Discourse and Creativity

Abstract

This collection presents a range of different perspectives on the relationship between discourse and creativity.It is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different type of discourse: The first section explores literary discourse, the second focuses on creativity in corporate and professional discourse, the third on creativity in multimodal discourse of various kinds, including advertising graphics, fine arts and music, with the final section addressing the impact of new technologies on creative texts and practices.In bringing together studies of creativity in such a wide variety of genres, media and modes from poetry to amateur skateboarding videos, and from such a variety of perspectives in discourse studies, from more traditional literary stylistics to newer approaches like multimodal and mediated discourse analysis, this volume aims to explore the different kinds of contributions discourse analysis can make to our understanding of creative products, the social and psychological processes that go into making them, and the ways they help to shape the identities, relationships and institutions that make up our societies.
