Abstract

This chapter of Communicating Creativity: The Discursive Facilitation of Creative Activity in Arts shows how the focal themes of work, agency, motivation, exploration, ideas, and identity that frame the discussions in Chaps. 3–8 of this multi-perspectival study represent a network of historically formed, intersecting discourses, which facilitate creative practice and constitute the nature of creativity in the educational context. Such a collection or configuration of discourses, constitutive of a particular social practice (such as creative activity in the university context), can be described as an order of discourse, a term adapted from Foucault (‘The order of discourse’. In R. J. C. Young (Ed.), Untying the text: A post-structuralist reader. London, England: Routledge, 1971). The chapter looks at the implications of the study and its findings for creativity research. It concludes by reflecting on the multi-perspectival methodology underpinning the study.
