Description

The Invention of Creativity: A Critical Examination of Modern Society's Quest for Innovation. In recent years, creativity has become an increasingly valued aspect of modern society. What was once the domain of artistic subcultures has now become a universal ideal, driving culture and innovation across various sectors. Cultural sociologist Andreas Reckwitz explores how this emphasis on creativity has evolved over time, from its roots in avant-garde art to the 'creative industries' and urban design of 'creative cities'. Reckwitz examines the cultural forces behind our current obsession with creativity, revealing how it has become a major social force shaping our world. He critically assesses how this imperative has developed since the 1970s, highlighting the complex relationships between creativity, culture, and society. This book offers a fresh perspective on the concept of creativity in modern society, challenging conventional wisdom and providing valuable insights for scholars and researchers across various disciplines.
