Creativity is astir: reborn, re-conjured, re-branded, resurgent. The old myths of creation and creators - the hallowed labors and privileged agencies of demiurges and prime movers, of Biblical world-makers and self-fashioning artist-geniuses - are back underway, producing effects, circulating appeals. Much as the Catholic Church dresses old creationism in the new gowns of 'intelligent design', the Creative Industries sound the clarion call to the Cultural Entrepreneurs. In the hype of the 'creative class' and the high flights of the digital bohemians, the renaissance of 'the creatives' is visibly enacted. The essays collected in this book analyze this complex resurgence of creation myths and formulate a contemporary critique of creativity.

In the frame of differentiation theory and based on recent results of sociology and economics of art it is emphasized that the art field still shows a high degree of autonomy in spite of a general diffusion of processes of economization and the reconciliation of art and management described by Eve Chiapello in this volume. Whereas Smudits tends to attribute only one major general social function to art the contribution demonstrates, that the field of art is differentiated into diverse subfields with different logics and diverse cultural and social functions. Drawing on th...
