 Disquisitions on Poietics and Further Explorations into the Art of Creation 		 

Browsing Options:

Almost all the material in this eBook has already been made available to interested readers in one form or another, though mainly in the form of academic articles in learned journals. That is to say, only a limited number of researchers working particularly in the general field of aesthetics, or more pointedly in the realm of poietics, may have acquainted themselves with these publications. Here, the published articles and expositions have been brought together under one cover, together with unpublished material, in order to define and explicate an area of research and study for the benefit of English readers.

The subject of “poietics” (la poïétique in French), with its origins in the Greek word poïein, in the sense of: “to make with the intellect”, deals with the science and/or the art of creation. To French academics working in this field of research principally during the last thirty years, the subject has variously meant one thing as a definition and another as a programme of research: from Valery’s probes into the making of a poem to Passeron’s involvement with the processes of creation while the creator is in the very act of making his objet d’art.

In this eBook, the author attempts to lay the foundation either for the formulation of a theory (or, contrariwise, for the impossibility at arriving at any such formulaic circumscription) on poietics. His “Disquisitions on Poietics” serves as a theoretical inquiry into the subject at large without, however, limiting itself to the fine arts. The author adopts an open-ended approach to the concept of creation. To him, the preparation of an elaborate dish in the kitchen is as worthy of attention as the Big Bang itself. As for tools, he does not exclude the methodology of experimentation in the laboratory or the theoretical calculations and observations of the exact sciences as perfectly valid means by which to unravel the mysteries of creation.

The author “created” and edited the first academic bi-lingual journal on the subject: The Journal of Comparative Poietics/Revue de Poïétique Comparée in 1989.
