- Description
- In a review of recent creativity research, Beth Hennessey and Teresa Amabile from Harvard University argued that 'only by using multiple lenses simultaneously, looking across levels, and thinking about creativity systematically, will we be able to unlock and use its secrets. What we need now are all encompassing systems theories of creativity designed to tie together and make sense of the diversity of perspectives found in the literature - from the innermost neurological level to the outermost cultural level' (2010, p. 590). This chapter introduces these ideas in relation to the creative industries, including fiction and non-fiction writing, journalism, popular music, film and documentary, theatre, digital media, and the arts and design.
