Creative writing, creativity, psychology, neuroscience, rhetoric, imitation, writing tradeAbstract
An adequate theoretical foundation about creativity seems necessary to, subsequently, ask oneself about the most relevant methodology to better teach this subject. The article departs from a systemic conception of creativity, and delves into this based on advances made by psychology and neuroscience, without neglecting other foundations for the development of writing. Creative writing thus becomes a vehicle for the reintegration of literary studies.
