Critique de processus de création : une approche théorique possible

The object of this article is to present the research on creative processes developed at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo/Brazil (PUC/SP) since 1990. Primarily, we will make a brief history of this line of research, discussing some methodological procedures, followed by a theoretical proposal for a critical approach to the process, considering some specificities of the creative paths of the theatre. It is a theory of creative processes of semiotic basis (Peirce), in dialogue with the concept of network (Musso), which led to the concept of creation as a network under construction. that supports what I have been calling criticism of creative processes. Finally, we will discuss the relevance of this approach for critical reflections on contemporary experimentation, based on a work of the French artist Jérôme Bel.
