Reflexiones sobre creatividad: el poder de subjetivación del ser humano
REFLECTIONS ON CREATIVITY: THE POWER OF HUMAN SUBJECTIVITY
Abstract (en)
Creativity specifically emerges from the power of subjectivation and self-transcendence of human beings. From the perspective of philosophical anthropology, the capacity to be creative results from the “eccentric positionality” of humans beings, which explains their power of reflexivity and the compulsion and necessity to create culture. According to the sociological-anthropological theory of creativity by Heinrich Popitz, this human capacity to develop something new is based on the forms of action of exploring, creating, establishing meaning and playing. To explain the power of subjectivation of the individual, we introduce the phenomenologically oriented sociology of Alfred Schütz, who offers
a theory of relevances which allows analyzing the subjective motivations which control the creative process.
Keywords:Creativity, subjectivation, imagination, life-worldly knowledge, relevances.

La creatividad especialmente surge del poder de subjetivación y de trascenderse a sí mismo el ser humano. La capacidad de ser creativo resulta, desde la perspectiva de la antropología filosófica, de la “posicionalidad excéntrica” del ser humano, la cual explica su poder de reflexividad y su compulsión y necesidad de crear cultura. Según la teoría de la creatividad de orientación sociológico-antropológica de Heinrich Popitz, esta capacidad humana de desarrollar lo nuevo está basada en las formas de acción de explorar, crear, generar sentido y jugar. Para explicar el poder de subjetivación del individuo, introducimos la sociología con orientación fenomenológica de Alfred Schütz, quien ofrece una teoría de las relevancias que permite analizar las motivaciones subjetivas que conducen el proceso creativo.
