Poetics and Politics of Literary and Dramatic Creativity [‘Zibāeishenāsi va Siyāsat-e Āfarinesh-e Adabi va Namāyeshi’ in Persian]

Description

The event included a talk of about 60 minutes and about 2 hours of Q&A and discussion. The talk introduced Talajooy's theory of creativity which focuses on how marginalised individuals can transform their minority perspective into epistemic privilege and authority by transforming it into a perceptive outsider gaze and how the latter when joined with in-depth intercultural knowledge of history and aesthetics can lead to a kind of creativity that transforms a culture by highlighting the failures that others may miss an introducing new ways of seeing, doing and understanding.
