This unique book explores how the conceptual framework of science
and technology studies can be applied to creativity and
problem-solving research, drawing from and building on the work of
Bruno Latour. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the book
outlines new research practices to capture the origin of ideas
through the work of Bruno Latour. Latour enjoins researchers to
adopt a resolutely ethnographic methodology to trace the process by
which a creative product, be it a technological innovation or a
work of art, is constructed, or instaured. Creativity is explained
in terms of the micro-processes that guide and constrain the
development of a new idea. These micro-processes operate on and are
triggered by material objects, be they maquettes, models, drafts or
data representations. The resulting perspective is systemic,
casting creativity as emerging from the interaction among
heterogenous elements and actants. The book provides critical
reflections on problem solving research and stresses the importance
of William James's radical empiricism and the primary role of
experience. The book redefines the concept of insight as an outcome
rather than the cause of a new idea. The book uses the work of
Latour to cast a new light on the field of creative cognition and
will be an essential read for researchers and students of
creativity and cognition. It will also be relevant for anyone
interested in understanding origin of creativity, ideas and
thoughts.
