Mapping Creative Dialogue (book, v1, 2024)

A New Unit of Analysis of Creative Life Theory

From 2022 to 2023, I worked on developing the Creative Life Curation project and the Knowledge Engagement project. The outcome is a new theoretical approach to knowledge creators’ life course: Creative Life Theory.

In the past several years, I developed a set of concepts, diagrams, knowledge frameworks, and metaphors to discuss a family of topics such as boundary innovation, opposite themes, thematic conversation, creative dialogue, etc.

In the past several weeks, I realized that “Creative Dialogue” is a significant aspect of Creative Life. So I decided to add “Creative Dialogue” as a new unit of analysis to Creative Life Theory and edit a new possible book.
