Presentation of the Special Issue. Cultural Innovation in the Basque Country: A Polyhedral View
Presentación del Número Especial. Innovación cultural en el País Vasco: Una visión poliédrica
Abstract
The Special Issue entitled "Cultural innovation in the Basque Country: A polyhedral perspective" brings together 6 articles written by members of the research group of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) "INNOkLab: Laboratory of Cultural Innovation”. The articles are, precisely, the result of a reflexive process to delimit a complex but extraordinarily suggestive field of study such as cultural innovation, from an epistemological perspective that understands cultural evolution and cultural change as a constitutive part of the most dynamic socio-technical systems of the present. It is, therefore, a collective effort that attends to the links between innovation and culture from the consideration that the associations and connections that make innovation processes possible are also the result of the transformation of daily routines, identities, symbolic interpretations and emotional repertoires of the actors involved.
Resumen
El presente Número Especial que lleva por título “La innovación cultural en el País Vasco: Una mirada poliédrica” reúne 6 artículos elaborados por los miembros del emergente grupo de investigación de la Universidad del País Vasco / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU) “INNOkLab: Laboratorio de Innovación Cultural”. Los artículos son, precisamente, el resultado de un proceso reflexivo por delimitar un campo de estudio complejo, pero extraordinariamente sugerente como la innovación cultural, desde una perspectiva epistemológica que entiende la evolución y el cambio cultural como parte constitutiva de los sistemas socio-técnicos más dinámicos de la actualidad. Se trata, por lo tanto, de un esfuerzo colectivo que atiende a los vínculos entre la innovación y la cultura desde la consideración de que las asociaciones y conexiones que hacen posible los procesos de innovación son también el resultado de la transformación de rutinas cotidianas, identidades, interpretaciones simbólicas y repertorios emocionales de los propios actores implicados.
