Abstract This article presents a case in which analytical tools coming from the tradition of distributed cognition are able to account for what has been defined collaborative emergence (Sawyer & DeZutter, 2009; Sawyer 2012) in creative practices. With this article, we aim to contribute to the debate of distributed creativity by discussing an empirical case of collaborative emergence and providing the analytical tools able to account for its analysis. Introducing the concept of a creative network of interactions, we stress the importance of selecting, describing, and analysing the interactions that give rise to the collaborative emergence in creative work. Introducing the concept of collective creative imagination, we account for the collective emergence of the scene. We suggest that collaborative emergence is the result of a process of collective coordination and improvisation, emerging from moment-to-moment contingency in collective cognition and imagination. The new unpredictable outcome does not emerge from a sudden singular intuition avulsed from the environment, but it is the result of several coordinated steps made by the participants.

它从何而来？创造性工作实践中的协作涌现

摘要 本文介绍了一个案例，其中来自分布式认知传统的分析工具能够解释创造性实践中定义的协作出现（Sawyer & DeZutter，2009 年；Sawyer 2012 年）。在本文中，我们旨在通过讨论协作涌现的经验案例并提供能够解释其分析的分析工具，为分布式创造力的辩论做出贡献。引入创意互动网络的概念，我们强调选择、描述和分析导致创意工作中协同出现的互动的重要性。引入集体创造性想象的概念，我们解释了场景的集体出现。我们认为协作涌现是集体协调和即兴创作过程的结果，从集体认知和想象中的每时每刻的偶然性中出现。新的不可预测的结果并不是突然从环境中抽离出来的奇异直觉，而是参与者采取的几个协调步骤的结果。
