Abstract

This chapter of Communicating Creativity: The Discursive Facilitation of Creative Activity in Arts focuses on the discourse of motivation. The chapter shows how, in response to their construction of the students as unmotivated, the tutors collaboratively develop a discursive strategy to motivate the students into creative action. Underpinning the justification for this strategy is the tutors’ belief that motivated students should be consistently producing work as the result of an ongoing explorative process; a view seemingly in conflict with the students’ own creative motivations which appear more closely related to their identities, desires, and ideal future selves.
