Un Examen Crítico de la Noción Contemporánea de Creatividad

Lingard

Creativity, essential in diverse modern fields such as science and business, has expanded beyond traditional artistic domains, complicating its measurement and development. Often linked with economic innovation, there is a risk of viewing creativity primarily as a tool for commercial success, overshadowing its broader personal and societal value. Educational systems aim to foster creativity but face challenges in avoiding its reduction to simple academic metrics, which could stifle true creative development. Digital technology, while democratising creative expression, also creates challenges regarding content saturation and recognition of genuine innovation. Furthermore, the commercialisation of creativity can put pressure on creators to prioritise production over originality, risking homogenisation. Furthermore, the constant demand for creativity can lead to ‘creative burnout’, highlighting the need for balance and recovery periods to sustain creative energy in the long term.
