“…Likewise, Rigell and Banack (2019) note similar findings in their work with Appalachian eighth-grade students, having them read and relate to poems from other authors in Appalachia and write their own poems to help understand their physical community identity. Sjollema and Hanley (2014) also note the benefits of poetry as a community development tool, with geographical areas feeling an increased sense of community and facilitators noting an increased understanding of the community through workshops. Alvarez and Mearns (2014) note the benefits of spoken word poetry in creating a community ethos, stating that sharing and reading poetry aloud makes the usually solitary art a communal activity, helping to relieve loneliness and depression often found in creative fields.…”

This case study examines outcomes from a university project that emanated from a grant for a public humanities collaboration. It involved undergraduate research as well as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives at a midsize private university in the Midwest. The university worked with the local library system and its Center for Black Literature and Culture (CBLC) and K-12 schools to create community engagement initiatives based on student research done in the universities special collections archives of the poet, Etheridge Knight, Jr. It also included Knight's family, local poets, the university's Center for Citizenship and Community, and university faculty. The findings include that the project provided an explicit connection between Knight and existing university coursework and student learning, facilitated community engagement, and created an appreciation of both local community and personal sense of community.

“…En el enfoque desarrollista, las prácticas y tradiciones musicales más locales no se resaltan, en parte porque los funcionarios no piensan la música como una práctica social dentro de un contexto cultural distinto al suyo y, en cambio, la ven como parte, o del complejo de las "bellas artes," o como parte de las industrias culturales y del espectáculo. Las investigaciones sobre programas artísticos en el campo de los estudios sobre el desarrollo ponen en perspectiva el caso de Libertad, aportando casos que evidencian el rol de las artes en procesos de construcción de ciudadanía, mejorando condiciones de salud mental y generando redes de apoyo basadas en acciones de cooperación (Kay 2000, Guetzkow 2002, Sjollema y Hanley 2013. Este enfoque es relativamente reciente y defiende el valor de la evaluación cualitativa para determinar la contribución de las artes en contextos comunitarios.…”

Libertad, un pueblo costero afrocolombiano del Caribe, fue víctima de una ocupación paramilitar entre 1996 y 2004. Cuando se diseñó el plan de reparación colectiva de esta comunidad en 2007, éste incluyó iniciativas para rehabilitar las músicas locales (como el bullerengue) y otras expresiones tradicionales, con la convicción de que eran herramientas históricas para fortalecer la cohesión social. Debilitadas como consecuencia de la guerra, estas prácticas son hoy fuertes, pues los músicos locales las han rescatado y también transformado estratégicamente para crear nuevas expresiones que resuenan con estéticas populares urbanas contemporáneas, ejemplificando mecanismos locales que abordan creativamente situaciones de postconflicto, generando conexión y empatía.

“…Such expressions also occur as single events and not necessarily under the City-lab umbrella. They are also practised in several other counties, in connection with local developments of different kinds (Sjollema & Hanley 2013, Grant-Smith & Matthews 2015, Christensen 2015, Sim 2017.…”

Citizen participation is enshrined in the Norwegian Planning and Building Act (PBA) 1985 and accentuated by the 2008 revision of the PBA. In this article, we ask if the research on participation in municipal planning is sufficient to draw conclusions on whether the Act is effective with regard to both the spirit and the letter of the law. The guiding framework for the analysis is based on the concepts of input and output legitimacy and the distinction between 'tidy' and 'untidy' participation. The analysis is based on scientific publications published after the 2008 revision of the PBA. We find that the majority of the research concentrates on zoning plans and municipalityinitiated 'tidy' participation. As a result, there are gaps in the research with regard to both the planning context and the interconnectedness of different forms of participation. Therefore, the research reviewed can only partially inform the law-makers on the functioning of the Act.
