to bring more depth into practice, eschewing contemporary trends of soulless analysis, measuring, and technique. A soul perspective will resonate with people searching for both a robust socio-political response to the world and an imaginative, poetic and mindful centring of self, 'other' and the planet to their practice.
