This book provides an extensive and original analysis of the way
that written and spoken communication facilitates creative
practice in the university art and design studio. Challenging the
established view of creativity as a personal attribute which can
be objectively measured, the author demonstrates instead that
creativity and creative practice are constructed through a
complex array of intersecting discourses, each shaped by wider
socio-historical contexts, beliefs and values. The author draws
upon a range of methods and resources to capture this dynamic
complexity from corpus linguistics to ethnography and multimodal
analysis. This innovative volume will appeal to students and
scholars of discourse analysis, creativity, and applied
linguistics. It will also appeal to art and design educators.
