This analysis examines creativity's ties to neoliberalism and explores collaboration's significance, suggesting new perspectives.
Creativity, along with its associated terms precarity and resilience, is often viewed as a mode of governmentality that drives neoliberalism. Such a critique is not only repetitive and condescending towards creative practitioners, but it is also Eurocentric. The notion of promiscuity helps to emphasise creativity’s collaborative relationality and move beyond its anthropocentric underpinnings. This requires a combination of ethnographic approaches with a close reading of texts.
