Se la letteratura costituisce un rifiuto coraggioso e irrinunciabile delle facili banalizzazioni e delle semplificazioni di comodo, se la letteratura contraddice la pigrizia dei luoghi comuni, se la letteratura è svelamento e apocalisse, allora l’incoerenza, cioè la contraddizione della linearità e della progressione infinita, confortante ma irreale, assume la sua giusta dimensione: quella di un nucleo di energia artistica inesauribile, incontenibile, insopprimibile, caotica almeno quanto caotica è la vita, ma autentica e affidabile. Se le pagine dei romanzi riproducono in narrazione e scrittura il disordine, l’incoerenza che ci circonda, potremmo aprire con più fiducia gli occhi sul buio e, in questo modo, conoscere più a fondo le nostre vite, esprimendo, forse, un giudizio meno severo sulle nostre piccole storie confuse. E l’incoerenza così diventerebbe qualcosa che ancora non vogliamo ammettere: una risorsa del romanzo, forse quella estrema, e un nostro talismano contro la sorte.

This book provides an overview of the approaches of leading scholars to understanding the nature of creativity, its measurement, its investigation, its development, and its importance to society. The authors are the twenty-four psychological scientists who are most frequently cited in the four major textbooks on creativity, and they can thus be considered among the most eminent living scholars in the field. Authors discuss how they define creativity, the kinds of questions they have addressed, theories they have proposed, and a description of their research and the most interesting empirical results it has produced. The chapters represent a wide range of substantive and methodological emphases, including psychometric, cognitive, expertise-based, developmental, neuropsychological, cultural, systems, and group-difference approaches. The Nature of Human Creativity brings together an incredible diversity of viewpoints, helping students and researchers to see the points of consensus as well as the differences in contemporary perspectives.

Insight and intuition might be the most mysterious and fascinating fields of human thinking and problem solving. They are different from standard and analytical problem solving accounts and provide the basis for creative and innovative thinking. Until now they were investigated in separate academic fields with differing tradition. Therefore, this eBook attempts to bridge the gap between both processes and to provide a more integrated perspective. Several experts address the underlying cognitive processes and provide a broad spectrum of new empirical, theoretical, and methodological insights.

In light of growing discourse on 'frugal innovation', this book offers novel approaches to innovation based on extensive empirical research. The study complements a decade of scholarly attention on frugal innovation by taking a research-based approach to innovation in resource-scarce and complex institutional contexts. The findings suggest that concepts such as frugal, reverse, jugaad, social, grassroots and inclusive innovation in fact represent heterogeneous assemblies of innovation for social, environmental and economic value. The conceptual framework invites attention to more plural sources and elements in the study of models of innovation to inspire further research in the fields of strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, economic sociology and development studies. The design framework offers models, metrics and competencies for practitioners and policymakers to identify, evaluate and design frugal innovations. The comprehensive view of frugal innovation demonstrates how firms can implement globally competitive strategies by pursuing innovation for humanity to improve lives for everyone, everywhere.
