Abstract
A contribution to current debates in the field of cultural policy, about social impact of the arts. It explores the conceptual difficulties that arise in the notion of the arts and the implications of these difficulties for attemps to generalise about their value, function and impact. The paper shows how literature sits uneasily in the main system of classifying the arts.
