The framework within which the creative capacity proper to the human species is nowadays read is decidedly “positive”: it is very rare to come across “negative” readings, if not in a generally ironic sense (linked to “creative interpretations” of laws, morals, responsibility, etc.).

We will focus on the reconstruction of a historical-cultural framework that has also seen the social prestige of this energy change considerably, after which I will look at its theoretical categorizations, its practical and symbolic operational dynamics, and its relationship with intelligence.

Abstract
The framework within which the creative capacity proper to the human species is nowadays read is decidedly “positive”: it is very rare to come across “negative” readings, if not in a generally ironic sense (linked to “creative interpretations” of laws, morals, responsibility, etc.). Yet, this was not always the case. We will focus on the reconstruction of a historical-cultural framework that has also seen the social prestige of this energy change considerably, after which I will look at its theoretical categorizations, its practical and symbolic operational dynamics, and its relationship with intelligence. This introductory frame- work will allow us to enter more consciously into the specific investiga- tion of this volume, namely the in-depth study of the social dimensions of this individual and collective capacity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
