A Dialogical Approach to Creativity

Abstract

This book was conceived from conversations, work meetings and mutual interests of the authors about the themes of dialogism and creativity. At the last meeting of ANPEPP—National Association for Research and Graduate Studies in Psychology (as per its Portuguese acronym), in Brazil, held in 2019, working in our Dialogical Psychology Group, we started to talk about the possibility of organizing a publication that addressed the dialogical dimension of creative processes, themes that we have been investigating for some years in our research groups and universities. Over time, the idea took shape, resulting in the book we present today, which translates moments of reflection, theoretical propositions, conceptual articulations of the authors, mostly Brazilian, about a psychology of dialogical creativity. Each author, from their lines of research, brings a valuable contribution that will allow us to think about this theme with greater mastery, depth and intellectual organization, thus configuring a theoretical and empirical advance in the field of creativity understood as a developmental and dialogical process.
