Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study has explored the relationships between creativity and empowerment, focusing on the concepts of “generative creation” and “retelling.” As a result, it has been cleared that that creativity and empowerment coexist when creation occurs through a “generatively created” method that maximizes the potential of each participant and produces “retelling.” Given this, the study has created a model of facilitation and project design for the co-creative arts activities that ensure the link between creativity and empowerment.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

21世紀に入り、アーティストが一般参加者と作品やパフォーミングアーツを創造する共創的芸術実践の機会が飛躍的に増加した。しかし、従来の芸術学、アートマネジメント、文化政策の研究方法では、芸術実践が人に及ぼす効果やそのプロセスを明らかにすることができなかった。そこで、新しい文化社会学的方法で事例を分析し、認知科学的な知見を用いながら理論的検討を行うことで、これらの解明を試みた。また、本研究で得られた知見をハンドブックにまとめ、現場の実践家にも伝えた。
