This article reviews conceptualizations from three academic areas: the sociology of art, the psychology of creativity, and research on the cultural and creative industries. These are compared with findings from a critical discursive study with UK practitioners. The meanings and associations these maker artists attach to creativity are discussed as a practitioner concept. For the practitioners, the association of creativity with art carries a promise of transcendence and escape from ordinary life but also a potential challenge to their own entitlement and claims to a creative status. These findings demonstrate that the academic areas utilize different and conflicting conceptualizations and, second, that the practitioner concept is not consistent with any one of these. In conclusion, the contemporary celebration of creativity is based on different meanings and unacknowledged conflicts. Future social psychological research on creativity requires a more critical approach to the concept.

从业者观念的当代创造

本文回顾了三个学术领域的概念化：艺术社会学，创造力心理学以及文化和创意产业研究。将这些与英国从业者进行的关键性话语研究的结果进行比较。这些创作者赋予创造力的意义和联想被作为实践者概念进行了讨论。对于从业者来说，创造力与艺术的结合带来了超越和摆脱普通生活的希望，同时也对他们自身的权利和创造力提出了潜在的挑战。这些发现表明，学术领域利用了不同且相互矛盾的概念，其次，从业者的概念与以上任何一种都不符。结论，当代的创造力庆祝活动基于不同的意义和未认识到的冲突。未来关于创造力的社会心理学研究需要对这一概念采取更为严格的方法。
