Overview
Is creativity a consciously directed, culturally enriching pursuit? Or is it a chaotic outpouring of dangerous and darkly unconscious material? In Creativity Kevin Brophy explores the mysteries of the creative writing process. He teases out the links between creativity, the psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Lacan and the work of the foremost Surrealists. Creativity examines how psychoanalytic theory has shaped creative writing courses and the work of emerging writers. With the dramatic growth of creative writing courses in tertiary institutions, such issues are becoming of increasing importance. Creative writers, students and teachers of creative writing, and anyone interested in the place of psychoanalytic theory in contemporary thinking will find Creativity engrossing reading.Book Details
