Mapping the “Curativity” Thematic Enterprise
Curativity and Other Possible Books
On March 31, 2025, I made a possible book titled Pieces, Whole, and Curativity: Curativity Theory in the Field (book, 2025). This marks the 42nd possible book!
What was the first possible book?
It was titled Curativity: The Ecological Approach to General Curation Practice.
In March 2019, I completed Curativity, the draft of my first theory book. This marked the beginning of a six-year creative journey, resulting in a set of knowledge frameworks, diagrams, methods, and 42 possible books.
This is a fantastic, creative journey!
Interestingly, the 42nd possible book, at the end of this journey, returns to its beginning!
On September 2, 2022, I used the Thematic Landscape Map to visualize the landscape of my “Curativity” knowledge enterprise. See the diagram below. For larger diagrams and further details, refer to Slow Cognition: Mapping Thematic Landscape (Curativity, 2019–2022).
In this article, I will map the “Curativity” thematic enterprise by exploring the related possible books.
