The geography of creativity
"What is creativity and who exactly is creative? In this insightful and highly readable book, the author attempts to answer these questions by arguing that geographical millieux are hotbeds for creativity and renewal - places where pioneers in art, technology and science have gathered and developed their special abilities. In light of ongoing social and economic transformations, special attention is paid to the institutional settings in firms and universities. The goal is to identify those features which facilitate and those which impede the creative process. Individual lives are illustrated through the autobiographies of hundreds of Nobel Laureates. Their life paths reveal the importance of geographic mobility and contact patterns for the development of creativity and international prestige. From these biographies we can also see how local millieux and schools have influenced many scientists"--Back cover
Creativity - Vice or Virtue? A Study of Different Visions of Creativity
In: Politicka misao, Band 48, Heft 4, S. 7-25
This essay is about 'creativity' and the way it is perceived in modern western society. Most people tend to see creativity in a rather simple fashion as something positive, and in view of its benefits for the individual, for culture and for society, it is generally agreed that creativity should be given a more prominent role. However, in a modern, globalized society this 'angelic' view can present a misleading picture of the phenomenon. So what is its role and how should it be reconceptualized? The author takes two different ideological visions of creativity, a progressive, humane and democratic view in contrast to a market-led economic one. Paradoxically as it may be, these two opposing visions share much of the same rhetoric and the author attempts to strip away some of the confusing layers that mask these positions. Mrnarevic shows that the value of creativity is shifting from a traditional humanistic and cultural model to serve the new economic doctrine. It is believed that this shift is unwise since it ignores other aspects of creativity, which are of vital importance for society if it is constructively to deal with pressing issues that challenge it, such as reducing economic inequalities and other effects of a competition-based culture. Adapted from the source document.
