Among the skills of the 21st century, creativity is an aspect that needs to be developed. The use of games in educational environments is important because it uses creativity, autonomy, and the exchange of ideas. In this article, the results of a research study that focused on creating a game development environment using the SCRATCH platform, based on the principles of STEM education, are presented. The main objective was to analyze the characteristics of a maker environment and identify signs of creativity manifested by teachers in initial training during the construction of games. The study involved the participation of 39 students from the Degree in Basic Education at the University of Minho, in Portugal. The adopted methodology was a case study based on the qualitative paradigm. Data were collected through participant observation, individual interviews and analysis of documents produced by the participants. The signs of creative learning were analyzed. It is possible to notice that teamwork, freedom of creation and the environment provide support so that the students can produce more efficiently and highlight their creative aspects.

The Brazilian Way ("jeitinho brasileiro", in Potuguese) is a social strategy that aims to solve problems through negotiations. Despite the importance of developing this skill from childhood, there is a lack of assessment tools for children. The objective of this study is to adapt the Questionnaire on the Brazilian Way - Individual Version for children by presenting evidence of validity and accuracy. Initially, we have worked with a sample of 131 participants. However, in an effort to primarily access children, eight participants were excluded due to being over the age of 13. Thus, the study works with a sample of 123 children, with a majority being girls (61.2%), with a mean age of 10.5 years (SD = 1.78), distributed from 1st to 7th grade of Elementary School, as follows: 7.4% from 1st and 2nd; 39.9% from 3rd and 4th; 37.4% from 5th and 6th; and 15.4% from 7th grade. After conducting exploratory factors analysis, the results indicate a coherent structure composed of two factors, whose content related to understanding the Brazilian Way ("jeitinho") runs through antisocial behaviors (11 items) and creativity (5 items). Together, these factors explain 37.5% of the variance and show satisfactory internal consistency, providing a useful measure for research and assessment of the construct with children samples.

The present work has as its starting point the rejection that D.W. Winnicott expresses in different parts of his work to the death drive. The objective is to map aspects of the concept the author disagrees with, as well as to explain the proposed alternatives. From the outset we identify a fundamental dissociation between the idea that there is a constitutional aggressiveness to the subject and the conception that such aggressiveness is imbued with an equally constitutional hatred. We also found a notion of trauma that largely dispenses with the drive aspect in favor of valuing the role of the environment, as it is the environment that fails the subject, especially in the early days of life. Finally, the return to the Freudian inorganic gives way to curative regression in the psychoanalytic setting. Underlying all these ideas is a fundamental horizon in ethical, theoretical and clinical terms: creative living. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this contribution, the author presents a refoundation of transcendental phenomenology in terms of “generative phenomenology”. Four perspectives for entering this “generative phenomenology” are outlined – respectively through a consideration of being in phenomenology, creativity, ontogenesis and a reinterpretation of the very concept of the “transcendental” through a descent beneath the phenomenal sphere. This last perspective is developed in more detail and implements a methodological way, a way through the transcendental logic and a way through the structures of transcendentality (which are made explicit in the “generative matrix of the meaningformation” [Sinnbildung]).

The present text is the result of a master's degree in education research at the University of Uberaba (Uniube) linked to the line of research Professional Development, Teaching Work and Teaching-Learning Process. We seek through research to defend a space for Early Childhood Education with didactic proposals that consider play, creativity, and language. When delving into the theme, we understand that it is necessary to break with the duality of becoming and assistentialism, recognizing the child as a "subject of rights", considering the child's conditions and the particularities of the psyche. In this way, the present text aims to highlight the importance of play, of language and of creativity in the context of Early Childhood Education, with a theoretical contribution from the Historical-Cultural perspective. The bibliographic and documental research sought to organize charts, tables, summaries, personal notes through reading records and thus establish relationships between the triad: language, play, creativity and contribute with didactic proposals for Early Childhood Education considering the current legislation. We conclude that the principles of the Historical-Cultural Theory contribute to an intentional practice that values childhood in its different languages, recognizing an interventionist action and respect for singularities.

Creative processes and their relationship with social innovation are the central theme of this study because they are differentiating factors for companies in the face of current social and economic change scenarios. In this context, the question imposed is: how do creative processes relate to social innovation actions in the three large companies surveyed? The objective of this investigation, then, is to analyze the relationships between the creative process and social innovation practices in three organizations, based on 2020 sustainability reports. bibliographical and documental analysis through reports of three large companies, in a qualitative theoretical research. The organizations correspond to three different sectors of the economy that, for the purposes of this study, were named as "Company 1 - Clothing Industry and Trade", "Company 2 - Pulp Industry" and "Company 3 - Financial Institution". they are classified as large companies because they have more than a thousand employees and all have one of their headquarters in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre/RS. Among the results, it was observed that, of the three companies surveyed, the company with the greatest tendency towards social innovation is also the one with the most factors that promote the development of practices to make people more creative.

Based on a state-of-the-art study, the article aimed to analyze how the theme "Art and Science in teacher education" has been addressed in important Science Teaching events and journals over the last 20 years (2001-2021) in order to better understand the focus of researches that have been developed and the possibilities related to this theme. We found 77 papers which discussed the Art and Science relationship, most from the last decade, with only 19 focused on teacher education. Although few in number, such studies demonstrate several possibilities to explore based on the interdisciplinarity proposed by them (areas that can be related, target audience, strategies, and types of art), as well as contributions to teacher education, ranging from knowledge improvements to a more critical reflection, a rethinking of the teaching practice, reflections on oneself and one's own body and the development of creativity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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). The main results suggest variables like female gender and first year of the course are predictors for the Inhibition/Shyness barrier; and first and second years of the course are predictors for the Social Repression barrier. These results are important to expand personal resources and strengthen an institutional culture focused on the appreciation and development of creativity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Describe the applicability of the creativity and sensitivity dynamics tree of knowledge of the sensitive creative method with nurses who care for children in primary care in the Amazon region during fires. The metaphor of the tree materialized in artistic production with the questions that generate debate, enabled a welcoming, relaxed environment, with collectivization of experiences, determining empirical vertical, deep and coherent material. Space was a catalyst for critical reflections on the social and professional role of nurses, concerned with sustainability in the face of environmental particularities, the child group, and their family. The dynamics manifest themselves as an alternative strategy to build an epistemology in nursing with a sensitive look at the interface between health and the environment. It is a challenging paradigmatic change for science, by respecting the subject in its uniqueness and rethinking a new place for social actors, no longer passive, but active and interactive in the production of knowledge.

In the early stages of emotional development, the mother can reach such a heightened level of sensitivity that she can adapt to the baby's primary needs. This special maternal state often serves as an inspiration for artistic production when the artist's aesthetic experience is put at the service of his creative power, which is embodied in the creative act. Based on these premises, this study aims to illustrate the singularities of the mother-infant relationship in the beginnings of emotional development through the reading of the work of art through the vertex of Winnicott's psychoanalytic theory, considering the place that art can have in human life. Five sculptures by artist Felícia Leirner compose the corpus of analysis. These works of art metaphorize the development path of the relationship between mother, father, and baby in the wake of the temporal flow that characterizes the first months of development. We also identified in artistic objects the relevance of the environment in the initial stage as a platform for healthy emotional growth throughout life. Instead of using psychoanalytic understanding for the exegesis of artistic work, we propose the inverse movement, in which it is the work that contributes to illuminating psychoanalytic thinking, highlighting nuances that can enrich the understanding of one of the founding themes of Winnicottian theory, child emotional development, suggesting new possibilities of approximation between psychoanalysis and art.

The main objective is to create reflections about the different expression of human intelligence, and how it could be approached for conduct in a better way the individual and social development. This essay proposes to share with society in general that the abilities of each individual could became an exercise of citizenship and intelligence can be understood as social patrimony. So, it is the society role to offer all the resources, so everyone, with special deficiency or efficiency, could develop individually and socially. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

What are the relationships that orbit the teaching-learning process in a context in which transformations are recurrent? How should a teacher behave in the face of a picture of increasingly consistent and imminent demands from students? How to define a student who sees in the teacher a positive reference in order to substantiate his intellectual and professional formation? Is it possible for the teacher to teach innovatively in diverse and plural academic settings? What connections are there between education and entrepreneurship? If it is undertaken as a behavior, how should the teacher act in order to stimulate and develop the entrepreneurial spirit of his students? What factors characterize the creative teacher? In spite of innovation as a starting point for many of today's reformist evidence, can a teacher advocate a more humanistic didactic relationship, without giving up the traditional model of didactic transposition? It is these questions that open the discussions of this work, whose purpose was to discuss the relevance of the entrepreneurial initiative in the academic space, reinforcing the seminal idea that creative, dynamic and innovative teaching invariably promotes the quality of teaching and stimulates the student, without endangering the teacher's autonomy.

Over the years, information and communication technologies started to be inserted in schools, and with that, gamification emerged as a way to improve the teaching and learning of students, and there are already scientific productions that deal with the application of gamification in education. Therefore, this research aims to present a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications on gamification applied to education. Regarding the methodology, this study is classified as quantitative exploratory. A bibliometric analysis was carried out through a search in the Scopus database, and 210 publications were found between the years 2013 to 2019. The results show that the scientific productions aimed at the application of gamification in education are recent, since data were found from 2013. In addition, it was found that Spain was the country where there is a greater concentration of publications related to the subject under study. The use of the VOSviewer program identified keywords that correspond to the gamification application, showing that its use is necessary to verify if what is being analyzed involves the object of the research study. Thus, it is understood that the publications show that the studies focused on gamification, applied to education, have been growing, however these studies are recent, which shows that there is still much to understand about its application and how this methodology can improve quality teaching and learning of students in schools.

The present moment of humanity has been characterized by countless social, economic and political changes that are reflected in education. As a result of this process, it must be aligned with the new world order without, however, losing sight of the functions; reflective, cooperative, communicative and creative. In this sense, this work has as main objective to discuss the concept of creativity and its relevance in the development of the fundamental skills in the formation of teachers, seeking to transform them into critical subjects capable of quickly solving the problems faced in the current world. This way, the formation of education professionals must develop their creative capacity so that they become active subjects in the process of social transformation. This is a theoretical study that proposes to offer some suggestions for teaching in order to stimulate the creative process, especially at university. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Creativity is a construct involving cognitive, personality and social aspects. The aim of this study was to construct the Escala de Perfil Criativo (EPC - Creative Profile Scale) and verify its validity. The validity based on its content was analyzed through blind judges, with an agreement rate of 80%, eliminating three items. Evidence of validity for the internal structure of the EPC was investigated through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), which indicated seven factors. The scale was administered with 442 participants (78.3% females), with ages ranging from 18-75 years (M=38.17; SD=13.31). The reliability through the Cronbach's Alpha produced adequate values for each factor (α=.60 to .75). In conclusion, the validity evidence for the EPC suggests that it can be used to assess creativity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Guitarist Roland Dyens (1955-2016) has had a distinguished position in the classical guitar world. His performances, compositions and arrangements are recognized and admired all over the world, as well as his pedagogical activity. The same applies to guitarist Sérgio Assad (b.1952). The present paper aims to demonstrate the innovations and the complexities of the solutions present in their arrangements for solo guitar, particularly the work Verano Porteño by Piazzolla, originally composed for the Tango Nuevo quintet of the composer. We compared the arrangements between themselves and also with other arrangements of the same work. We also used interviews that we encountered and others that we conducted with the arrangers. The concepts of complexity of Edgar Morin and creativity of Csikszentmihalyi were used to frame the analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the present study was to search for evidence of validity based on external convergent-like variables for a subtest to assess figural creativity, part of a Battery for Assessment of High Abilities/Giftedness (BAAH/S). The sample consisted of 114 students of the 2nd year (n = 15) and 3rd year (n = 99) of high school, aged between 15 and 20 years (M = 17; SD = 0.85), 52 male, coming from a public school. Participants completed the Children's Figural Creativity Test (TCFI) and the Completing Figures Subtest (in validation process). Through the Pearson Correlation, factors that evaluate similar creative aspects showed positive and significant correlations (r = 0.64 between emotional factors; r = 0.60 between cognitive factors; r = 0.56 between enrichment factors ideas), indicating convergence between measures. The correlation between the isolated creative characteristics evaluated in both tests was mostly significant, with values ranging between r = 0.21 and r = 0.61. These results make it possible to confirm positive evidences of validity for the developing subtest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The author looks into Winnicott's concept of creativity, which was laid out in Playing and reality, placing it in a dialogue especially with the sexual theme and sublimation, present in Freud's metapsychology. He points out that, in spite of the engendering of a metapsychology and the usual conception that simplicity is not one of Winnicott's concerns a priori, something that a first reading of his works may suggest, Winnicott displays a sort of accuracy that is based on the so-called traditional psychoanalysis, although he seeks, from the clinical experience, to encompass psychic phenomena that are not described by it. He attempts to integrate the experience of hallucination in Freud, self-erotically experienced in and through the absence of the object, standing up for its production as a psychic phenomenon in the presence of the object as mirroring, where the perceptual notion meets the hallucinatory experience and confirms the created-found illusory conception. He argues that, for a proper development of this process, the object must "sacrifice" its own desires and states from its pure feminine and as a Malleable Means (M. Milner), and thus can help in the adequate inscription of these amorphous moments lived by the infans, a fertile experience of being alone in the presence of the object. Based on such process, one could understand the drive domain/domestication referred to by Freud as a form of appropriation. In a subsequent moment, with the discovery of the object as another-subject, it will be necessary that the latter allows itself to be used, being "destroyed" and surviving without retaliations, thus constituting a destroyed/lost/found process. Therefore, a play movement between infans and object must always be present, since the phase lived into the illusory process, embodying an automatic primary creativity, up to the phase led by drive motions, subjectivized in the contact with the another-subject object, thereby constituting a voluntary creativity.

Having established a distinction between the "feeling of being" and the "feeling of existing" that represent two possible versions D.W. Winnicott's sense of being, the author weaves some considerations about intersubjectivity and subjectivation, which are preceded by the sense of being. Then, the relations between the sense of being and creativity are addressed. Finally, the interest in developing, thus, a third topographical theory is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The conception of creativity may be influenced by laypeople's opinions and cultural contexts. This study aimed to replicate a study by Bass et al. (2015) with students from the Netherlands about the opinion of facilitating conditions of creativity among lay people, comparing them with Brazilian students. The Brazilian sample consisted of 296 undergraduate students (F = 83%), average age of 24,5 years (SD = 7.73) who did not have any creativity course. The study from the Netherlands consisted of 176 undergraduate students (F = 73.9%) with an average age of 20 years (SD = 5.0). The Brazilian participants answered a questionnaire designed to evaluate the same areas of the Dutch study on situations that favor creativity. The responses compared by t-Student and factor analysis showed differences between countries, with Brazilians giving greater importance to relaxing activities and traveling unlike the Dutch who preferred concentrated activities and being alone. The study concludes that there are cultural influences in the conceptions of creativity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research objective was to investigate the meanings that 5th grade students from a public school in Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, give to the textual production that enables polysemy, creativity and authorship. Conversation circles were held with the students to know their relationships with written textual production and with the school. Pêcheux's Discourse Analysis guided the data analysis through concepts such as subjectivity, discourse, ideology, discursive memory and authorship. The results point out that the discourses produced by the students about writing often rely on dominant social discourses; when they rely on their own subjectivities, they become closer to polysemy and creativity.

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.

Creative Economy is a recently formed concept that comprises the economic activities of production, distribution and consumption of goods and services formulated through the creativity and intellectual capital. It is greatly valued for its symbolic value and for its capacity to generate employment and income, maintaining an intrinsic bond with culture, society and new technologies. Current paper comprises the creative and market process of products and services formulated by professionals that function within the Creative Economy of the Metropolitan region of the Vale do Paraíba and Northern Littoral Region of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected by an in-depth interview with a half-structured scheme with open questions applied to a sample of 13 professionals that work in Creative Industry in the areas of consumption, culture, media and technology. Results reveal that creative economy in the Vale do Paraíba and Northern Littoral Region is a relevant activity and makes possible the subsistence of cultural manifestations and financial sustainability of local producers that keep their traditions, customs and values within the region.

This research addresses the concept of creativity from a management perspective and, as such, can be managed and developed by managers in business, new or traditional. Thus, the study aims to understand the management of creativity in the scenario of the managers of a startup graduated in the Armazém da Criatividade in Caruaru- PE. Concomitantly, the creative process is correlated as a precursor of innovation to inspire other managers. For the purposes of method, a qualitative research of explanatory character was carried out, collecting the data through oral history and discussed and analyzed through content analysis. The results found demonstrate the subjectivity of people's relationship with creativity, and the need for managers to reflect on the quality of professionals, the importance of generating knowledge about the market in which they operate and being integrated with business and knowledge networks in innovation environments.

This paper presents a theoretical proposition about open creativity, defined as the ability to generate and improve ideas through collaboration with external agents. Open creativity is understood as an independent phenomenon and antecedent to innovation. We use the coworking environments as a locus of analysis, where intense exchanges of ideas and social capital take place. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Human inventions and its consequent technological evolution carry innovative changes in the realms of artistic production. In this scenario, new forms of poetry, aligned with technology also begin to configure it. The present paper brings to focus, poetry created with a computational medium, with the attempt of exemplification and conception. During the development of this critic product, the semiotic triadic relationship will be addressed between poetry, art, sciences, and technology to promote digital poetry and other information-based forms of poetry. In this context, present research justifies itself with the Internet being a contemporary instrument that amplifies the quantity of possible combinations, aside from the accessibility and disclosure of work. This allows for a new relational dimension between the poet and the reader, both in the producing of the poem as well as in its reception and interaction between both subjects. This fact results in a new relational perspective between them, now composed of author-machine-programmer-reader, allowing for an alternative form of poetry that circulates in the electro-electronic-digital space. The main goal of this study is to clarify the possible conceptualization of digital poetry, its particularities, specificities, and nuances, its main elements of composition, and also its classifications according to the technological resources employed for its production. Other important aspects that were established include the dehumanization, decentralization of I, and the de-terrorization that is present in digital poetry carried by the dynamic nature of computer technology. Just as the probabilities of creativity, interaction and interference by any part of the three formative segments and the possibilities of hypertextuality, hyper use of media and interconnectivity promoted by poetic works, conveyed through the Internet. It is hoped that this manner, contributes with the conceptual theoretical opportunity that already exists, good and ample diversification that has been in development by authors and researchers, in which many were situated as the theoretical foundation in the body of the research.

The Sec.XXI has brought innumerable challenges to the young, as well as, to its respective parents or responsible entities. Since the new consumptions and the new additions, to the processes gaming and new technologies, new considerações on the sexual contents and the relations in itself, to the symptomatic processes that disclose severe patologias of deep, until the more distant relations each time and without time, space or place to exist. On the other hand, each time more the young has more information, however each time less develops defenses against its internal states that make possible them to face day-by-day and they will be developed of healthy form. Thus, this article intends to be first, theoretical, that it will lean over on the adolescent process and the respective organizadores, processes auto-mutilatórios and the creativity as bridge to the understanding of the respective processes. In as an article to publish, clinical cases will be presented having in account the considerações of the present article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between thinking and creating styles, well-being, perceived health, and stress in a sample of older adults. The sample was composed of 123 individuals (98 women and 25 men), aged from 60 to 90 years (M = 68.35, SD=7.4), who answered the Thinking and Creating Scales, Positive Mental Health Scale, Perceived Stress Scale and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Spearman's ? analyzes and a network of regularized partial correlations were used to investigate the relationships between the variables. We concluded that the styles that most positively related to the variables of health, well-being and stress are Nonconformist-transforming and Emotional-intuitive styles. The characteristics of such styles can be encouraged to act as positive factors for quality of life at maturity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a discussion on how changes in work processes and in evaluation of results generate changes in the role of creativity, creative professional and advertising agency. The discussion presents as an illustration the symbolic protest of the employees of the Chicago's Leo Burnett agency in which employees covered the name of their founder on the front of the agency building with a sheet of paper that read "Marcel." The protest took place after the ban on the participation of the agency in prizes and festivals of the sector, in favor of the investments destined to the implantation of the platform of artificial intelligence Marcel. The analysis of the Leo Burnett's advertisers attitude and the agency's work philosophy, published in the marketing guide HumanKind (2013), under the historical and critical bias, shows that there are contradictions in their protest, since the agencies already come passing by a process of automation endorsed by the advertisers themselves. This measure only consolidates a scenario that favors a culture of efficiency that, in line with the strategies of the technological capitalism production model, demands new dynamics for creative work, attending to the search for productivity rather than creativity.

The use of technology has been recommended with an additional feature in the area of psychological assessment. Within this proposal, the Computerized Scale of Creative Characteristics was developed. In order to verify the adequacy of their items, two studies were conducted. In the first one, five graduate students acted as judges, classifying the 64 items of the instrument into eight characteristics (Fluency, Flexibility, Elaboration, Originality, Expression of Emotion, Fantasy, Unusual Perspective, Analogies / Metaphors). The results demonstrated the adequacy of the items, with most of them presenting agreement indexes above 80%. Adequate Kappa values were also found for the judges. In the study 2, 50 students, aged between 18 and 50 years (M=32.7; SD=10.27) participated in a pilot study, helping to reformulate and adapt different aspects of the scale. The results pointed to the adequacy of the scale to the construct and to the population that it intends to evaluate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The philosophy of Gilles Deleuze develops the Nietzschean critique of language and its grammar in which the predicate depends on the subject. Instead, Deleuze proposes a thought based on the "infinitive" where the action is suspended in an eternal present "without thickness". Although this had already been outlined by Spinoza, the Deleuzian study goes further by studying ungrammaticality as a phenomenon of creative overflow. In works written together with the psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, Deleuze presents us with features of this ungrammaticality that approaching the phenomenon of schizophrenia, creates a clear beyond the language constrained by syntax. In other minor works Deleuze studies cases of literature and art in which the expression subverts the language itself and phenomena such as lapses, interruptions or babblings, are not psychoanalytic defects, but creative and desiring potentialities. The question that arises, before the new methodologies of natural language processing is to what extent they persevere this constrained vision of language. The NLP algorithms can give us a technical, computational and constrained sense of language, but their rules overflow the grammar and allow us to analyze and even generate language and meaning according to their social and collective pragmatics.

This research aimed to analyze, through interventions, creative pedagogical practices in the exercise of physical education in a public school in Goiânia-GO, identifying and sharing the lived experiences, contributing to the transformation of school education, professors, students, parents and team. The used methods had qualitative character and methodological support to the bibliographical, documentary and exploratory research. In the first chapter, a theoretical framework was built on the creative school and its pedagogical practices, transdisciplinarity at the service of school physical education and a brief summary of the history of education. In the second is explained about the used methodology and in the third is made an analysis of the obtained data. It is concluded that the pedagogical practices of the researched school are not creative, as they do not contemplate the principles of the creative school model, but that the dialogues and the experiences lived during the process were of great value to those who got involved or participated, directly or indirectly, of the construction of this project.

This article proposes to work with the theoretical concept of creativity management by promoting a reflection defined by encouraging work relationships that involve creative individuals and creative leadership in attitudes that foster a creative culture. This analysis considers creativity as a precursor of innovation and evaluates it as a universe capable of improving organizational competitiveness, since, creativity is understood as a social phenomenon. The discussion in this article addresses conditions and characteristics related to the individual, to leadership and culture. Creativity management is a component of a managerial grid focused on interfering in the internal and external contexts of an organization by reviewing deviant and divergent practices regarding the stimulation of creative processes. The development of creativity over time is illustrated by a concept called the spiral of creativity. In conclusion, analyzing creativity as something that is collectively produced and has manageable elements increases the ability to make decisions that foster creativity and allow it to be managed collectively.

Based on Marc Augé's concept of places and non-places, and borrowing from Geography and Anthropology, we shall discuss the use of virtual space as a possibility of different forms of subjectivity. The importance that physical and virtual territories have acquired in the way we are made, the uses we make of both and how we navigate these spaces will be analyzed in the light of Pierre Lévy's and Donald Winnicott's contributions. Taking Winnicott as an interlocutor in the psychoanalytic field, in his postulations about the perspective and the location of cultural experiences, we will investigate the place of virtual experience as the possibility of a new territory of existence. To Pierre Lévy, virtuality is closely linked to creativity; Winnicott, on the other hand, tells us that, in order to look at the world in a creative way, an individual must, above all, have internalized the experience of being looked at. It is therefore the case of discussing the many opportunities that the virtual world can offer as an experience of looking or of not being seen. That is, reading the internet as a place or a non-place will depend on the uses which an individual makes of its resources, and on the relationship established with them and with him or herself.

There is a current need for psychological tests that can assess cognitive functioning through an integrative perspective. The purpose of this study was to collect validity evidence of the adult version of the Battery of Intelligence and Creativity. The sample was composed of 99 students (51 female), with ages ranging between 15 and 17. The battery is composed of five cognitive tests and one creative test. The following tests were used as external criteria: The Reasoning Tests Battery 5; Divided and Alternating Attention Tests and Torrance Tests. The results indicated significant correlations (p..05) between the battery subtests with the intelligence criteria tests (.28 to .52) as well as creativity tests (.26 to .54). This battery was found to be a valid measure to evaluate intelligence and creativity. Il existe un besoin d'outils psychologiques qui evaluent le fonctionnement cognitif de maniere integree.

Il a ete conclu que BAICA est une mesure valable pour evaluer l'intelligence et la creativite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigated how advertisers from the creation area of large advertising agencies perceive and characterize their creative process. Thirteen Brazilian professionals were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed by content analysis. Results indicate that several stages of the creative process overlap, such as the incubation period of one job functioning as the preparation for the next. Motivating factors include pleasure of the act of creating, media visibility and its social reach. Limiting factors include the agencies' excessive departmentalization, reduced deadlines, and the clients' subjectivity influencing the advertisement approval. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigated, in a sample of 66 elementary school pedagogical coordinators, factors that hamper teachers to stimulate the development of student creativity and strategies to be used by the coordinator to support teachers in promoting creativity in the classroom. Participants completed a questionnaire consisting of a checklist of obstacles to creativity in the classroom and four open questions. The most indicated inhibitory factors included the lack of knowledge by the teachers of pedagogical practices that favor the development of students' creativity and of texts in this respect, as well as insecurity to test new pedagogical practices. Providing courses, guidance, support and incentive for teachers were the procedures most frequently pointed out by coordinators to assist the teacher in encouraging creativity in the classroom.

In almost all of his production, the noted economist and former minister of Culture, Celso Furtado, praised the creativity of the nation as a strategic asset for the emergence of a new sustainable, inclusive and endogenous economic development model. The analytical trajectory of this work turned to literature review to highlight the theoretical contributions of Celso Furtado about the potential arising of a new economy that is intensive in creativity. In turn, the clipping of Celso Furtado's thought is a powerful and current tool to (re)consider the overcoming strategies of the country's underdevelopment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
