Semiotic and creativity

Cynthia C. Rostankowski

pp. 439-443

In this paper a semiotic account of the nature of creativity is suggested and developed. Charles S. Peirce's theory of signs provides an explanation of what creativity is, as well as accounting for the necessary conditions which must be met in order for an entity to be properly identified as creative. The fine arts provide the focus for this account, since artistic productions suggest strong similarities among themselves in this regard, despite media differences.
