Abstract

"Kreativität" ist ein sehr junger Begriff und ein sehr altes Phänomen. Sie gilt als unaufklärbares Rätsel, als eine Art "Black Box" des Denkens. Dem kollektiven Bewußtsein zufolge ist sie etwas Rares, Flüchtiges, strapaziös zu erzielen und nur wenige Glückliche begünstigend. Das vorliegende Buch präsentiert eine logische Grundidee zur Entstehung von schöpferisch Neuem - Elemente aus der Informations-, Kommunikations- und Medientheorie verbindend. Diese "Formel" wird an philosophischen Stationen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart erprobt und weiterentwickelt. Kreativität zeigt sich als ein Transformationsphänomen, welches das Denken auf eine andere logische Ebene führt und kategoriale Grenzen kollabieren läßt. Im Ergebnis ist sie nichts per Definition Abwesendes, erreichbar nur über den Umweg von unverfügbarer Gunst, weltabgewandter Passion oder verborgenen Tricks. Kreativität ist vielmehr omnipräsent, schöpferische Energien sind nur mit großem Aufwand zu unterdrücken, und die Frage, wie man sie erreicht, wird zur Frage, wie man ihr eine optimale Basis bereitet, ohne sie wesentlich zu behindern.

Abstract

Creativity is getting new attention in today's America--along the way revealing fault lines in U.S. culture. Surveys show people overwhelmingly seeing creativity as both a desirable trait and a work enhancement, yet most say they just aren't creative. Like beauty and wealth, creativity seems universally desired but insufficiently possessed. Businesses likewise see innovation as essential to productivity and growth, but can't bring themselves to risk new ideas. Even as one's "inner artist" is hyped by a booming self-help industry, creative education dwindles in U.S. schools. Anxious Creativity: When Imagination Fails examines this conceptual mess, while focusing on how America's current edginess dampens creativity in everyone. Written in an engaging and accessible style, Anxious Creativity draws on current ideas in the social sciences, economics, and the arts. Discussion centers on the knotty problem of reconciling the expressive potential in all people with the nation's tendency to reward only a few. Fortunately, there is some good news, as scientists, economists, and creative professionals have begun advocating new ways of sharing and collaboration. Building on these prospects, the book argues that America's innovation crisis demands a rethinking of individualism, competition, and the ways creativity is rewarded.

Abstract

"Major statements by the celebrated Russian poet Boris Pasternak (1890-1960)about poetry, inspiration, the creative process, and the significance of artistic/literary creativity in his own life as well as in human life altogether are presented here in direct translation of his own words, and are discussed in the extensive commentaries and introduction. The texts range from 1910 to 1946 and are between two and ninety pages long. There are commentaries on all the texts, as well as a final essay on Pasternak's famous novel, Doctor Zhivago, which is looked at here in the light of what it says on art and inspiration. Although universally acknowledged as one of the great writers of the twentieth century, Pasternak is not yet sufficiently ecognized as the highly original and important thinker that he also was. All his life he thought and wrote about the nature and significance of the experience of inspiration, though he avoided the word "inspiration" where possible, as his own views were not.

Abstract

A new breed of modern designers is on the way. These non-traditional industrial designers work across disciplines, understand human beings, as well as business and technology thus bridging the gap between customer needs and technological advancement of tomorrow. This book uncovers prospective designer techniques and methods of a new age of industrial design, whose practitioners strive to construct simple and yet complex products of the future. The novel frontiers of a new era of industrial design are exposed, in what concerns the design process, in illustrating the use of new technologies in design and in terms of the advancement of culturally inspired design. The diverse perspectives taken by the authors of this book ensure stimulating reading and will assist readers in leaping forward in their own practice of industrial design, and in preparing new research that is relevant and aligned with the current challenges of this fascinating field.

Abstract

Durante o VII Encontro de Geografia Física e Ambiente, subordinado ao tema grandes incêndios florestais e erosão e degradação dos solos, que decorreu em Guimarães, nos dias 10 e 11 de outubro de 2013, no debate com que finalizou uma das sessões, abordou-se a questão da terminologia, tendo-se gerado alguma discussão em torno do conceito de perigosidade, discussão que se prolongou pelo intervalo que se seguiu à sessão, tendo-se concluído do interesse em organizar um debate com vista a refletir sobre alguns dos pontos de discussão. Ora, a organização de um "Diálogo ente Ciência e Utilizadores" foi a resposta encontrada para esse desafio assumido no Encontro de Guimarães e que se traduziu numa reunião técnicocientífica levada a efeito no dia 16 de maio de 2014, na Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Coimbra, para a qual foram convidados representantes das Universidades de Lisboa (Nova, Clássica e Instituto Superior Técnico), do Porto, do Minho e, naturalmente, de Coimbra, bem como das três entidades que constituem os pilares institucionais de defesa da floresta contra incêndios, a Autoridade Nacional de Proteção Civil (ANPC), o Instituto de Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas (ICNF) e a Guarda Nacional Republicana (GNR), que esteve representada pelo Serviço de Proteção da Natureza (SEPNA) e pelo Grupo de Intervenção, Proteção e Socorro (GIPS) da Unidade de Intervenção (UI). Nesta reunião técnico-científica participaram também representantes do Serviço Regional de Proteção Civil da Madeira, de Autarquias Locais, Corpos de Bombeiros (sapadores, municipais e voluntários), bem como profissionais e estudantes de Geografia.

Abstract

Natural hazard events and technological accidents are separate causes of environmental impacts. Natural hazards are physical phenomena active in geological times, whereas technological hazards result from actions or facilities created by humans. In our time, combined natural and man-made hazards have been induced. Overpopulation and urban development in areas prone to natural hazards increase the impact of natural disasters worldwide. Additionally, urban areas are frequently characterized by intense industrial activity and rapid, poorly planned growth that threatens the environment and degrades the quality of life. Therefore, proper urban planning is crucial to minimize fatalities and reduce the environmental and economic impacts that accompany both natural and technological hazardous events.

Abstract

Os nove artigos reunidos nesta obra apresentam, com abordagens plurais, uma visão multidisplicinar sobre arte, ciência e processos criativos. A coletânea engloba diversos trabalhos ligados ao âmbito das manifestações artísticas, da arquitetura e do design contemporâneos, além dos processos criativos inerentes ao ensino dessas linguagens. A diversidade de enfoques aqui verificada demonstra que, independentemente da área em se procede a transformação do conhecimento, há correlações possíveis de pensamentos e achados teóricos, refletindo o sistema de relação com o mundo e sua criação, em todas as direções.
