/Introduction/

During the past few decades, a spectre has emerged, which is now 
haunting the Arts and Humanities in the Western world. The question 
posed by this spectre is: What is the usefulness of studying Arts and 
Humanities? This has manifested itself in a decreasing acknowledgment, 
which again has resulted in considerable downsizing and diverse forms of 
crisis management. In this political realm this volume provides an 
alternative story about Arts and Humanities through the more 
constructive phrasing of the question: Which needs in society do the 
Arts and Humanities respond to and accommodate?

The volume is divided into two sections.

The first section addresses the “Historical positions of Arts and 
Humanities in society: Criticism, control and collaboration”. Here, the 
overall question is discussed at a general level.

The aim of the second section “How to reinvent the Arts and Humanities: 
Defining disciplines and cross disciplinary developments” is to discuss 
a possible renaissance of the Arts and Humanities, focusing on different 
disciplines and cross disciplinary developments.
