Description
Arguing that play is a social and cultural phenomenon of adult life, enveloped by wider structures and processes of society, this work explores Karl Marx's analysis of creativity in human labour, examines Emile Durkheim's observations on the role of ritual and the formation of collective consciousness, and more.
