- Description
- Building on the research work already conducted into the creative practice of the arts and design (Vygotsky 1971, Cupchik 1983, Hospers 1985, Csikszentmihalyi and Getzels 1988, Akin 1994, Dorst and Cross 2001, Wissler et al. 2004, Locher et al. 2006, Dasgupta 2008, Gero 2010), summarized recently by Keith Sawyer (2012) and Anthony Williams, Michael Ostwald and Hedda Askland (2010), the authors of this chapter explore, through a set of semi-structured in-depth interviews, a comparison of the views of selected arts and design practitioners with recent systemic accounts of creativity. We include the visual arts, theatre, music, dance, writing, fashion, architecture and graphic design in this group. We argue that while there are a set of beliefs that form the traditional doxa (Bourdieu 1996) of the arts and design, the creative practice for many of these practitioners could be best reconceptualized as systemic (Csikszentmihalyi 2014) rather than Romantic or inspirationist.
