Abstract

This chapter of Communicating Creativity: The Discursive Facilitation of Creative Activity in Art shows that the primary means by which the participants make sense of their creative actions as ordered and intelligible is through the notion of idea transference, that is, the metaphorical transference of an ‘idea’ from the brief, to the students’ minds, and then to the work of art. The chapter examines how the discourse of the idea has its origins in the conceptual art of the 1960s.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Following the conventions of cognitive linguistics, small caps without italics, are used here to denote reference to a structural metaphor. Structural metaphors, unlike the systematic metaphors discussion in Chap. 6, do not necessarily occur directly in the language, but instead describe the conceptual framework of language.

  2. 2.

    Swales (1990) identifies the communicative purpose or rationale of a genre as the ‘principal criterial feature that turns a collection of communicative events into a genre’ (p. 46).

  3. 3.

    Habitus (Bourdieu 1993) can be glossed as the unique dispositions of an individual developed over time through a combination of the social conditions of their upbringing, as well as their education. The effects of the individual habitus are the reactions or responses, actions or activities, ways of behaving or thinking of an individual in a specific context that occur as a result of their unique dispositions.
