Creativity and Time: A Sociological Exploration

This book argues that the pursuit of originality is essential for creativity, and that it refers to both origin and originary. It is structured into two parts, exploring creation myths, games, dialectic chaos-order, axial civilizations, and the struggle between generations. These two concepts are interconnected, creating a temporal narrative that has been dislocated in late modernity, leading to the breakdown of creativity.

This book makes a compelling argument that the pursuit of originality holds a paramount significance in the realm of creativity. It goes on to clarify that the term "originality" encompasses both the concept of origin and the concept of originary. Consequently, the book is organized into two distinct parts, each dedicated to exploring different creative categories. The first part focuses on the realm of origin, encompassing creation myths, games, the dialectic of chaos and order, axial civilizations, and the generational struggle. These elements serve as the foundational pillars of cultural activity and hold immense historical and societal relevance. Within the second part, the book delves into the realm of originary, exploring creative capitalism, creative work within the global economy of risk and uncertainty, and representative democracy. While these two concepts may seem separate, they are intricately interconnected, revealing the mechanisms through which creative originality shapes a temporal narrative. It is worth noting that in the context of late modernity, the concept of originality has been displaced, leading to a breakdown in creativity. This book serves as a powerful exploration of the relationship between originality, creativity, and the broader socio-cultural landscape, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of artistic expression and its potential for social transformation.
