Collective Creativity offers an analysis of the explosion of
artistic creativity currently taking place on the South Pacific
island of Rarotonga. By exploring the construction of this
art-world through the ways in which creativity and innovation are
linked to social structures and social networks, this book
investigates the social aspects of making fine art in order to
present a 'collective' theory of creativity. With a close
examination of tourism, galleries and, of course, the artists
themselves, Katherine Giuffre presents a detailed picture of a
complex and multi-faceted community through the words of the
art-world participants themselves. Theoretically sophisticated, yet
grounded with rich empirical data, this book will appeal not only
to anthropologists with an interest in the South Pacific, but also
to scholars concerned with questions of ethnicity, creativity,
globalization and network analysis.
