About
Creativity has become a buzzword and key issue in debates about cultural policy, human growth and the media and cultural industries. It has also become a very misused term used to describe anything from musical and artistic genius, to shady financial accounting, to the teaching of children and the management of employees.
But what does it mean?
Negus and Pickering provide a clear and logical way of understanding what we describe as creative, and how this term has become central to attaching cultural value.
Their book:
· Develops an approach which enables us to think of creativity as both ordinary and exceptional
· Focuses on creativity as a way of rethinking key concepts in the study of culture such as:
Convention; innovation; tradition and experience.
This book is useful to those studying Media and Cultural Studies who need to understand Cultural Production, Communication, Popular Culture and Cultural Theory.
