Fiscar 2010
January 6, 2010 | Levent OZLER
Fiscar 2010 is a multi-disciplinary conference for researchers, professionals, and practitioners.
The conference is dedicated to examining human creative activities. The conference theme is "Perspectives on social creativity, designing and activity."
We conceive of design as a field of knowledge and activity concerned with the creation of artifacts.
Creative activities operate with diverse modes of knowing and representations.
Creativity is a social quality that involves communication and community formation.
Creative activities and design are needed when humans transform their circumstances by developing new technologies and institutions.
Creation of the new relies on cultural mediation and historically accumulated resources.
Activity theory and socio-cultural approaches offer fresh perspectives on these themes.
The conference aims at bringing together diverse points of view and disciplinary orientations to discuss social creativity, design and activity.
