The Creation

The importance of the creative process at Cirque du Soleil informed the establishment of its Documentation Centre nine years ago. The desire for conservation, a concern of the founding president as early as 1984, was initially related to the need to use earlier documents and materials in the creation of shows, rather than a desire to preserve history. Subsequently, the role of the archives has evolved and today Cirque du Soleil values the importance of memory and has put various tools in place to facilitate the collection and conservation of its history.

Relational Representation

The “author” is a concept central to many publication and documentation practices, often carrying legal, professional, social, and personal importance. Typically viewed as the solitary owner of their creations, a person is held responsible for their work and positioned to receive the praise and criticism that may emerge in its wake. Although the role of the individual within creative production is undeniable, literary (Foucault 1977; Bloom 1997) and knowledge organization (Moulaison et. al. 2014) theorists have challenged the view that the work of one person can-or should-be fully detached from their professional and personal networks. As these relationships often provide important context and reveal the role of community in the creation of new things, their absence from catalog records presents a falsely simplified view of the creative process. Here, we address the consequences of what we call the “author-as-owner” concept and suggest that an “author-as-node” approach, which situates an author within their networks of influence, may allow for more relational representation within knowledge organization systems, a framing that emphasizes rather than erases the messy complexities that affect the production of new objects and ideas.

The Creation

The creative process in Hollywood’s movie industry is the result of a complex combination of symbolic elements arising from imaginations of screenwriters, directors, executives, marketing experts and producers. This article analyzes the anatomy of the creative process inserted in the logic of production of major studios. The earliest scripts of three movies—Back to the Future, Blade Runner and Star Wars: A New Hope—and their theatrical movie versions are compared to find some patterns in the formation of the imaginary during the creative process in mainstream productions. The theoretical approach is mainly based on Gilbert Durand’s theories about the imaginary.

The Creation

The problem of military building during the Ukrainian national revolution of 1917-1918 hasbeen investigated in the article. The attitude of Ukrainian political parties of the Central Council period towards the elemental Ukrainization process of imperial Russian army military bases has been exposed. Different vision of place and role of the Ukrainian army in a state-creative process stipulated the creation of two diametrically opposite conceptions of Ukrainian armed forces formation. An attempt to implement these conceptions into life resulted in political opposition between the Ukrainian national parties that weakened the Ukrainian national movement. The opposition between the parties made the creation of a battle-worthy Ukrainian army impossible because the army had to protect the sovereignty of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. The absence of own army deprived Ukrainians the opportunity to defend independence and self-reliance of the state from encroachments of external enemies.

Imagine That: A Barfieldian Reading of C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces

Cupid And Psyche

On more than one occasion, Owen Barfield expressed his admiration for C.S. Lewis's last novel, Till We Have Faces, singling it out as a work in which Lewis “really rises to the fullness of the mythopoeic imagination.” Barfield's praise of the novel's mythopoeia is understandable given his statements in Poetic Diction and The Rediscovery of Meaning concerning the literary artist and the creation of true myth. Lewis's own account of his creative process (the changes he felt impelled to make to the myth of Cupid and Psyche) further validates the novel's mythopoeic nature and identifies Lewis as a Barfieldian mythmaker. In addition, the novel appears to incorporate two of Barfield's fundamental theories: the purposive evolution of human consciousness and the epistemic validity of the imagination. As is well known, Lewis found himself unable to accept either theory. I would argue, however, that ‘mythopoeic Lewis' inclined toward ideas that ‘rational Lewis’ disavowed. Reading the novel with Barfield in mind suggests that it is both a fully realized instance of Lewis's mythopoeic imagination and a work that dramatizes the necessary role of imagination in humanity's ongoing spiritual development.

AbstractBetween 1976 and 1986 the Dutch group Hoketus were central to the creation of the sound and aesthetic of the Hague school. Through their rehearsal process they challenged and redefined the role of the composers who wrote for them in relation to the ensemble, and in doing so they challenged conventional notions of composer privilege and power. While not going as far as free improvisation groups in erasing the boundaries between composers and performers, they created a situation in which traditional hierarchies were overturned. Without ever claiming co-ownership of the resulting works, the group actively participated in the creative process and so could claim a higher degree of ownership and responsibility for the music they played than is usually the case.

This book follows the life trajectory of a single work of fiction from its initial inspiration to its reception by reviewers and readers. The subject is Jarrettsville, a historical novel by Cornelia Nixon, which was published in 2009 and based on an actual murder committed by an ancestor of Nixon's in the postbellum South. The book takes you behind the scenes to examine how Jarrettsville was shepherded across three interdependent fields—authoring, publishing, and reading—and how it was transformed by its journey. Along the way, it covers all aspects of the life of a book, including the author's creative process, the role of literary agents, how editors decide which books to acquire, how publishers build lists and distinguish themselves from other publishers, how they sell a book to stores and publicize it, and how authors choose their next projects. The author looks at how books get selected for the front tables in bookstores, why reviewers and readers can draw such different meanings from the same novel, and how book groups across the country make sense of a novel and what it means to them. This book reveals how decisions are made, inequalities are reproduced, and novels are built to travel in the creation, production, and consumption of culture.

In article the examples of word creation recorded in the daily speech are analyzed, structural, semantic and communicative-cognitive features of speech innovations are described. Process of creating of lexical neoplasms is regarded as a linguistic and creative process aimed at the creation of the necessary in this speech situation of the word. New words are distinguished by a variety of word-formation models. The paper notes the most productive derivational affixes and methods of word formation. Results of the linguistic experiment made it possible to draw certain conclusions about the features of the formation of new words and the role of words-stimuli in the process of word production.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

This article proposes a model of individual violent radicalisation leading to acts of terrorism. After reviewing the role of group regression and the creation of group psychic apparatus, the article will examine how violent radicalisation, by the reversal of the importance of the superego and the ideal ego, serves to compensate the narcissistic identity suffering by “lone wolf” terrorists.
