This chapter puts forward an embodied and enactive perspective on creativity and applies it to sporting practices. We propose to understand creativity as a skilled way of responding to the affordances of the material and socio-cultural environment—a creative responsiveness. We challenge the ideas about creativity being about inner states, such as generative modes of thinking, and focus on asking: what kinds of contextual conditions are conducive to being creative, and how can we design our environments to invite creativity? Subsequently, we argue for the relevance of our concept in selected sporting practices, focusing, i.e. on creativity in rock climbing.

摘要

This chapter puts forward an embodied and enactive perspective on creativity and applies it to sporting practices. We propose to understand creativity as a skilled way of responding to the affordances of the material and socio-cultural environment—a creative responsiveness. We challenge the ideas about creativity being about inner states, such as generative modes of thinking, and focus on asking: what kinds of contextual conditions are conducive to being creative, and how can we design our environments to invite creativity? Subsequently, we argue for the relevance of our concept in selected sporting practices, focusing, i.e. on creativity in rock climbing.
