ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter reflects on the assembled, diverse range of preceding titles, themes, and discussions in search of something continuous and something accumulative resulting from the exercise of making this book. It briefly alights on one particular chapter, that referring to Folk-Tales, which it sees as allowing us to peer into the origins of story and history and their meaning and value for our lives. The conclusion concedes an inability to tally up the wide-ranging chapters but satisfies itself that the book has considered, in as rounded a way as is possible, for this writer at this moment, what history might be in contemporary art, and culture; what it might be to us and for us.
