Resumo
[Abstract] This article is intended as the leading article in a
special issue devoted to the achievements, limitations,
opportunities and risks entailed in the research and practice
of contemporary philanthropy. The article first characterizes philanthropy as a highly diverse and dynamic set of
social practices that has only recently been subject to the
systematic scrutiny of an emerging field of research, parallel to its rapid transformation and increased societal
visibility. The main debates that emerged during the last
two decades while researching the complexities of contemporary philanthropy are contextualized from the perspective of multiple disciplines; and the main foci for
contentious conceptualizations and societal expectations
explored. In this context, contributions of the special issues
are summarized. Further avenues for pushing the boundaries of philanthropy research in ways inclusive of the
dynamism, diversity, multi-disciplinarity and controversy
that characterize the field, while at the same time providing
meaningful answers to societal concerns about the potential
and shortcomings of new philanthropic practices, are
drawn.
