There is no prepared script for social and cultural life. People
work it out as they go along. Creativity and Cultural Improvisation
casts fresh, anthropological eyes on the cultural sites of
creativity that form part of our social matrix. The book explores
the ways creative agency is attributed in the graphic and
performing arts and in intellectual property law. It shows how the
sources of creativity are embedded in social, political and
religious institutions, examines the relationship between
creativity and the perception and passage of time, and reviews the
creativity and improvisational quality of anthropological
scholarship itself. Individual essays examine how the concept of
creativity has changed in the history of modern social theory, and
question its applicability as a term of cross-cultural analysis.
The contributors highlight the collaborative and political
dimensions of creativity and thus challenge the idea that
creativity arises only from individual talent and expression.
