Description
Summary:Over the last twenty years, we have begun to speak to each other in new ways across disciplines in the arts and sciences about links between religion, healing, and the arts. This discourse constitutes an appropriate, if long overdue, response to practices that tend to avoid firm boundaries between ritual or worship, medicine, and expressive culture. This roundtable contribution considers the work of participants in the April 2012 symposium on sacred healing and wholeness, drawing heavily on the author's ethnographic work, to suggest appropriate directions for future research in this area.
