This course will study the boom of the notion of "creativity" which we have experienced in recent years within a broad range of normally secrete discourses: psychology, pedagogy, cultural theory, art theory, political theory, management theory, economics, geography, and sociology, as well as politics and policy making. Not so many years ago, things were quite different, given the fact that this concept was mainly used when speaking of the arts - and especially the artist genius. Now, everything and everyone is creative.
This change of affairs obviously raises a number of questions: What does this concept really refer to? Does it refer to the same phenomenon within all these different discourses? Or are we simply talking about different things? How has the meaning(s) of this notion changed? How has this concept become such a predominant concern? And not least: why now? What has changed: the kinds of practices and exchanges we engage in, creativity itself, or perhaps even man? While mainly focusing on the present situation, some inspection of the history of this concept will also be required. This genealogical dimension will primarily focus on the (idea of) artistic imagination, fantasy, and creation. A number of recent objections to this tendency will also be discussed.
The study of this particular travelling concept, "creativity", should furthermore accommodate reflection on the art of interdisciplinary thinking in more general terms, both within the confines of the arts and aesthetic thinking, and beyond.
The course is especially relevant for students in the arts, in psychology, pedagogy, cultural theory, political theory, management theory, economics and sociology but open as well for students from other fields interested in the subject.
