Handbook of Culture and Creativity

Basic Processes and Applied Innovations

Edited by Angela K.-Y. Leung, Letty Kwan and Shyhnan Liou

Series : Frontiers in Culture and Psychology

The Handbook of Culture and Creativity is a collaborative effort to provide readers with an in-depth and systematic inquiry into the cultural processes of creativity and innovation, as well as the creative processes of cultural transformation.

As the editors acknowledge, creativity emerges from dialogical interaction with cultural imperatives, norms, and artifacts, but culture also evolves and transforms through a generative process fueled by creativity. In order to illuminate nuanced insights on the complex culture-creativity nexus, this volume is organized into four broad sections: reciprocal relationships, socio-cultural contexts, diversifying experiences and creativity, and policy and applied perspectives.

Edited by Angela K.-Y. Leung, Letty Kwan, and Shyhnan Liou, this cogent volume features cutting-edge evidence and research, and lays the groundwork for pursuing a new science for integrating the study of culture and creativity.

Readership : Researchers, graduate/postgraduate students studying creativity and undergraduate students taking advanced courses related to the psychology of creativity.
