Latest version of plan overview

Earlier in the week I updated the short overview of my plan on my ePortfolio web pages:

I am currently investigating the creative synthesis of the imagination in the works of Deleuze and Guattari, developing this into a concept map. This will consider the dominance of vision and its relationship to sonorous experience. I am following the MA module Philosophies of Difference II, taught by Darren Ambrose. This is concerned with the aesthetics of Deleuze and Guattari, concentrating upon their book What Is Philosophy? and Deleuze's book on the painter Francis Bacon, The Logic Of Sensation.

My plan is to develop a detailed account of the workings of creativity, derived from Deleuze and Guattari, whilst using this to write a series of schizoanalytic case studies of creative events. These case studies will range across artistic, scientific, philosophic, political, social, animal, environmental and other planes, with the aim of testing Deleuze and Guattari's model in many different circumstances, and discovering differences and similarities between creativity in the distinct planes. This may also identify the extent to which transversality between the planes is a necessary condition for creativity within a plane. The ultimate aim is to settle the question: can there be a technology of creativity? and by implication, can creativity be taught? how? what can our new technology contribute? – having immediate relevance to software design, educational practice and cultural policy.
