Synopsis

This book, entitled Arts, Health and Wellness: Interdisciplinary Research with Social Impact, has been made possible thanks to the Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes and the sponsorship provided by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), an institution that promotes communication between professors and researchers who have received, at some point in their academic training, financial support for postgraduate studies or research stays at German universities with internationally recognized researchers. The author, as a former DAAD scholarship holder, responded to the call to organize the International Seminar "Arts, Health and Wellbeing" - "Kunst, Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden" - as part of the DAAD Alumni Seminars at the beginning of 2024. As stated on the DAAD homepage, this program recognizes research work carried out byalumni.

The main objective of the meeting was to learn about the work being done from this interdisciplinary perspective in our country in order to analyze possibilities of designing and implementing, in the short, medium and long term, interdisciplinary and inter-institutional research projects. The seminar was attended by researchers from different parts of Mexico -Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Mexico City, Puebla, Tamaulipas and Veracruz- and from abroad -Germany, Estonia and Costa Rica- who, from different disciplines -musicology, semiotics, education, philosophy, philosophy, aesthetics, geophysics, geophysics, geophysics, geophysics, geophysics, geophysics and geophysics- participated in the seminar, education, philosophy, aesthetics, geophysics, plastic arts, film studies, urban planning, electrical engineering, epidemiology, mathematics, psychology, cultural history, neuro-arts, cognition and linguistics - have studied artistic expressions in relation to wellbeing and health.

Of great relevance was the participation of researchers from the three academic bodies of the Center for Arts and Culture of the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes (UAA-CA-117, Education and Knowledge of Music; UAA-CA-120, Artistic Production, Image and Sound; and UAA-CA-115, Linguistic and Literary Studies), as well as undergraduate and graduate students, so the activities carried out by the DAAD Alumni had a direct impact on the academic community of the UAA. The project, in addition to supporting the mobility of alumni living in Mexico and Latin America to participate in this meeting, included the publication of this book. The central interest of the book was to compile the work of colleagues who have managed to reflect in an interdisciplinary manner on the role that the arts play in the well-being and health of human beings. Participation in the seminar was not a selection criterion for this publication, so in addition to the contributions of the former fellows, other works by researchers who have explored the seminar's theme were included. Thus, this book is made up of thirteen texts.
