Creative Explorations: New Approaches to Identities and Audiences
How do you picture identity? What happens when you ask individuals to make
visual representations of their own identities, influences, and relationships?
Drawing upon an array of disciplines from neuroscience to philosophy,
and art to social theory, David Gauntlett explores the ways in which
researchers can embrace people’s everyday creativity in order to understand
social experience.
Seeking an alternative to traditional interviews and focus groups, he
outlines studies in which people have been asked to make visual things – such
as video, collage, and drawing – and then interpret them. This leads to an
innovative project in which Gauntlett asked people to build metaphorical
models of their identities in Lego. This creative reflective method provides
insights into how individuals present themselves, understand their own life
story and connect with the social world.
Creative Explorations is a lively, readable and original discussion of
identities, media influences and creativity, which will be of interest to both
students and academics.
