Abstract

This article is an edited version of a Keynote Address provided for the 2021 Creativity Conference hosted by Southern Oregon University. The talk opens with the following question: “What role does our experience with uncertainty play in our creative thoughts and actions?” The remainder of the talk is focused on addressing this question, starting with the assertion that there is no creativity without uncertainty and several other operating assumptions aimed at establishing a basis for this assertion. Next, a model of creativity under uncertainty is introduced. The model outlines how encounters with uncertainty in a particular socio-cultural and historical moment can be experienced as epistemologically and ontologically destabilizing, and thereby, result in a state of genuine doubt. This state of doubt, when perceived as actionable, can open-up a horizon of new possibilities for creative activity. The model further outlines how taking creative action in the face of uncertainty can (temporarily) resolve our state of doubt and re-stabilize our experiences. Implications for inviting uncertainty into educational learning environments are also discussed.

没有不确定性就没有创造力:Dubito Ergo Creo
本文为南俄勒冈大学主办的2021创意大会主题演讲编辑版。演讲以以下问题开始:“我们对不确定性的经验在我们的创造性思想和行动中扮演什么角色?”接下来的演讲将聚焦于解决这个问题,从“没有不确定性就没有创造力”这一断言开始,以及其他几个旨在为这一断言建立基础的操作假设。其次,介绍了不确定条件下的创造力模型。该模型概述了在特定的社会文化和历史时刻遇到不确定性如何在认识论和本体论上不稳定,从而导致真正的怀疑状态。这种怀疑的状态,如果被认为是可行的,可以为创造性活动开辟新的可能性。该模型进一步概述了如何在面对不确定性时采取创造性行动(暂时)解决我们的怀疑状态并重新稳定我们的经历。本文还讨论了将不确定性引入教育学习环境的影响。
