Creativity and Innovation in a world of Movement (CIM) research project here
Creativity and Innovation in a World of Movement’
(CIM) explored the dynamics of cultural production
and creativity in an era of intensifying globalisation
and transnational connectivity, conducted by a team
of scholars in the United Kingdom, Norway, the
Netherlands and Austria. Instead of assessing the
relative novelty of end products, the project took
a processual approach by analysing practices of
appropriation, consumption and (re)contextualisation
in the spheres of (popular) art, religion and museums.
Acknowledging the significance of individual or groupspecific
understandings of ‘creativity’, CIM explored
critically how different notions of cultural value
and processes of authentication, authorisation and
commoditisation have affected people’s engagements
with objects and images. A broad perspective was
obtained by investigating concrete, partially interlinked
processes across five continents, following successful
ethnographic fieldwork in India, Sri Lanka, Ghana,
Argentina, Brazil, Barbados, Trinidad, Suriname, Guyana,
Canada, Australia, Norway, France, Austria and the UK. (Leon Wainwright page 4)
