宗教活动，特别是与所谓的日常有组织的宗教有关的活动，在最近关于创造力的地理和政策的讨论中没有得到考虑，在地理学最近的“创造性转向”学科中几乎没有。我们认为，宗教已经很少或根本没有注意到在本土的创造力的学术讨论，而艺术政策，因为它在战后时期在英国的发展有一个强烈的世俗的重点。这一点在最近旨在促进业余和志愿艺术部门的政策和倡议中继续存在。我们探讨了这些缺席的原因，然后转向一系列案例研究中强烈的创造性实践的例子，集中在西伦敦郊区的一个小区域。这些作品展示了非凡的创造力多样性，包括建筑物和宗教礼拜空间的设计、建造和改造，以及仪式、表演和建造神圣空间的日常实践。我们的案例研究包括在泰米尔语的印度教寺庙，并在罗马天主教，圣公会和五旬节教会的性能和物质文化的检查。这些包括改变建筑形式，彩色玻璃艺术品，社区工艺项目，音乐表演和作曲。我们认为，宗教的创造力有一个隐藏的意义，在英国日益多样化的城市和郊区，变得更加重要，重要的人口群体被边缘化的创意辩论和政策，重点放在世俗艺术。我们还认为，我们所描述的“奉献创造力”有其独特的特征，特别是在对空间，实践和经验的不同理解中。
Religious activity, particularly as associated with what might be called everyday organized religion, has been unconsidered in recent discussions of the geographies and policies relating to creativity, and has been almost absent in the discipline of Geography’s recent ‘creative turn’. We argue both that religion has been given little or no attention in academic discussions of vernacular creativity, while arts policy as it developed in the United Kingdom in the post-war period has had a strongly secular focus. This continues in more recent policies and initiatives that have sought to promote the amateur and voluntary arts sectors. We explore the reasons for these absences, before turning to examples of strongly creative practice in a range of case studies, focused in a small area of suburban West London. These show a remarkable diversity of creativity including the design, construction and transformation of buildings and spaces for religious worship, but also in ritual, performance and the everyday practices of making sacred space. Our case studies include examination of performance and material culture in a Tamil-speaking Hindu temple, and in Roman Catholic, Anglican and Pentecostal churches. These include changes to architectural form, stained glass artwork, community craft projects, and musical performance and composition. We suggest that religious creativity has a hidden significance that has become more important in the United Kingdom’s increasingly diverse cities and suburbs, and that significant population groups are marginalized in creativity debates and policies that focus on the secular arts. We also suggest that there are distinctive characteristics to what we describe as ‘devotional creativity’, particularly in different understandings of space, practice and experience.
