Course content:
How do innovations come about? Every creative person, every musician, every artist, every designer and meanwhile also some CEOs from top management know that their own highly differentiated innovative work practice is not based on theoretical knowledge alone. Rather, innovations usually emerge from situations and from practical activity.
So, especially in the field of creative work, there is a different epistemology at play than the one taught at universities. This epistemology of the creative is not derived from formulas but emerges in action; its knowledge is not abstract but materialises in practice, it is not absolute but emerges from the appropriation of atmospheres and events, it is not explanatory but model-like, not objective but identity-forming.
Insights into such a creative episteme are offered by the practical part of the model and experimental course "Creativity and Performance".
In the reflexive part of the module offered here, the aim is to supplement this by intellectually penetrating these processes. This seminar will in turn be action-based learning.
