From creatio ex nihilo to Cool Britania. Towards the Sources of the Discourse of Creativity

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse the “myth of origin” of the contemporary discourse of creativity and to reveal its constructed character. A skeptical look at the seemingly linear transformation of a popular idea reveals not only discontinuity and numerous ruptures in the process of changing the ways of understanding the concept, but also the unintended functions of contemporary explanations of the genesis of creativity. Analysis of ways of thematizing creativity in religious, artistic, philosophical and scientific discourse serves to answer the question, how creativity has become a core of the modernization narrative tied with the categories of innovation, creative industries, cultural economics and creative cities.
