Comments on: Creativity, Organizations, and Identity http://kipthinks.com/2008/12/creativity-organizations-and-identity/ a place of reflection and inquiry during my doctoral studies Sat, 08 Jan 2011 16:55:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kip http://kipthinks.com/2008/12/creativity-organizations-and-identity/comment-page-1/#comment-227 Kip Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:25:32 +0000 http://kipthinks.com/?p=214#comment-227 I just saw "Slumdog Millionaire" over the weekend. Interesting way of telling a story and making connections. Also read some of the other chapters of _Art as Experience_ (besides the "Having an Experience" chapter). In two chapters related to form, he makes some interesting points about connections. At one point, he explicitly uses the word "design" and talks about the double meaning of it. Design captures purpose as well as arrangement/organization of the parts. Hence, it's about connections that are made with a purpose in mind. Thought I'd add that tidbit to Jamin's point ... purpose.

This reminds me of what Richard Buchanan said to us in our first seminar class: "our masters is a mastery in making connections." With increased diversity of experience, knowledge, and perspective, more and different connections can be made. “Diversity within an individual enhances creativity.”

I always thought it interesting that I always switch back and forth depending on my convenience. For example, when it's more convenient to be more "Korean" than "American" I would do that, and vice versa. Do you know where I can find the "code switching" article?

"code switching" i think is the term. very interesting. it seems that possibly one pre-requisite in addition to having multiple social identities, would be the integration of those identities, which seems to be a glossed over fact in this snippet. i red an article a while back about black inner-city males being the most at risk for schizophrenia because they had two exist as several people. one person at their part time job, one person at home, and one person at school. “code switching” i think is the term.
