Common understandings of creativity reduce it to a flash of insight or to a personal characteristic of a highly-gifted person. This paper develops an alternative way of understanding creativity departing from a series of interviews with local painters by conceptualizing creativity as a process of articulating and getting caught up in a “meshwork” of materials, places, spaces and social encounters. Using assemblage theoretical framework, my perspective examines how different elements (both human and non-human) are brought together in flows of connections. Looking at the art world this paper takes into account also the materiality of the creative process and inquiry into how the materiality of working materials (paint, coal, brushes etc.) and the materiality of the space affect and are affected in the creativity assemblage. As such, departing from an anthropocentric perspective on artistic creativity, that takes only in consideration the meanings attributed by people (especially the artist) to forms, social uses and trajectories of artistic objects.
The paper deals with the questions of bodyness when new castes and classes form in a mediated environment. The theses is developed as follows. (1) The media contribute to the formation of new castes, the attributes of which are corporeal styles. (2) The society fragmentizes when its members group into one or another class despite the tendencies of the unifying media. The author analyses the contradictory tendencies of contemporary society. The life art of the consumers become similar in global way but because of an exclusive consuming, the rich caste forms as well. According to the author, the new post-revolutionary (in both senses) social order narrowed the perspective instead of opening it. The relationship between bodyness and castes and corporeal style as a feature of new caste are analyzed from the perspectives of different communication schools. In addition to that, the question about metacommunication as communicative practice is discussed. © 2015 Lithuanian Institute of Philosophy and Sociology. All Rights Reserved.
The paper deals with the sociological approaches towards creativity in the contexts of psychology, pedagogy,
economy, and management, as well of regional and urban studies. Sociology faces the questions of creativity in the levels as follows: 1) being based on certain sociological theories, 2) analyzing the sociological environment of creativity, 3) applying the quantitative sociological methods, and 4) searching for empirical methods of creativity. The author presents the concept of creative society and compares it with the concept of knowledge society. Every empirical index of creativity presupposes the methodological difficulties that make doubtful the empirical approach towards creativity in general. The indices refer to the area beyond empirical sphere, i.e. to historical consciousness, worldview, tradition etc.
