FOREWORD (cid:72)
(cid:75)
Stuart Hall
(cid:70)
(cid:81)
(cid:68)
This collection of essays follows
through the line of inquiry
(cid:48)
opened up by the two previous
volumes in The Cultures and
(cid:3)
Globalization Series. The aim of
the series is to track the(cid:73) complex
inter-relations between global-
ization and culture (cid:82)in its many
forms in the contemporary world.
(cid:3)
Volume 3 identifies a particular
site of such interactions defined
(cid:92)
by the inter-relationships between
three aspects of the wider ques-
(cid:87)
tion: creativity and innovation,
cultural e(cid:76)xpressions and global-
ization. The essays and papers
collec(cid:86)ted here offer, from a vari-
ety of perspectives, a rich explo-
rati(cid:85)on of this field. They present
a diverse set of examples
(cid:72)
and deepen our understanding
and conceptualization of the
(cid:89)
complexities involved in these
(cid:76) relationships.
The three terms are fully
(cid:81) defined in the wide-ranging
introductory essay which frames
(cid:56) the volume. Here, we try to set
the stage for that investigation
(cid:3)
by looking briefly at the way the concepts have undergone significant changes of
meaning in recent years and how these shifts affect their field of operations in the con-
temporary period. Creativity refers to the capacity, through imagination or invention, to
produce something new and original (hence its close relationship to innovation).
Innovation underscores the role which the idea of novelty has come to play in modern
creative practices and the high value accorded to originality, Modernism’s injunction to
‘make it new’, the significance placed on breaking traditions and the construction of
radically new forms. Cultural expressions refer to the many forms in which the values,
experiences, ideas, identities, beliefs, hopes, achievements and aspirations of a peo-
ple or social group find expression and take significant – and signifying – form.
Globalization marks the emerging inter-relationships and inter-dependences –
economic, political, cultural – between different societies and parts of the world. Its
contemporary form defines the new terrain on which cultural practices interact and the
‘global’ character which creativity, innovation and cultural expressions assume in their
contemporary form.
In western culture, much reinforced by Romanticism, creativity has been associated
with the gifted individual, touched by genius, who is uniquely capable of bringing aes-
thetic expression to a high pitch of excellence. This excludes many of those civiliza-
tions in which the association of creativity with the individual is not so strong (which,
