From dualisms to dualities: On researching creative processes in the arts and sciences

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: The papers accepted for publication in this themed issue reflect to a large extent the long-needed move toward recognizing the importance of a focus on tensions and contradictions as dualities. In this commentary, I will recap the tensions addressed not only in these papers but also in the commentary by Grabher and inquire into how they address them, for instance by unearthing the concepts these authors mobilize to theorize them. I will conclude that, from an organization theory perspective, economic geography seems to be on a good way to a more balanced and conflict-sensitive, even dialectical process understanding of creativity and organization that could well be pushed a little further in this direction.
