We can talk about lateral thinking without getting sidetracked into other aspects of artistic achievement. There is a mathematical definition of lateral thinking based on the formation of asymmetric patterns in self organising information systems. Lateral Thinking is specifically concerned with changing concepts and perceptions. That is one of the reasons why I invented the term ‘lateral thinking’ (1967). If, whenever, we talk about creativity we are linked to the artistic model it becomes difficult to make progress. Their emotional resonance, sensitivity, power of expression and aesthetic sense may be superb but there may be very little change. But many artists are not creative in the sense of ‘change’. So creativity means bringing into being something new that has value. There are many people capable of creating ‘messes’. The word ‘create’ means bringing into being something new. I am not happy with the general term ‘creativity’. I list some points below and will return in more detail to them in future ‘new messages’.ġ. What ideas do you hold about this matter?

Yet through Bagge's skilled cartooning, he turns what could be a rote biography into a bold and dazzling graphic novel, creating a story as brilliant as the life itself. If Bagge had not already had a New York Times bestseller with his biography of Margaret Sanger, his newest biography, Fire!!: The Zora Neale Hurston Story, would seem to be an unfathomable pairing of author and subject. Peter Bagge has defied the expectations of the comics industry by changing gears from his famous slacker hero Buddy Bradley to documenting the life and times of historical 20th century trailblazers. In this groundbreaking study, which includes interviews with artists and writers, Deborah Whaley suggests that the treatment of the Black female subject in sequential art says much about the place of people of African descent in national ideology in the United States and abroad. As the first detailed investigation of Black women's participation in comic art, Black Women in Sequence examines the representation, production, and transnational circulation of women of African descent in the sequential art world. From the 1971 appearance of the Skywald Publications character "the Butterfly"-The first Black female superheroine in a comic book-to contemporary comic books, graphic novels, film, manga, and video gaming, a growing number of Black women are becoming producers, viewers, and subjects of sequential art. Black Women in Sequence: Re-inking Comics, Graphic Novels & Animeīlack Women in Sequence takes readers on a search for women of African descent in comics subculture. Her books include Books under Fire: A Hit List of Banned and Challenged Children's Books, Second Edition, Teaching Banned Books: 32 Guides for Children and Teens, Second Edition, and Protecting Intellectual Freedom in Your School Library.
