This paper aims to discuss the differences in the treatment of technical pro-gress determinants, therefore, productivity and economic growth in Celso Furtado’s work. Two of his major books are compared in detail: Desenvolvimento e subdesen­volvimento [Development and underdevelopment] from 1961, and Criatividade e de­pendência na civilização industrial [Creativity and dependency in the industrial civili­zation] from 1978. The general argument is that the differences in Furtardo’s interpretation related to technical progress determinants in these two books are an important aspect of the author’s ideas’ evolution and can illuminate the impor-tant changes in his theoretical perspectives that occurred during the 1970s.

In the last decades, the interest in creativity has grown significantly; its importance is related to the impact on the performance of companies since creativity is defined as the root of innovation. Even though research has been quite fruitful in many disciplines, its study in small and medium enterprises has been less explored. This article reviews the literature on creativity in small and medium enterprises and aims to establish proposals for future research. A bibliometric analysis was developed to achieve the objective mentioned above, considering the construction of scientific maps, performance analysis, and graphic maps. Additionally, a content analysis of the selected articles to establish the variables studied around creativity. The study has shown that it is necessary to increase research on creativity in small and medium businesses in a wide variety of topics. Therefore we offer a valuable framework to resolve existing gaps and guide future researchers.

The growing number of tourists has highlighted the tourist activity as one of the areas of greatest growth in recent times. The search for experiences, attractions, and new elements in destinations has led the actors involved to discuss how to produce new offers and ensure local development. It is in this context that creative tourism emergesas an element for the development of new forms of production and consumption. The spread of creative tourism led the city of Recife (Pernambuco-Brasil) to the construction of the Creative Tourism Plan, being the third city in the country to work in the segment. Thus, this paper was constructed to define the practices used to develop the plan. The methodology adopted was a qualitative approach, with descriptive nature, using in its operation bibliographical, documental, descriptive research, and with field participation, which included monitoring of all stages of the plan preparation. As a result, it is possible to highlight the efforts of public managers and the working group to make the process horizontal, with the participation of various sectors, the creative products used, the use of creativity and co-creation as key elements, and the creation of a body responsible for monitoring and reviewing the plan’s actions.

This essay discusses the care process of health professionals in the context of COVID-19 from the perspectives of psychoanalysis, under the prism of Donald Winnicott's transitional space, and of collective health, under the prism of the practical wisdom of José Ricardo Ayres, the micropolitics of live work in action by Emmerson Merhy, and prudent care by Ruben Mattos. It suggests elaborating a care perspective to propose a possible resignification of illness in a pandemic, where health is marked with calamity, health catastrophe, and suffering and anguish, whether in the body or subjectively. In this way, understanding the manifestation of care by health professionals in a pandemic context brought about with narcissistic and heroic meanings and feelings of impotence and helplessness contributes to elaborating a creative conception of care. We conclude that the perspective of expanded care favors the creative possibility of new productions of meaning and support for professionals, resignifying their life experiences through love, creativity, practical wisdom, prudent care, live work in action, and motor imaginary.

The use certain writers make of “substances”, like coffee, tobacco, or alcohol, to inspire themselves is an intriguing subject. Does dependence on such stimulants necessarily harm a writer´s judgment and ruin him in the end? Is it valid to condemn it as “addiction” when it is he or she who writes the book, not the bourbon or marijuana and what counts is its quality, not the writer´s character? Jimmy Weiskopf extends these concerns to three indigenous plant medicines of the Amazon with which he has tried to unleash his creativity –ayahuasca, mambe and ambil. Also basing himself on academic and indigenous accounts of their properties, he discusses their very different effects and comes to the unsurprising conclusion that there are no shortcuts to composing a decent novel or essay. Such plants may aid a writer, but they must be used with much restraint and especially, a respect for their familiars or “spirits”, which, in the indigenous view, are what animate an otherwise mute vegetal matter. In short, they are no replacement for talent, persistence, and hard work.

Advertising creativity has been scarcely operationalized and, considering the irregular lists of formats drawn up to date, few are the studies that have addressed the classification of the formulas or sources that help to create advertising messages. The aim of this study is to make a contribution in this respect by positing audiovisual narrative genres as useful and prolific sources for gaining strategic insights and establishing creative concepts. To this end, a content analysis was performed on a sample of 411 ads picking up awards or shortlisted at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity (2009-2018). Besides the audiovisual genre, positioning and product categories are also examined. The results indicate the importance of genres, especially comedy and drama, in advertising, while providing several practical pointers as regards their strategic and creative implications.

The article is devoted to the study and identification of ways to increase the development of the motivational and value component of the creativity of first-year students. The authors actualize the problem of activating professionally-oriented creative activity of students in the modern educational process, specify the concept of professional creativity. In the study, the authors identify and theoretically substantiate the ways of developing the motivational and value component of the creativity of first-year students in the educational space of the university on the example of the Belgorod Institute of Arts and Culture, offering an experimental model of the gradual development of professional creativity. A practical study of the development of the motivational and value component of the creativity of first-year students, which formed the basis of the general theory of professional creativity, was conducted.

This study aimed to analyze the effects of the diagnostic and interactive use of the performance measurement system (PMS) on organizational learning and improvisational and compositional creativity, considering the moderating effects of competitive intensity. A survey was carried out with education technology startups (EdTechs) of the Brazilian ecosystem, and the data were analyzed with structural equation modeling. The findings suggest a positive association of the use (diagnostic and interactive) of the PMS with organizational learning and of the latter with creativity (improvisational and compositional). Organizational learning mediates the relationship between PMS use and compositional creativity. In addition, the competitive intensity positively moderates the relationship between organizational learning and creativity (improvisational and compositional). The study aggregates new evidence of PMS use relative to organizational learning, extends the discussion on organizational learning to different levels of novelty in creativity (improvisational and compositional), and contributes to a flow of studies exploring the moderating role of competitive intensity. Subsidies for startup managers to conduct their activities in search of organizational learning and employee creativity are also presented.

The centrality of the proposal of this article is to discuss to what extent the investigation of the semi-diversity of culture reveals an atmosphere, whose power is capable of fostering creative and innovative explosions to the Creative Industries. In fact, given its configuration and complexity such an atmosphere is established in the extreme creative chaos, which is the basis of any innovative process. Certainly, culture points to a privileged articulation to apprehend the unpredictable mechanisms of creativity, whose character is established in disruptive innovations. It is certainly that such research shows that this path opens up for the engendering of unprecedented formats and products, thus expanding the field of coverage of a Creative and Cultural Economy.

Gianni Rodari gave us an ideology of childhood that revolutionized the way we interpret its experiences and with them the educational proposals. The category of Fantasy has become a lens through which to read a world that, for the first time, appeared fabulous, incorrupt, creative and, above all, competent. On the other hand, and in stark contrast, the adult pan-paedagogism turned out to be boring, reactionary, moralistic and even harmful. The Rodarian utopia begins to fade already in the 1980s when the educational but also economic values of technological pragmatism (Bini G., 2000) are imposed. These reflections try to compare that image of childhood with the one we see today in the school, among the gears of technology, in the reverent attitude that adults give to digital natives. The investigation has an interpretative nature and follows a qualitative approach while making use of the quantitative contributions of previous research conducted on the subject.

Abstract Policy-makers and scholars agree that creativity and socio-emotional competencies can be taught, learned, and enhanced through creative arts like theatre. Nevertheless, few authors have studied the processes underlying both constructs in artistic education, which would permit to understand how children develop them and re-create adapted methodologies. Thus, we proposed to observe a drama pedagogy training for elementary school children, evaluating their creative thinking and theory-of-mind. To understand perspective-thinking as a process underlying creative thinking and theory-of-mind in the context of drama pedagogy training. Quasi-experimental pre-post-test design. Standardized tests analysis, plus thematic analysis from observation of 240 minutes recording of drama pedagogy training. Higher increase in creative thinking with a strong effect of drama pedagogy training on divergent thinking. Thematic analyses showed that drama pedagogy training activities focus mainly on socio-emotional competency (linked to theory-of-mind). Perspective-taking appears as an underlying process that explains both creative thinking and the development of socio-emotional competencies by permitting the child to see from another person’s perspective, providing several ideas-solutions for a problem (creative thinking), as well as understanding other people’s emotions and motivations (theory-of-mind).

In this research we intend to study the role of art in the creative process, in engineering courses at the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR), as a factor of technological innovation. It is a qualitative research that is characterized, as a method, for adopting a naturalistic and descriptive perspective. The sample is composed of students and graduates (10); by teachers, coordinators and directors of Education and the Pato Branco Campus (10); Dean (1); Entrepreneurs (4). In the analysis and discussion of results, from semi-structured interviews, we opted for Content Analysis having in perspective the Theory of Social Representations of Moscovici (1978). Among the main conclusions, we highlight the valorization of creative, interpersonal and communicative skills, as fundamental competences in the formation of an engineer. It is also highlighted that the role of art in engineering can enhance creativity and constitute it as a factor of technological innovation. This being able to promote the imagination and the capacity for abstraction necessary and fundamental in the design of projects in engineering and in the communicational plan. The integration of art in formal training, at the moment, does not constitute an institutional option nor does it contribute to a significant dialogical relationship between curricular activities and extracurricular artistic activities (“Grupo de Teatro Artífice” of UTFPR). Keywords: Higher Education, Engineering, Art, Creativity, Communication, Culture

This article examines the relationship between determination and freedom in the human act of creation mediated by the use of sign systems. To this end, an approximation is made between György Lukács’ philosophical-ontological reflection on the dialectic between teleology and causality in work activity and analysis carried out by Lev Vigotski on the importance of sign systems for human psychic development. It is concluded that creation involves complex relations between the freedom of the subjects and the socio-cultural determinations.

This study is part of a larger research project that aims to understand/analyze the concept of self-organization and its implications on the study of creativity, more specifically looking to identify the phenomena understood as self-organized in the creativity process. Through the analysis of a text in which the Russian author Varlam Chalámov, describes how his process of creation occurs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we discuss the role played by abductive reasoning and admirableness in the creative processes in the Big Data era. The conceptions of creativity, in the mechanistic and antimechanistic scope, are introduced by means of examples in the domain of photographic production, as is the case of Maureen Bisilliat (1995) and Nan Goldin (2012) works. As our investigation is essentially theoretical and interdisciplinary, it is mainly based on the literature on the concepts of creativity, abductive reasoning, and admirableness; it is grounded in different areas of knowledge, including Pragmatism, Literature, Visual arts and the Philosophy of Information. We discuss the limitations of mechanistic conceptions of creativity, arguing in defense of the hypothesis that creative action is not strictly related to the created object, but to a long collaborative process between agents that will assist (directly or indirectly) in the production of artistic works. In the conclusion, the role of emotions is highlighted in the dynamics of the creative/abductive process, as proclaimed by Charles Sanders Peirce (1958). Inspired by this author, we emphasize the role of admirableness in the process of creation - understood here as a feeling that encourages us to investigate and get to know the objects that attract our attention, without the desire for controlling them.

The theory of two systems (see Kahneman, 2011) in its several versions assumes that human decision-making is based on two cognitive systems, one that is automatic, fast, acting with minimal cognitive effort, intuitive (see Morewedge & Kahneman, 2010) and mostly unconscious, and one that is reflexive, slow, acting with intense cognitive effort, rational and fully conscious. In this work we investigate the theory of the two systems and their application in the economy of Democratic Governments with special emphasis on Kahneman's Two Systems Theory (2011). We consider his approach incomplete and limited in accounting for the intuitive process that drives decision making. This limitation leads us to argue for the existence of a third system in decision-making in Economy, the creative ecological intuition based on the attunement between affective drives and direct perception of affordances, addressing not only the dispositions and goals of agents, but also the social and environmental responsibility of corporations and governments. We argue that the third decision-making system we propose implies a concept of intuition that is different from the type of association process discussed by Morewedge and Kahneman (2010), and give an example of the third system operation the decision-making process that led to the formation of theFinapop Bank, in Brazil.

Poet Fernando Pessoa and psychiatrist C. G. Jung developed their works consonant with their biographies. Both described episodes that can be interpreted as mediumistic, seeking to understand them psychologically. In current psychological literature, mediumship is associated to the concept of personality dissociation. In this regard, this article examines the relationship between dissociation and mediumship based on Pessoa's and Jung's biographical episodes, in light of analytical psychology and anomalistic psychology. It is hypothesized that they experienced creative, non-pathological dissociations, although some level of suffering was involved. Pessoa's experiences are related to his hetoronymic production, whereas Jung's are tied with the development of his psychological model, which offers elements for a psychobiographical and artistic study of the poet.

This article highlights part of the research carried out in the professional Master in Education and New Technologies, in a teaching institution and by the research group of a federal public university, which investigate issues related to the design of inclusion and other aspects associated with creative and collective actions for the implementation of interface design projects for applications and podcasts. From a demand to generate new ideas, procedures were applied for this purpose, to supply different educational contexts. The methodology is based on research-application, through which researchers adopt collective practices to develop and apply to more creative design proposals or problem solving (Plomp et al., 2018). After that experience, three procedures or techniques for generating creative ideas and collectively were studied and applied: Brainstorming; Design Thinking and Sprint. In this way, we seek to discuss in this article how procedures to stimulate creativity can serve to engage learners to implement collaborative projects in the classroom or even for different educational needs that seek inter-subjective relationships and interactions. The following authors are highlighted in the theoretical support: Bender (2015); Behrens (2014); Fleith (2001; 2006), Valente and Almeida (2014), Garcia and Czeszak (2019), among others. The results, still preliminary, guide the possibilities of a framework of good practices that align procedures that generate creative ideas, based on the support of active methodologies, for the development of educational projects, as long as the participation of students is considered positive, consistent and engaged.

This paper describes a two-day composition workshop dedicated to the toy piano held in 2019 at a state middle school with a musical address in Italy. Eight young pupils in the early years of their piano studies took part. The resulting compositions are shown and indicate that the toy piano is a useful means to stimulate creativity in young pupils. A further consideration addressed is that operating in the educational field means expanding the future audience with respect to new musical languages and means of musical expression. In discussing both pedagogical practise and composing and performing, the author’s aim is to contribute to the comprehension of the ‘toy piano phenomenon’ which in recent years has increasingly seen this instrument take centre stage on the contemporary music scene.

The study aimed to analyze the relationship between the perceived utility level of budget functions in empowerment and creativity. An exploratory and quantitative research was developed, with primary data from a questionnaire applied to 100 managers in Brazilian organizations of information technology. Data were treated by Structural Equation Modeling. Thus, the perceived utility of budget functions provides employees with the belief that they are free to make choices within a certain defined space limit, which provides the support and autonomy structure necessary for empowerment and, in turn, the creativity.

Play is a very important activity for children development and there are evidences that it can be an added value when used for educational purposes. Research about how to integrate play in education points to the importance of teacher role, namely how children play can be scaffold and guided. However, there is also lack of agreement about how to guide children playing and the impact of the guidance in the activity development and competences promoted. Given the characteristics of automata, especially the fact that they include a narrative and a mechanism, they can be used within a play based pedagogy, to implement activities related to plan and construct toys and to promote competences as observation, problem solving, creativity in the STEM areas. To explore this potential of moving toys to promote STEM in the early years of schooling is the aim of the Erasmus + AutoSTEM project. This work aims to describe the main objectives and resources of the AutoSTEM project, including the description of a workshop to construct a toy with a sliding mechanism, the Jelly Bird. The procedures involved the presentation and observation of the toy, detailed instructions on how to construct it, the decoration and the elaboration of a narrative about it. 23 children from the 2nd year of basic education participated in the workshop. The analysis of the prototypes shows that all the participants built them properly. Also some alternative ideas to the proposal initially presented emerged, as well as a diversity of narratives. These data suggest that the instructions enhanced the construction of the prototype, but did not inhibit the creativity of the work developed.

Abstract: The metaphors used in non-poetic contexts are mostly conventional. This study, which is part of a broader research, analyzes the emergence of – and the relationship between – conventional and novel/creative metaphors in Biology video lessons. The theoretical basis is composed of the Theory of Conceptual Metaphor (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 2002; LAKOFF; TURNER, 1989) and the Perspective of Metaphor in Discourse (SEMINO, 2008). Thus, the general objective of this paper is to verify the emergence of conceptual and linguistic metaphors produced by teachers in Biology video lessons, as well as to analyze their degree of novelty and/or conventionality. The data analyzed came from YouTube video subtitles, and the methodology used to identify metaphors in speech was the MIP (PRAGGLEJAZ GROUP, 2007). The results indicate that creative metaphors are present in the discourse of these teachers and play a relevant role in the presentation of scientific content. Keywords: metaphor; creativity; conventionality; video lessons; textual patterns. Resumo: As metáforas empregadas em contextos não poéticos apresentam-se majoritariamente de forma convencional. O presente estudo, que faz parte de uma pesquisa mais abrangente, trata da análise da emergência de – e da relação entre – metáforas convencionais e novas/criativas em videoaulas de Biologia. O aporte teórico é composto pela Teoria da Metáfora Conceptual (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 2002; LAKOFF; TURNER, 1989) e pela Perspectiva da Metáfora no Discurso (SEMINO, 2008). Desse modo, o objetivo geral deste artigo é verificar a emergência de metáforas conceptuais e linguísticas produzidas por professores em videoaulas de Biologia, assim como analisar seu grau de novidade e/ou convencionalidade. Os dados analisados são provenientes de legendas de videoaulas do YouTube, e a metodologia empregada na identificação de metáforas no discurso foi o MIP (PRAGGLEJAZ GROUP, 2007). Os resultados indicam que metáforas criativas estão presentes no discurso desses professores e desempenham um papel relevante na apresentação de conteúdos científicos. Palavras-chave: metáfora; criatividade; convencionalidade; videoaulas; padrões textuais.

In today's contemporary world, the beginning of the 21st century, scientific and technological changes are accelerating and exponential growth so the nursery school needs to create the means to adapt to this whole evolutionary process of humanity. The objective of this work is to suggest innovative practices for the teaching of mathematics in children's education under the perspective of the child's creativity. The teaching of mathematics in children's education must be balanced with activities that can awaken in the child the creativity necessary to reach the solution of the problem proposed. Given this argument and for better learning of mathematics in children's education, we propose some activities associated with children's abilities, among them, numerical, verbal and spatial. It is hoped that this model of teaching and learning mathematics in early childhood education, through the three skills, is connected with the reality of the apprentice child.

The challenge involved in the teaching of musical composition is somewhat analogous to the issue of reconciling theory and practice; this is when the teacher– student relationship triggers a flow of information that leads to the construction of new concepts that are established by either or both sides. The present paper emerged from a roundtable held at the “The Teaching of Composition at the University” colloquium, which took place at the State University of Paraná in November 2019. The authors did not attempt to arrive at definitive conclusions but, rather, point out directions for critical reflection and practical approaches about the issue of teaching composition. The occasion was also an excellent one for sharing didactic experiences taking place at universities in Brazil and abroad.

In the town of Oñati (Basque Country, Spain) we find the community project of Eltzia: a public initiative aimed at enriching local cultural life through the articulation of its creative people. Eltzia is enlightening for having a model of organisation that can be related to the Basque Country’s cooperative movement, but also for showing the benefits of popular participation in culture policymaking. This research explores Eltzia as an example of democratization of cultural policy through the involvement of citizens; an expression of cultural rights that engages with how law is interpreted. Eltzia emerged from a municipal initiative and its creation was influenced by the participation of the local groups and a private company providing mediation services in social processes of community development. The analysis will focus on the contributions that are drawn from Eltzia in relation to the fields of cultural policy and socio-legal studies. El proyecto comunitario de Eltiza se desarrolla en Oñati (País Vasco, España): se trata de una iniciativa pública que tiene por objetivo enriquecer la vida cultural local a partir de la articulación de las personas con intereses creativos. Eltzia es ilustrador de un modelo de organización que se puede relacionar con el movimiento de cooperativas del País Vasco, pero que también muestra los beneficios de la participación popular en los procesos de diseño de política pública. Esta investigación explora Eltzia como un ejemplo de la democratización de la política cultural a través de la participación ciudadana; una expresión de derechos culturales que atiende a los procesos de interpretación del derecho. Eltzia surge de una iniciativa municipal y su creación fue influenciada por la participación de grupos locales y una compañía privada dedicada a los servicios de mediación en procesos sociales de desarrollo comunitario. El análisis se enfocará en las contribuciones que se derivan de Eltzia en relación con los campos de la políticual cultural y los estudios socio-jurídicos.

The following is a remixed excerpt from a book-length manuscript titled My Life as an Artificial Creative Intelligence. The book is constructed as a theoretical fiction composed by the “author” Mark Amerika in collaboration with a GPT-2 language model. The book was written as an improvisational call-and-response writing performance with an AI text generator and is arranged as a series of intellectual provocations that investigate the creative process across the human-nonhuman spectrum. Critically reflecting on whether or not creativity itself is, at root, a nonhuman information behavior that emerges from an onto-operational presence experiencing an otherworldly aesthetic sensibility, the author playfully engages with his cyberpunk imagination to simultaneously embrace and problematize human-machine collaborations. Contrary to most contemporary AI research that attempts to build AI systems that perform more like humans, Amerika flips the script and, in My Life as an Artificial Creative Intelligence, questions how his own “psychic automatism” is itself a nonhuman function strategically designed to reveal the poetic attributes of programmable worlds still unimagined.

This article asks whether we can make embodied sense of the Anthropocene, and if so, how we might locate ourselves in a more empathic relationship with the non-human world? By feeling, at the personal scale, the part we play in the natural systems that support life, we may become more able to make the necessary changes in our actions to address the global-scale degradation of nature. I discuss somatic and creative practices that offer tools for cultivating a sense of presence in and as nature, giving examples of artists’ creative practices, including some of my own choreographic explorations aiming to embody the ‘landscape in the figure’.

Objective: Objective of this research was to identify segments of individuals in relation to creativity and collaboration and their relationship with professional recognition. Design / methodology / approach: To achieve the objective, the authors opted for a quantitative approach with undergraduate students of different levels of creativity. A cluster analysis was conducted as the main method, supported by exploratory factor analysis and analysis of variance. Results: The results showed that young professionals (aged between 22 and 30 years) and with a professional experience of up to 5 years, value the interaction and sharing of knowledge and experience among peers, in order to improve their individual performance, mainly in activities that demand creativity. Originality / value: The research is justified due a small amount of scientific works that performed a comparative research between individuals who carry out activities that demand creativity and individuals who carry out tasks that require less creativity, to assess the influence of interpersonal relationships.

In engineering education, creativity is valued for being related to innovation, but there are challenges to be faced in order to encourage it in the undergraduate context. Seeking to offer conditions for the development of creativity in higher education, the literature investigates theexistence of personal and environmental factors that can facilitate or inhibit the creative expression. The objective was to identify predictors of barriers to creativity in engineering students, considering personal and academic variables. Three hundred and seventy-four students participated, responding to the Questionnaire for Sample Characterization and Inventory of Barriers to Personal Creativity. Multiple logistic regression was used for data processing. The response variable (whether or not they agree with factors that reflect barriers to personal creativity) was explained taking into account predictor variables (age, gender, type of course, period of course and job).
