Abstract
Providing different creative approaches and involving different players, opposite worlds co-exist within a creative industry. Nevertheless, surprising collaborations occur between these worlds. Based on an in-depth exploratory study in the perfume industry, this paper analyzes how designers can create differently in such opposite worlds. In addition to the social and conventional dimensions, we show that these opposite worlds are structured by differences in industry organization, distribution systems and creation processes. We propose the notion of contextual creativity: it means that creators’ creativity is embedded in a specific context. We identify a specific kind of collaboration between opposite worlds: creative symbiosis.
Résumé
Une industrie créative peut abriter des mondes opposés, proposant des produits différents et reposant sur des acteurs différents. Néanmoins, des collaborations se produisent entre ces deux mondes. À partir d’une étude approfondie dans l’industrie du parfum, cet article analyse comment des designers créent différemment dans deux mondes opposés. En plus des dimensions sociales et conventionnelles, nous montrons que ces mondes opposés se structurent autour d’organisations, de systèmes de distribution et de processus de création différents. Nous proposons la notion de créativité contextuelle pour traduire que la créativité des créateurs s’inscrit dans un contexte spécifique. Nous identifions un type spécifique de collaboration entre mondes opposés : la symbiose créative.
Resumen
Una industria creativa puede albergar mundos opuestos, ofrecer productos diferentes y confiar en diferentes actores. Sin embargo, colaboraciones se producen entre estos dos mundos. Basado en un estudio en profundidad en la industria del perfume, este artículo analiza cómo los diseñadores crean de manera diferente en dos mundos opuestos. Además de las dimensiones sociales y convencionales, mostramos que estos mundos opuestos están estructurados por diferencias en la organización de la industria, los sistemas de distribución y los procesos de creación. Proponemos el concepto de creatividad contextual: significa que la creatividad de los creadores está integrada en un contexto específico. Identificamos un tipo específico de colaboración entre mundos opuestos: la simbiosis creativa.
