Resumen
La noción de creatividad social tiende a ser asociada a capacidades presuntamente universales atribuidas abstractamente a los seres humanos o a condiciones que se suponen inherentes a la acción social. Oponiéndome a ambas tendencias, en este artículo intento sentar las bases para un uso adecuado del concepto desde un punto de vista etnográfico, optando por tratar estrictamente a los seres humanos y a su acción como socialmente situados. A tal fin, propongo considerar la creatividad social como un aspecto de los procesos producción social, restringir los alcances del concepto a la introducción socialmente eficaz de novedades en la vida social, y determinar la novedad relativa de los hechos sociales apelando a criterios de carácter etnográfico.
The notion of social creativity tends to be associated either with supposedly universal capacities abstractly attributed to human beings, or with conditions that are postulated as inherent in all social action. In opposition to both trends, in this article I attempt to establish the basis for a proper use of the concept from an ethnographic point of view. As a starting point, I opt for strictly treating human beings and their action as socially situated. In order to accomplish my end, I suggest that we should consider social creativity as an aspect of the processes of social production, restrict the scope of the concept to the socially efficacious introduction of innovations in social life, and determine the relative novelty of social facts by appealing to ethnographic criteria.
