The encounter between identity and innovation

HomeThe encounter between identity and innovation Call for papersRepresentation The encounter between identity and innovation An explosive brake of creativity Published on Tuesday, January 30, 2024 Abstract The Arab Democratic Center based in Berlin, Germany, is pleased to announce a call for contributions for an international Hybrid conference focusing on The encounter between identity and innovation: An explosive brake of creativity. Announcement Preamble This international, multidisciplinary conference opens up a new perspective on the intersection between identity and innovation, by inviting researchers to reflect on the different issues that can arise from any project that aims to be creative. This theme focuses on two aspects. The first stems from the paradox contained in the antithetical expression “An explosive brake”, which brings to mind states of bubbling, contemplation and cogitation, held back by various constraints, but aiming to achieve a reconciliation between identity and innovation. The second part will look at the different angles that can be taken in relation to specialities rooted in creativity and which simultaneously call upon the notions of identity and innovation. In fact, it will aim to provide information on the polysemy that emerges from the different meanings of the terms Identity and Innovation, as well as on the pluridisciplinarity of identity to which the conference relates. Certainly, the merging projections of the two conceptual spheres “Identity and Innovation”, through the various angles of vision, will affect a semantic adaptation, of the two concepts, relative to the speciality. However, anchoring “Innovation” in a creative project could converge towards an ideal goal that is novative, renewing, innovative or inventing new content. The transition or evolution from one level to another could depend on the impact of dominant or dominated identity in the idea representation through various media. The balancing between the dominance and domination of the two spheres will shape the metaphorical image of the creator’s reflexive bubbling and the various correlations that result in the face of the different backwardness factors of perceptible creativity. The pluridisciplinary identity in the elaboration of a creative project could be both a brake and a stimulating source of innovation. Furthermore, identity could exist as a pioneering value, intrinsic and integral, and/or extrinsic, perceptible in the various components of the creative process. On the other hand, could this identity become a factor that can be modelled by innovation, keeping its original detectable signs as a stimulating source of innovation? Moreover, identity could exist as a pioneering value, intrinsic and integral, and/or extrinsic, perceptible in the various components of the creative process but could this identity become a factor that can be modelled by innovation, while retaining its original detectable signs? On the other hand, identity could be manifested through the mechanisms and artefacts of representation, just as it will be embodied in the same associations and articulations of these mechanisms. Let us take the example of Andy Warhol’s identity through his screen-printing of Marilyn Monroe, even though screen-printing already existed, the identity of the creator could be seen in the work through the technicality and know-how in design, art, cinema, theatre, architecture, etc., that are always bouncing off innovation. Research objectives To identify the visible signs of contingent concepts resulting from the encounter between identity and innovation through creative work from various specialities in the fields of design, the arts, cinema, etc. To present analyses and solutions to problems arising from the encounter between identity and innovation. To discover the processes involved in modelling the identity imprint during the development and innovation of a creative project in various fields. To facilitate and update pedagogical teaching while maintaining the identity philosophy of the higher education institution. Research areas Technological innovation and the shaping of identity. Technological innovation dominates and/or dissipates identity, highlighting the impact of new technologies on individual and collective identity. Identity sacralisation: innovation or mimesis This line of research highlights the redundancies that could result from the sacralisation of identity, through each step of the creation process of a new project. In this case, excessive representation of identity could encourage imitation. The fusion of identities: a hybrid innovation This line of research aims to examine how the integration and interaction of identities can be the source of innovation. Social innovation and resistance: the identity crisis This theme aims to highlight the importance of identity innovation in overcoming social obstacles and resisting identity crisis. Heritage identity: an innovative material and/or immaterial representation of values, experience and/or emotion. This section seeks to enhance heritage identity by representing various tangible and intangible innovations, and expressing values, experiences and emotions. Teaching methods between identity philosophy and innovation. This line of research analyzes the various pedagogical methods used in teaching, following the philosophical specificities of an academic institution’s identity, showing the different phases of innovation.
