on creativity

So….

I am currently writing on ‘creativity’ in education. Mainly about how ‘creativity’ has been co-opted by business gurus and the like and ‘sold’ like any other form of capital…

Counter-actualized by a Deleuzian notion of creativity…

SO MUCH GOOD STUFF!

“Philosophy is not communicative, any more than it is contemplative and reflective: it is creative or even revolutionary, by nature, in that it is ceaselessly creating new concepts. The only condition is that these should have a necessity, as well as a strangeness, and they have both to the extent they respond to real problems. Concepts are what stops thought being mere opinion, a view, an exchange of views, gossip” (Deleuze, G., 1995 Negotiations).

“Thinking is always experiencing, experimenting, not interpreting but experimenting, and what we experience, experiment with, is always actuality, what’s coming into being, what’s new, what’s taking shape”(Deleuze, G., 1995 Negotiations).

More to come…
