Creativity in Transition by Birgit Meyer

Creativity in Transition by Birgit Meyer

Exploring creative practices in various settings, the book calls attention to the spread of modernist discourses of creativity, from the colonial era to the current obsession with 'innovation' in neo-liberal capitalist cultural politics...

“The editors’ and contributors’ point about the relative and collaborative nature of creativity is well made in the volume, and the ethnographic examples shine interesting light on diverse corners of culture while pinpointing a number of shared issues” • Anthropology Review Database

“This book is an important contribution to the growing literature on appropriation and the aesthetics of change. Conceiving creativity as process rather than outcome is the key argument of the book whose contributors discuss the argument in numerous ways and case studies.” • Peter Probst, Tufts University
