Abstract:
Collective Creativity offers an analysis of the explosion of artistic creativity currently taking place on the South Pacific island of Rarotonga. With a close examination of tourism, galleries and, of course, the artists themselves Katherine Giuffre presents a detailed picture of a complex and multi-faceted community through the words of the art-world participants themselves. This book will appeal to South Pacific anthropologists as well as scholars concerned with ethnicity, creativity, globalization and network analysis
