The main purpose of this essay is to investigate professional artists experience of the need and use of information in their creative work. I have collected the material through qualitative interviews with four professional artist working with different materials and techniques. One of the results of the study is that the artists first of all used information as a source of inspiration in their creative work. They gathered their information from various scources, for example; pictures, exhibitions, visual arts, books and novells, depending on what project they are working with. Other important information scources were colleges, especially for the technical information need. The artists also searched for information in a wide range of subjects and showed interest in areas that are not considerable art-related.

Dynamism, versatility, engagement, selfmanagement, and creativity are just some of the values preached as ideals to be internalized by the workforce. The analysis of work in graphic design seems to indicate if these values are empirically experienced. We tried to analyze the configuration of the activity, the daily activities of this creative work, the personal and professional networks that determine the entry and stay in the sector, the contradictions between the individual creative potential of these workers against the demands of its customers as well as against the uncertainty and flexibility of this labor market. The work by projects, the intermittency of employment contracts, freelancing and the resulting instability are features that compose this activity despite all the glamor that the designation design brings. Nine semi-structured interviews with graphic designers, both actual and through virtual devices (email, Facebook and Skype), seven of them working in the interior of São Paulo, and two in the state capital were performed. / Diante das mudanças ocorridas a partir da chamada flexibilização da produção e processos de trabalho, novas análises sobre a categoria trabalho têm se esforçado para compreender suas atuais configurações e seus reflexos no cotidiano dos trabalhadores. Dinamismo, polivalência, engajamento, autogerenciamento e criatividade são apenas alguns dos valores pregados como ideais a serem internalizados pela força de trabalho. A análise sobre o trabalho no design gráfico parece indicar empiricamente se esses valores são vivenciados, e os conflitos decorrentes. Buscou-se mostrar a configuração da atividade, o dia a dia desse trabalho tido como criativo, as redes pessoais e profissionais que condicionam a entrada e permanência no setor, as contradições existentes entre o potencial criativo individual desses trabalhadores e as demandas de seus clientes e o cenário de incertezas e flexibilidade desse mercado de trabalho. O trabalho por projetos, a intermitência dos contratos de trabalho, o freelancing e a instabilidade resultante são características que compõem essa atividade, apesar de todo o glamour que essa denominação traz consigo. Foram realizadas nove entrevistas semiestruturadas com designers gráficos, tanto presencialmente como por meio de dispositivos virtuais de interação social (e-mail, Facebook e Skype), sete deles atuantes no interior de São Paulo, e dois na capital do estado.

In conclusion, this thesis has found out that main factors are: rapid growth and transformation of the firm into more permanent form, power of informal organizations and creative work itself. In respons to the negative effects of these factors on creative workers, management established a new postion of HR manager who is carrying out several practices to reduce the negative effects. Training, personal and professional development and retention practices helped to balance Wil Film and positively contributed to firms prosperity. These practices are in contrast with literarture that assumes that HR practices make no sense in the creative industries.

La thèse analyse les modes de production de valeur et les mécanismes du travail dans un milieu particulier, celui de l'escalade, en empruntant les outils conceptuels de recherches menées dans le domaine de la création. En s'appuyant sur de récentes investigations sur le travail créateur réalisées dans les mondes de l'art, de la mode ou de la communication, cette étude appréhende la figure du grimpeur professionnel comme le résultat d'un processus collectif d'élaboration mobilisant différents groupes d'acteurs. En travaillant ensemble, ceuxci vont produire un idéal, celui du « professionnel » qui, grâce au soutien des marques, des entreprises ou des fédérations, voyage à travers le monde afin de réaliser sa passion. Cette enquête ethnographique menée entre 2012 et 2014 aux Etats-Unis et en Europe de l'Ouest avec certains des meilleurs grimpeurs professionnels mondiaux, des photographes, des vidéastes, des journalistes ou encore des membres de l'industrie spécialisée permet d'éclairer la construction de la « professionnalité » et les mécanismes de travail qui lui sont associés. Il est question, d'une part, d'étudier comment et pourquoi des individus travaillent ensemble et, d'autre part, d'analyser l'organisation et la structuration de ce travail créateur. En effet, derrière le sens et les représentations associés à la figure du « grimpeur professionnel » qui se dédie exclusivement à la réalisation d'une activité primaire, l'escalade, le travail de ce dernier repose fondamentalement sur la polyvalence professionnelle. Ainsi, cette étude explore le quotidien de ceux qui ont atteint le sommet de leur art et fait le pari audacieux que l'analyse réalisée contribue à la connaissance du travail créateur tel qu'il est analysé dans d'autres domaines / This research analyzes the production of value and the transformations of work and labor in climbing by drawing on the conceptual tools of recent research in the realm of creation. Building on studies of creative work in the worlds of art, fashion and communication, this research captures the persona of the professional climber as the result of a collective process of elaboration carried out by different groups of actors. By working together, they produce an ideal of the “professional”, who, thanks to the support of brands, companies and sports federations, travels across the world for climbing. An ethnographic research, conducted between 2012 and 2014 in the USA and Western Europe with some of the best professional climbers, photographers, filmmakers, and industry members, sheds light on the crafting of “professionalism” and the related mechanisms of work. The aim of the research, on the one hand, is to study how and why people work together and, on the other hand, to analyze the organization and structure of this creative work. In fact, beyond the meaning and representations associated with the persona of the professional climber whose work revolves exclusively on the primary task of climbing, the work of professional climbers is fundamentally multilayered. Therefore, this research explores the everyday livelihood of the ones who are at the top of their game and contributes to the knowledge of creative work as it has been studied in other areas

Detta examensarbete är en studie om hur karaktärsämneslärare inom gymnasieskolans medieprogram arbetar för att utveckla elevers kreativa förmåga. I uppsatsen synliggörs definition av kreativitet, arbetssätt för att främja kreativitet samt vad som är utmärkande för kreativa arbetsklimat. Undersökningen baseras på en kvalitativ studie i form av intervjuer som utmynnar i förståelse och handlingsmönster för de arbetssätt dessa pedagoger använder sig av för att främja kreativitet hos eleverna. Fem lärare från två olika gymnasieskolors medieprogram i skilda kommuner ingick i granskningen. Karaktärsämneslärarna definierar kreativitet med att det handlar om elevers personliga förnyelse av både tanke- och handlingsmönster. Kreativitet är en essentiell förmåga som är oumbärlig för varje elevs personliga vidareutveckling för att nå nya insikter. För att elever ska utvecklas kreativt behöver lärare uppmuntra och stimulera eleverna till nytänkande och nyskapande med hjälp av olika arbetssätt och verktyg. Lärandet får inte domineras av normen i att tänka logiskt och verbalt utan bör även uppmärksamma det visuella och intuitiva medvetandet hos eleverna för att de ska utvecklas kreativt. Samtidigt bör lärare värna om ett arbetsklimat som inbjuder till kreativitet. Det visar sig att skolan tycks sakna ett helhetsgrepp och en samsyn för hur lärare ska tolka begreppet kreativitet samt arbeta för att utveckla elevers kreativa förmåga. Eftersom olika styrdokument för diverse utbildningsprogram genomsyras av diffusa kreativitetsmål finns det ett behov av att väcka en diskussion kring kreativitet inom skolvärlden. / This thesis is a study of how subject teachers in upper secondary school media program works to develop students' creative ability. The paper reveals the definition of creativity, working to promote creativity and the characteristics of creative work climate. The survey is based on a qualitative study in the form of interviews, leading to understanding and action pattern for the way these educators use to promote creativity of students. Five teachers from two secondary schools media program in separate municipalities were included in the audit. Character subject teachers define creativity of pupils' personal renewal of both thought and action pattern. Creativity is an essential ability indispensable for each pupil's personal further development in order to achieve new insights. For students to develop creative ability, teachers need to encourage and stimulate students to innovation and creativity by using different methods and tools. Learning should not be dominated by the norm of how to think logically and verbally, but should also pay attention to the visual and intuitive minds of students so that they can develop their creative ability. At the same time, teachers should maintain a work environment that invites creativity. It turns out that the school seems to lack a comprehensive approach and a consensus on how teachers interpret the concept of creativity, and working to develop students' creative ability. Since different policies in relation to various training programs permeated by diffuse objectives of achieving creativity, there is a need to bring a discussion of creativity in the educational community.

The diploma thesis deals with art-philetics with a focus on the process of couple communication. Art-philetics is a developing field with a relatively stable theoretical foundation. However, no one has so far studied the usage of art-philetics in couple communication. This topic deserves to be paid due attention, since couple relationships are the foundation for a stable family system and also present a model for children - our future generation. Communication is one of the most fundamental tools for having a satisfying relationship. The objective of the thesis is to explore and analyse the processes that facilitate communication. The underlying research also examines the following hypothesis: art-philetics, with a special focus on communication, can be applied when working with couples. The target group is married couples with children. In order to achieve my the desired goal, a detailed project of a qualitative research in the form of two case studies has been devised. Data come from observation, discussions and reflections, and are then analysed. The results are verified using a questionnaire collecting the subjective views of the couples. The cornerstone of the thesis is the theoretical part. It contains an explanation of the concepts and processes of art-philetics and communication. Special...
