Though a much-studied subject, and the topic of a great many case-studies, the field of creativity research is still very much an open one. Creativity remains a field where absolute definitions hold very little water, and where true insight can only emerge when we properly appreciate - from a nuanced, multi-disciplinary perspective - the crucial distinction between the producer's perspective and the consumer's perspective. Theories that afford us a critical appreciation of a creative work do not similarly afford a explanatory insight into the origins and development of the work. As researchers, we must approach creativity both as producers - to consider the vast search-spaces that a producer encounters, and to appreciate the need for heuristic strategies for negotiating this space - and as consumers, to appreciate the levels of shared knowledge (foreground and background) that is exploited by the producer to achieve a knowingly creative effect in the mind of the consumer. This volume thus brings together both producers and consumers in a cross-disciplinary exploration of this complex, many-faceted phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter Mouton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46861630308503,"sku":"9783110293487","price":13866.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110293487.webp?v=1769962849","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/creativity-and-the-agile-mind-a-multi-disciplinary-study-of-a-multi-faceted-phenomenon-9783110293487","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
