Are artists, designers and musicians inventors? Or does the
invention originate from scientific discovery alone? Ecologies of
Invention is the first collection of essays that brings together
writers and scholars of international standing from the University
of Sydney and beyond to examine assumptions underlying notions of
inventiveness. The writers explain how inventiveness borne out of
aesthetic ambitions is impacting on and changing our culture and
society. Ecologies of Invention describes the articulation of
inventive capacities across disciplines and across multiple scales,
from personal capacities to the social, spatial and network
configurations that drive people to produce inventions. The book
poses new questions for scholars, artists, architects, designers,
historians, engineers, scientists, lawyers and economists about the
nature, origins and processes of invention. "This is a challenging
book which confronts traditional thinking around creativity and
inventiveness, and raises issues that need serious debate." --
Barry Jones
