Creation at Work

Abstract

Operative creativity is, therefore, not the production of an object, useful or otherwise, but the operation of a force of and in thought, which eliminates the possibility of both the object and the subject as unified wholes. This way of describing creativity is based on Deleuze’s understanding and use of creativity, which are both radically different from those analysed above. Three main features characterize this approach, all of which both reflect and inform Deleuze’s wider philosophical position.
