Cambridge, England : Polity, 2017. 27796 1 online resource (307 pages) : illustrations e-Book Proquest Contemporary society has seen an unprecedented rise in both the demand and the desire to be creative, to bring something new into the world. Once the reserve of artistic subcultures, creativity has now become a universal model for culture and an imperative in many parts of society. In this new book, cultural sociologist Andreas Reckwitz investigates how the ideal of creativity has grown into a major social force, from the art of the avant-garde and postmodernism to the 'creative industries' and the innovation economy, the psychology of creativity and self-growth, the media representation of creative stars, and the urban design of 'creative cities'. Where creativity is often assumed to be a force for good, Reckwitz looks critically at how this imperative has developed from the 1970s to the present day. Though we may well perceive creativity as the realization of some natural and innate potential within us, it has rather to be understood within the structures of a very specific culture of the new in late modern society. The Invention of Creativity is a bold and refreshing counter to conventional wisdom that shows how our age is defined by radical and restrictive processes of social aestheticization. It will be of great interest to those working in a variety of disciplines, from cultural and social theory to art history and aesthetics. e-Book 58568 Cultural industries 58687 Creative ability 31772 Social sciences Philosophy. 5240 Electronic books. 0049 สำนักการศึกษาทั่วไป 132 http://elibrary.pim.ac.th/MyResearch/pfile/10047/9697/index.html (Proquest) Manual https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/pimth/detail.action?docID=4875216 Click to e-Book (On Network PIM Only) BK 828576 boonyanuch 828576 828576
