Temporality and Reflexivity: Toward the Creative Engagement of Consciousness

Heather Hopkins

Department of Behaviour in Organisations, Gillow House, University of Lancaster, Lancaster LAl 4YX, England.

All experience is located in consciousness in some temporal order. This is assigned meaning through reflexivity and integrated into an enduring concept of self. However, experiences which are inconsistent with the individual's self-concept will constitute a threat creating division between those experiences which are under the control of the self and those which are not. In this way, work imposes a distinction between time which the individual can control and time which is assigned to the control of another. This paper considers the role of radical reflexivity in reuniting subjective experience with perceived "objective" reality in the synthetic creative act.
