Book Synopsis

Creative Work and Distributions of Power is a journey toward an energized and expanded space for considering power in discussions of creative work.

Starting with the participatory creativity framework, this book expertly guides readers through case studies of two very different examples of creative work: the 20th-century, groundbreaking systems theorist Gregory Bateson and the current musician/polymath Tyler, The Creator.

The result is a model of the functions of creative work in mediating personal capacities and larger societal forces.
