TALK: Two Cups of Coffee and Activity Circle

An ecological metaphor for thematic conversation

The article is part of the Creative Dialogue project which aims to introduce “Creative Dialogue” as a new Unit of Analysis of Creative Life Theory by curating relevant frameworks and articles.

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 book (draft) titled Creative Life Curation, I developed Creative Life Theory (v1.0) which considers the following five units of analysis.

1. Creative Actions
2. Creative Projects
3. Creative Journey
4. Creative Landscape
5. Creative Lifescope

The framework also highlights the following three types of “Curativity”:

• Curativity 1: Turning pieces of Projects into a Journey as a meaningful whole
• Curativity 2: Turning pieces of Projects into a Landscape as a meaningful whole
• Curativity 3: Turning pieces of Actions and Projects into a Lifescope as a meaningful whole
