Creative Participation - originally a Lucien Lévy-Bruhl term from the 1920s for analysing social relations of cultural groupings, modified and revived by the German ethnologist V. Dahlheimer- rewrites the traditional participant observation approach and leaves more room for non-materialistic cognition.
Dynamic movements which can not be measured from disconnected or relative viewpoints can be captured by means of feelings.
Verification of data through creative participation is possible through practical conception only and can at best be validated by empirical means.
When consumers need to acquire the symbol of distinct self by unique products, they are driven to create.
It can breakdown barriers between participants (and agencies), and encourage creative problem-solving, and the building of positive relationships.
