This groundbreaking book delves into the application of the conceptual framework of science and technology studies to the realm of creativity and problem-solving research, drawing upon and expanding upon the pioneering work of Bruno Latour. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the book presents novel research practices aimed at capturing the genesis of ideas. Latour encourages researchers to adopt a resolutely ethnographic methodology, tracing the intricate process by which a creative product, whether it be a technological innovation or a work of art, is constructed or instaured. Creativity is elucidated in terms of the microprocesses that guide and shape the development of a new idea, operating on and being triggered by material objects such as maquettes, models, drafts, or data representations. This systemic perspective casts creativity as an emergent outcome of the interplay between diverse elements and actants. The book offers critical reflections on problem-solving research, emphasizing the significance of William James' radical empiricism and the paramount role of experience. Moreover, it redefines the concept of insight as an outcome rather than the mere catalyst of a new idea.
The book utilizes the rich insights of Latour to shed new light on the field of creative cognition, making it an indispensable read for researchers and students engaged in the study of creativity and cognition. It also holds relevance for anyone interested in exploring the origins of creativity, ideas, and thoughts.
