Popis: Finding conditions that are conducive to creative practice is a perennial concern in today’s accelerating world, but temporal theories that might shed light onto this problematic still lag behind the day-to-day practicalities of actually doing creative work. This chapter shows that clock time, with its realist focus on the ordered succession of past, present, and future, is inadequate as a basis for understanding the ways in which creative practice is temporally resourced. Drawing on the idealist philosophies of Bergson, Heidegger, and Mead, an alternative becoming temporality characterized by the timefulness of interpenetrating pasts and futures is elaborated. Rather than simply protecting pockets of time for innovation, timefulness evokes mindfulness, carefulness, and playfulness as actions to be nurtured if creativity is to flourish.
