Refiguring creativity in virtual work: the digital‐material construction site
本文从现象学人类学视角，探讨虚拟工作配置中创造力如何通过即兴与认知的关系涌现，并以建筑行业数字技术改善工人安全健康为例，论证创造力是即兴与认知的构成过程。
In this article, we advance the question of how creativity is emerging in new virtual work configurations. We take two steps: first we draw on theoretical perspectives from phenomenological anthropology to engage an understanding of creativity as emerging through a relationship between the processual concepts of improvisation and knowing; second, we develop a focus on the digital materiality of virtual labour. To examine and draw together these themes we focus on a novel example of the use of digital technologies for improving worker safety and health in the construction industry by recognising how safety is constituted through worker creativity. We argue, on the basis of this, for a view of creativity as constituted through improvisation and knowing, and that invokes the possibility of thinking about virtual elements of work as part of the ongoing processes of work.
