CREATIVITY AND THE AGILE MIND GEBUNDEN

Creativity is a highly-prized quality in any modern endeavor  whether artistic  scientific or
professional. Though a much-studied subject  and the topic of a great many case-studies  the
field of creativity research is still very much an open one. Creativity remains a field where
absolute definitions hold very little water  and where true insight can only emerge when we
properly appreciate - from a nuanced  multi-disciplinary perspective - the crucial distinction
between the producer's perspective and the consumer's perspective. Theories that afford us a
critical appreciation of a creative work do not similarly afford a explanatory insight into the
origins and development of the work. As researchers  we must approach creativity both as
producers - to consider the vast search-spaces that a producer encounters  and to appreciate
the need for heuristic strategies for negotiating this space - and as consumers  to appreciate
the levels of shared knowledge (foreground and background) that is exploited by the producer to
achieve a knowingly creative effect in the mind of the consumer. This volume thus brings
together both producers and consumers in a cross-disciplinary exploration of this complex 
many-faceted phenomenon.
