A Quadrilogue on Quadrilogue

The notion of collective creativity has always been primarily attached to artistic collectives and their practices. Even thought collective creativity (in the sense of actual production of a concrete artwork) has been subjected to intense questioning or even dismissal in favour of persistent focus on individual genius, it managed to preserve its legitimate place, especially in relation to research of collective artistic practices. Scientific research has, of course, also often been collective, although it is sometimes reduced to collaborations in which each scientist is in charge of a specific research segment, which she or he undertakes individually. We are, however, interested here in that type of collective creativity or inter-cerebral collaboration (G. Tarde) in the arts and science, which jointly produces new knowledge. This new knowledge cannot be attributed specifically to any particular individual, even though it brings each of them individually new knowledge in return. Specifically, through a quadrilogue focused on the theme of collective creativity in academic research, we will describe and think through our research and writing experiences using this method - in relation to both production and reception of our work.
