Handbook of Culture and Creativity

The <em>Handbook of Culture and Creativity</em> is a collaborative effort to provide readers with an in-depth and systematic inquiry into the cultural processes of creativity and innovation as well as the creative processes of cultural transformation. <p/>As the editors acknowledge creativity emerges from dialogical interaction with cultural imperatives norms and artifacts but culture also evolves and transforms through a generative process fueled by creativity. In order to illuminate nuanced insights on the complex culture-creativity nexus this volume is organized into four broad sections: reciprocal relationships socio-cultural contexts diversifying experiences and creativity and policy and applied perspectives. <p/>Edited by Angela K.-Y. Leung Letty Kwan and Shyhnan Liou this cogent volume features cutting-edge evidence and research and lays the groundwork for pursuing a new science for integrating the study of culture and creativity.<br>
