This scholarly and important volume has an impressive
interdisciplinary and international scope. We hear from
psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, legal scholars, and
economists. These refreshing chapters broaden our understanding of
human innovation, contributing to a developing sociocultural
approach to the study of creativity. These chapters directly
challenge the myth of solitary genius, by documenting the social
and cultural systems within which new ideas emerge.' - Keith
Sawyer, Washington University in St Louis, US'This penetrating
volume both summarizes compellingly what we know about creativity
and examines critically loose concepts of creativity, cases where
creativity does harm, and deceptive hype about creativity. This
volume neither romanticizes creativity nor reduces it to the
servant of economic and cultural development, offering instead a
differentiated and penetrating examination of the nature of
creativity and its diverse positive and sometimes negative roles.'
- David Perkins, Harvard Graduate School of Education, US This
comprehensive yet concise Handbook provides an overview of
innovative approaches to, and new perspectives on, the study of
creativity. In this timely work, creativity is not defined by an
ideal, rather it encompasses a range of theories, functions,
characteristics, processes, products and practices that are
associated with the generation of novel and useful outcomes suited
to particular social, cultural and political contexts. Chapters
present original research by international scholars from a wide
range of disciplines including history, sociology, psychology,
philosophy, cultural studies, education, economics and
interdisciplinary studies. Their research investigates creativity
in diverse fields including art, creative industries, aesthetics,
design, new media, music, arts education, science, engineering and
technology. Containing cutting-edge research the Handbook of
Research on Creativity will strongly appeal to academics and
advanced students in cultural studies, creative industries, art
history and theory, experimental music and performance studies,
digital and new media studies, engineering, economics, sociology,
psychology and social psychology, management studies, and education
particularly visual arts education and music education. Policy
makers, managers and entrepreneurs will also find much to interest
them in this fascinating work. Contributors: S. Banaji, T. Barker,
