Systemic Creative Cognition Bruno Latour for Creativity Researchers

Systemic Creative Cognition Bruno Latour for Creativity Researchers

This unique book explores how the conceptual framework of science and technology studies can be applied to creativity and problem-solving research drawing from and building on the work of Bruno Latour. Using an interdisciplinary approach the book outlines new research practices to capture the origin of ideas. Latour enjoins researchers to adopt a resolutely ethnographic methodology to trace the process by which a creative product be it a technological innovation or a work of art is constructed or instaured. Creativity is explained in terms of the microprocesses that guide and constrain the development of a new idea. These microprocesses operate on and are triggered by material objects be they maquettes models drafts or data representations. The resulting perspective is systemic casting creativity as emerging from the interaction among heterogenous elements and actants. The book provides critical reflections on problem-solving research and stresses the importance of William James’s radical empiricism and the primary role of experience. The book redefines the concept of insight as an outcome rather than the cause of a new idea. The book uses the work of Latour to cast a new light on the field of creative cognition and will be an essential read for researchers and students of creativity and cognition. It will also be relevant for anyone interested in understanding the origin of creativity ideas and thoughts. | Systemic Creative Cognition Bruno Latour for Creativity Researchers

Latour for Architects

Latour for Architects

Bruno Latour is one of the leading figures in Social Sciences today but his contributions are also widely recognised in the arts. His theories ‘flourished’ in the 1980s in the aftermath of the structuralism wave and generated new concepts and methodologies for the understanding of the social. In the past decade Latour and his Actor-Network Theory (ANT) have gained popularity among researchers in the field of architecture. Latour for Architects is the first introduction to the key concepts and ideas of Bruno Latour that are relevant to architects. First the book discusses critically how specific methods and insights from his philosophy can inspire new thinking in architecture and design pedagogy. Second it explores examples from architectural practice and urban design and reviews recent attempts to extend the methods of ANT into the fields of architectural and urban studies. Third the book advocates an ANT-inspired approach to architecture and examines how its methodological insights can trace new research avenues in the field reflecting meticulously on its epistemological offerings. Drawing on many lively examples from the world of architectural practice the book makes a compelling argument about the agency of architectural design and the role architects can play in re-ordering the world we live in. Following Latour’s philosophy offers a new way to handle all the objects of human and nonhuman collective life to re-examine the role of matter in design practice and to redefine the forms of social political and ethical associations that bind us together in cities.

The Trial of Giordano Bruno

The Trial of Giordano Bruno

In 1600 Giordano Bruno one of the leading intellectuals of the Renaissance was burned at the stake on the charge of heresy by the Roman Inquisition. He is remembered primarily for his cosmological theories particularly that the universe was infinite with the Earth not being at its centre. Today he has become a symbol of the struggle for religious and philosophical tolerance. The Trial of Giordano Bruno originally published in Italian in 2018 provides English audiences with a complete and updated reconstruction of the inquisitorial trial by analysing the accusations witnesses and legal proceedings in detail. The author also gives a detailed profile of Bruno as well as the body which arrested and accused him – the Inquisition. This book will appeal to all those interested in the life and death of Giordano Bruno as well as those interested in Early Modern legal proceedings the Roman Inquisition and the history of religious and philosophical tolerance.
