Abstract
The notion of collective creativity has always been primarily attached to artistic
collectives and their practices. Even though collective creativity (in the
sense of the actual production of a concrete artwork) has been subjected to
intense questioning or even dismissal in favour of persistent focus on individual
genius, it managed to preserve its legitimate place, especially in relation to
the research of collective artistic practices. Scientific research has, of course,
also often been collective, although it is sometimes reduced to collaborations
in which each scientist is in charge of a specific research segment which she
or he undertakes individually. We are, however, interested here in the type of
collective creativity or inter-cerebral collaboration (G. Tarde) in the arts and
science, which jointly produces new knowledge. This new knowledge cannot be
attributed specifically to any particular individual, even though it brings each
of them individually new knowledge in return. Specifically, through a quadrilogue
focused on the theme of collective creativity in academic research, we
will describe and think through our research and writing experiences using this
method–in relation to both the production and reception of our work.
