Paradigms, Relativism and the Creative Process:
Ongoing social and dynamic social discourse where we participate
Paradigm:
- Framework, basic assumption, ways of thinking methodically
- Cognitive framework's shared by members of a group
- A pattern of something to follow
- Standard perspective of set ideas
Paradigm Shift:
- Change in approach to assumptions
Relativism:
- Implies something is understood in terms of what it stands in relation to context
Cultural Relativism:
- Values and our cultural are true and valid in own cultural context
Individuality and self expression is defined by the fundamental need for self determination and authority of the creative process but find itself at the same time within a social discourse
Different theoretical perspectives provide different insights and help to navigate different landscape - landscape determines what we can and can't do
Shape of culture is changing characteristics change through different contexts, values and attitudes
Competing paradigms account for the variety of expression in us all. Both establish and break rules
Genre, style, message, medium process and location are one set paradigm
"Unity in variety"
The degree to which cultural making seeks free expression or is based on shared values of specific groups or exists according to rules
Societies and cultures vary and often stages of cultural evolution co-exist with one society where parts remain marginalized by reliance on farming, extremity's or both. More adaptive practice reflect changes need can be evident
Cultural paradigms within relative perspective can form new hybrids that are valid, authentic and new
Cultures, societies can clash with different values and are changed by opposing/conflicting paradigms
Assimilation, appropriation and acculturation can be a consequence
Inevitable to absorb patterns, models and paradigms because they are all around us
