Un Examen Critique de la Notion Contemporaine de Créativité

Lingard

Creativity, essential in various modern fields such as science and business, has overtaken traditional artistic domains, complicating its measurement and development. Often associated with economic innovation, there is a risk of viewing creativity primarily as a tool for commercial success, obscuring its broader personal and societal value. Educational systems aim to encourage creativity but face challenges in avoiding reducing it to mere academic indicators, which could stifle true creative development. Digital technology, while democratizing creative expression, also creates challenges in terms of content saturation and recognition of authentic innovation. Moreover, the commercialization of creativity can push creators to prioritize production over originality, risking homogenization. Moreover, the constant demand for creativity can lead to ‘creative burnout’, highlighting the need for balance and recovery periods to maintain long-term creative energy.
