Podcasts about Johan Huizinga

Aan tafel deze week: straatarts Michelle van Tongerloo, filosoof Daan Roovers, kunstenaar Tina Farifteh, schrijver Chloe Dalton. Presentatie: Maaike Schoon Wil je meer weten over de gasten in Buitenhof? Op onze website vind je meer informatie. Daar kan je deze aflevering ook terugkijken en je vindt er natuurlijk nog veel meer gesprekken: https://bit.ly/44DbLUi Michelle van Tongerloo is huis- en straatarts, en in de Rotterdamse Pauluskerk zet zij zich in voor de medische zorg van daklozen. Van Tongerloo ziet al jaren hoe het aantal daklozen toeneemt. Met de winter in aantocht is het de vraag hoe deze groeiende groep de kou moet overleven. ‘Onze democratie staat onder druk', zegt filosoof Daan Roovers in de Huizingalezing deze week. Aan de hand van het werk van historicus Johan Huizinga onderzoekt ze wat een gezonde politieke cultuur vraagt van politici, burgers en media. Daarbij stelt Roovers scherpe vragen: hoe voorkomen we dat kabinetten blijven vallen? En is onze politiek, zoals Huizinga al in de jaren dertig schreef, gevangen in een permanente puberteit? Het vluchtelingendebat bepaalt al jaren de politieke agenda in Den Haag en zorgt voor rumoer in de samenleving. Daarbij verdwijnt vaak de menselijke kant. Met de tentoonstelling In Your Face legt Tina Farifteh juist die onderbelichte kant vast in het Nationaal Archief van het Rijksmuseum met het verhaal van een vluchteling zelf. Ze was een workaholic en politiek adviseur voor het Britse parlement tot een pasgeboren haasje haar aandacht trok. In haar bestseller Een Haas in Huis, schrijft Chloe Dalton hoe deze ervaring haar leven en haar blik op de natuur totaal veranderde. Het boek won verschillende literaire prijzen en was een New York Times-bestseller.

Johan Huizinga: Zlatý věk Nizozemí, Erasmus živý, člověk hrající si a temné stíny zítřka.

Samenvatting Te gast is Tim van der Meulen, tijdens de opname kerndocent didactiek bij Academica, nu gastdocent aldaar en fulltime werkzaam bij OCW expertisescholen, en we spreken over het paradoxale van spel en spelen in het onderwijs.Volgens Tim wordt het spel in het onderwijs vooral gebruikt in het kader van motivatie, zeker door onderwijsvernieuwers. Spelen wordt tegenover leren gezet. Maar wat als de school zelf het spel is? Dat heeft Tim tijdens zijn studies geschiedenis en filosofie geleerd van de visie op het spel en de spelende mens van historicus Johan Huizinga.Voor Huizinga zijn alle cultuurelementen spel, zoals de school, maar ook de wetenschap en de taal. Het wezenlijke kenmerk van het spel is zijn paradox. Enerzijds is het serieus, anderzijds een doen alsof. Enerzijds kent het regels en structuren, anderzijds gaat het om verbeelding en frivoliteit. De paradox van de spelende mens is dus dat wij helemaal in het spel opgaan, maar tegelijkertijd beseffen dat iets maar een spel is.Dat gebeurt precies in een goede les, stelt Tim. Een leraar hanteert heldere regels en een gestructureerde didactiek en uitleg, misschien wel met enige strengheid, en leerlingen doen enthousiast mee in dit spel, terwijl ze weten dat de serieuze leraar hen ook liefheeft. De vraag is echter of wij in onze cultuur en onze scholen dit onderwijspedagogische spel nog willen of kunnen spelen.Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door schoolleidersopleiding ATTC, de Internationale School Voor Wijsbegeerte en rustplek De vallei van het goede leven. 

In deze eerste van twee afleveringen over spelen in de professionele ruimte neemt Jan Jaap Hubeek je mee op een fascinerende reis langs denkers en doeners die laten zien waarom spel zo fundamenteel is voor de ontwikkeling van kinderen.We beginnen bij het concept van de professionele ruimte – die vrijheid die jij als pedagoog hebt en móet pakken om je werk betekenisvol in te richten. Theoloog Cok Bakker laat zien hoe onze interpretatie als professional vaak onzichtbaar maar altijd voelbaar is. Filosofe Hannah Arendt introduceert de 'tussenruimte': de school als beschermde plek tussen gezin en maatschappij, waar kinderen kunnen experimenteren zonder directe druk.Vervolgens duiken we de geschiedenis in. In 1938, terwijl Europa op de rand van oorlog staat, schrijft Johan Huizinga zijn meesterwerk 'Homo Ludens'. Zijn boodschap is krachtig: cultuur ontstaat niet úít spel, maar ín en áls spel. Als we het spelelement verliezen, verliezen we onze menselijkheid.Evolutiepsycholoog Peter Gray levert 75 jaar later het wetenschappelijke bewijs. Zijn jarenlange onderzoek toont aan: vrij spel is essentieel voor echte ontwikkeling. Rob Martens, hoogleraar onderwijswetenschappen, verbindt dit met de onderwijspraktijk en stelt de cruciale vraag: waarom hebben we een systeem ontwikkeld dat de natuurlijke speeldrang van kinderen onderdrukt?Ten slotte vertaalt Maria Montessori deze inzichten naar concrete pedagogiek met haar 'voorbereide omgeving' en vier vrijheden: keuzevrijheid, tempovrijheid, bewegingsvrijheid en niveauvrijheid.De rode draad? Hoe creëren we als professionals een ruimte waarin spel en leren weer samenvloeien?In de volgende aflevering bezoekt Jan Jaap de Montessorischolen van Stichting Monton en gaat hij in gesprek met bestuurder Jeroen Gommers, schoolleiders en leerkrachten over hoe zij deze ideeën in de dagelijkse praktijk brengen.Hoeveel ruimte maak jij eigenlijk voor het spel?

®Johan Huizinga considerò il gioco come il fondamento della cultura e della vita umana da quando si è organizzata in società. Egli sostenne che il gioco era tra le testimonianze più genuine della creatività. Jean Piaget attribuì̀ al gioco un ruolo rilevante nello sviluppo cognitivo del bambino. Anche Lev Vygotskij insistette sul ruolo determinante del gioco nello sviluppo del fanciullo dal punto di vista cognitivo, emotivo e sociale.Oggi di gioco si parla molto e il tema sta interessando sempre più ampiamente i genitori. In una società in cui i consumi e la tecnologia hanno ampiamente colonizzato anche il mondo dei giochi, la domanda è se sia meglio il gioco libero o quello strutturato. In questa edizione di Laser intervengono sull'argomento pedagogisti e psicologi dell'età evolutiva.Prima emissione: 18 novembre 2024

Beatrice de Graaf is fascinated by the tensions between terror and statehood and she asks what it really takes to maintain vibrant democracies in a neo-imperial world. Her turning point lies in the early 19th century. When Napoleon was finally defeated at Waterloo in 1815, the allies drew up a new political order in Europe. Its architecture not only shaped the patterns of alliances of Western powers and Russia engaged in a series of more or less difficult dances while leaving the Russian partners feeling betrayed, it also redefined the idea of terror and terrorism and answered the loss of metaphysical authority with a secular authority based not on democratic legitimacy, but on systematic surveillance and information gathering. Welcome to the modern nation state. In the early 21st century, the question remains how and indeed weather security and democratic freedoms can be reconciled, especially in an age of AI and digital self surveillance on an unprecedented scale. Could a fight against inequality be the only possibility for democracy to survive? And can we learn from history, after all?Support the show

durée : 00:04:47 - Jean Jouberton : chaque jeu vidéo est un musée - Jean Jouberton, 36 ans, a lancé un site consacré aux représentations d'œuvres d'art dans les jeux vidéo. Intitulé "Every Game A Museum", il catalogue les peintures et sculptures qu'il découvre au fur et à mesure de ses pérégrinations dans des univers vidéoludiques. Première diffusion le 18 octobre 2024 Jean Jouberton pianote sur son clavier avant de pointer l'ordinateur : "Voilà. J'ai référencé 326 œuvres de 193 artistes, conservées dans 132 musées. Elles ont été cataloguées dans 34 jeux". À l'écran, le nom s'affiche en grand : Every Game A Museum. Sur ce site, le chercheur indépendant a commencé à cataloguer toutes les représentations d'œuvres d'art, bien réelles, qu'il découvre au fur et à mesure de ses pérégrinations vidéoludiques. "Potentiellement, dans chaque jeu, on peut trouver des œuvres et donc chaque jeu est un musée virtuel", détaille-t-il. "Every Game Museum, c'est un projet de catalogage des œuvres d'art citées dans les jeux vidéo ; je veux dire par là peintures et sculptures essentiellement, mais aussi, mine de rien, dessins, gravures, et même des cartes..." Jean Jouberton prend donc des captures d'écran de chaque jeu qu'il parcourt : "Ça prend beaucoup de temps. Faire un jeu, c'est long, et parfois, je me force un peu quand ce sont des jeux qui ne sont pas le genre de jeux que j'affectionne... mais bon, c'est pour la science !", sourit-il. Un projet né à l'École du Louvre D'abord un compte Twitter, Every Game A Museum a fait sa mue, début septembre, pour devenir un site internet, grâce à l'aide d'un ami développeur de Jean Jouberton. Mais le projet est bien antérieur à ça. Il est né de sa passion de pour les jeux vidéo, présente depuis l'enfance, et de son intérêt pour l'histoire de l'art. "Mon histoire avec le jeu vidéo commence relativement jeune, de manière tout à fait classique : c'est mon père qui m'a initié aux jeux vidéo", se remémore-t-il. "J'ai découvert les jeux en le regardant jouer et moi, après, j'ai un peu pris mon indépendance... J'ai passé beaucoup de temps dans mon adolescence au cybercafé". En débutant son cursus d'histoire de l'art, sur les bancs de l'Ecole du Louvre, l'étudiant ignore encore qu'il va y trouver un lien avec les jeux vidéo : "La généalogie du projet, je dirais que ça remonte au moment où j'étais en cursus d'histoire de l'art durant mes études, et que je jouais à Tomb Raider Anniversary.  Et dedans, j'ai découvert des citations d'œuvres... J'ai notamment été frappé de trouver une stèle égyptienne, la stèle de Séthi Ier, qui est conservée au musée du Louvre et que je connaissais pour l'avoir étudiée en cours et pour l'avoir vue au musée. Ça a vraiment été l'élément déclencheur, de me dire "tiens, il peut y avoir des œuvres d'art dans des jeux"." Avant même de lancer Every Game A Museum, Jean Jouberton a d'ailleurs été vidéaste, et a créé la chaîne Youtube, "Homo Ludens", dont le nom est une référence à l'ouvrage Homo ludens : Essai sur la fonction sociale du jeu, de l'historien Johan Huizinga. Sa première vidéo, parue en 2018, est ainsi intitulée "Peinture et jeux vidéo". La symbolique des œuvres d'art Il faut dire que, des Danseuses Ukrainiennes d'Edgar Degas dans le jeu Splinter Cell à Les Forces du Mal de Gustav Klimt dans The Last Express, les représentations de peintures ne manquent pas dans ces univers virtuels. Pour Jean Jouberton, le déclic s'est cependant fait lors d'une partie du jeu vidéo The Walking Dead : "c'est là que je me suis vraiment dit que la peinture peut avoir une signification, une portée à l'intérieur d'un univers de jeu dans un récit vidéoludique". Ce jeu narratif en plusieurs épisodes place le joueur dans un monde apocalyptique en pleine invasion zombie : "un petit groupe de survivants dont notre héros fait partie est hébergé par une famille qui ont l'air très accueillants au premier abord... et qui en fait se révèlent être cannibales", décrit Jean Jouberton. "Dans la pièce adjacente on découvre un de nos compagnons, qui s'est fait couper les jambe

(01:26) Een historisch moment, afgelopen donderdag, in de relatie tussen Frankrijk en haar voormalige kolonies in West-Afrika: Frankrijk voltooide de militaire terugtrekking uit Senegal. Daarmee is na 65 jaar een einde gekomen aan de permanente militaire aanwezigheid van Frankrijk in West-Afrika. Waarom zijn ze weg. En minstens zo interessant: Hoe kan het dat ze zo lang zijn gebleven? We vragen het aan oud-diplomaat en schrijfster Mirjam Tjassing. (14:33) Over historische boeken die ons het heden beter doen begrijpen. Welke echo's uit het verleden schudden ons wakker, geven houvast of bieden troost? De wereld verandert. Wie het nieuws volgt of gewoon om zich heen kijkt, kan zich verloren voelen. Soms lijkt de wereld van vandaag aan andere wetten te voldoen dan die van gisteren. Maar de spiegel van de geschiedenis kan helpen om het nu te begrijpen.   Daarom vraagt OVT deze zomer in de serie ‘Oude woorden, nieuwe wereld' aan zes schrijvers en denkers welk historisch boek hen helpt de wereld van nu te begrijpen. Deze zes denkers en schrijvers laten hun licht schijnen op de kwesties van nu, met de woorden van toen:  Deze week: Beatrice de Graaf, historica en terrorismeonderzoeker over het boek ‘In de schaduwen van morgen' van Johan Huizinga.

Phil and JF first explored the mysteries of walking back in episode 59. That episode felt like a mere introduction—a tentative first step on a long and winding path. Now, 133 episodes later, they return to the theme as they prepare to lead a six-week course on the art of walking and its affinity with the Weird. This conversation touches on meditative walking, walking as dventure, psychogeography, wilderness mysticism, and more.

Puppies wrestling and mock-biting each other. Toddlers playing hide and seek. Kittens pouncing—repeatedly—on a toy mouse. You've no doubt looked on at scenes like this with amusement. And you've no doubt seen some of those viral videos—of ravens sledding down hills, of bumble bees playing with balls. All these moments make us smile, maybe even giggle. But the scientific questions they raise merit serious attention. Where do we see play in the animal kingdom? Where do we not? What functions does play serve? Do we—and many other creatures—have an elemental need for play? My guest today is Dr. Gordon Burghardt. Gordon is a longtime Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee. For decades now, Gordon has been a pioneer in the study of animal play, with a particular focus on play in reptiles and other animals not usually considered playful. His 2005 book, The Genesis of Animal Play, remains a landmark in the field. Here, Gordon and I talk about the major types of play: locomotor play, object play, and social play. We discuss the five criteria he has proposed for recognizing play across animal taxa. We survey several of the functions of play that have been proposed over the decades, and discuss how—in the end—play doesn't seem to have just one function. We also talk about human play—about what sets it apart, and about the possibility that play lies at the root of many of the capacities and institutions we think of as distinctively, impressively human. Along the way, Gordon and I touch on play in bears, pythons, turtles, fruit flies, and octopuses. We consider play between members of taxonomically distant species. We talk about “self-handicapping”; the surplus resource theory of play; the importance of "risky play" and "free play"; the immersive quality of play; bodily and vocal play signals in mammals; and whether human play is increasingly endangered.  Without further ado, here's my conversation with Dr. Gordon Burghardt. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode is available here.   Notes and links 3:00 – A news article on the finding of “play-like” behavior in fruit flies.

What if the most profound aspects of human experience—from religious ritual to artistic expression—have their roots in play? In this thought-provoking exploration of serious play, Captain Frodo challenges the false dichotomy between seriousness and importance, revealing how playful engagement offers access to deeper realities than solemn endeavors often can.Drawing on Plato's assertion that "life must be lived as play," we explore how imaginal play allows us to embody different identities and perspectives, transforming how we experience the world. When a child becomes Zorro or a martial artist imagines standing in flowing water, they're not merely pretending—they're accessing genuine transformative experiences that reveal aspects of reality otherwise hidden.The connections between play, ritual, and religion run deeper than most realize. Scholars like Johan Huizinga have shown how ritual creates a "magic circle" where different rules apply—much like the stage creates a space of possibility for performers. This understanding elevates performance art from "mere entertainment" to a profound human activity that creates shared realities and offers new ways of being.For performers, this perspective transforms how we approach our craft. Rather than apologizing for being "just entertainers," we can confidently assert that art forms the axis around which human culture revolves. By taking play seriously—recognizing its power to transform perspectives and access deeper truths—we honor the profound importance of what we do and strengthen our connection with audiences.Whether you're a performer seeking deeper meaning in your work or simply curious about the hidden importance of play in human experience, this episode offers transformative insights that will change how you see both playfulness and purpose.Support the show...Now you can get t-shirts and hoodies with our wonderful logo.

What if our capacity for play is not just a quirk of evolution but a fundamental way we grasp reality? Much like sight reveals color and hearing reveals sound, could play be a sense that unveils essential dimensions of existence otherwise hidden from us?Captain Frodo challenges us to reconsider the nature and value of play beyond its utilitarian functions. While science often explains play through its evolutionary benefits—practice for hunting, social bonding, developing cognitive flexibility—these explanations miss something crucial: the joy of play itself. When we watch a crow repeatedly sliding down a snowy roof on a plastic lid, flying back up only to slide down again, we witness something more than adaptive behavior. We glimpse a consciousness experiencing pleasure in the moment.The episode draws heavily from Johan Huizinga's groundbreaking work "Homo Ludens," exploring how play predates human culture and may well be the foundation from which our entire civilization emerged. Law, war, philosophy, art, religion—all these domains of human achievement might have their roots in playful behavior. If so, dismissing play as unimportant or merely instrumental severely limits our understanding of what makes us human.This perspective reframes our relationship with reality itself. The playful approach to the world isn't an escape from what's real but an engagement with a different facet of it. When we play, we're not just entertaining ourselves—we're accessing a dimension of reality that our purely logical or utilitarian approaches cannot reach. This has profound implications for how we teach, learn, and solve problems.As this episode marks the conclusion of an extended exploration of play, Captain Frodo invites us to recognize ourselves—especially artists, performers, and "misfits"—as the embodiments of homo ludens, the playful human. In our play, we're not just having fun; we're revealing essential truths about reality itself.Support the show...Now you can get t-shirts and hoodies with our wonderful logo.

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning.”Fred Rogers aka Mister Rogers.I talk about Johan Huizinga's book Homo Ludens.he describes play like this:“Play is a free activity standing quite consciously outside 'ordinary' life as being 'not serious,' but at the same time absorbing the player intensely and utterly.”You can't be serious, is this your real job? is one of my pet peeves and an instigator for this whole 30 episode season. I explore it further  in this episode.Child's play is serious.Adult play. what is it?Work and play.

"The Wedge" is a key concept for Phil and JF. When exploring weird phenomena—from artworks to ghosts, and everything in between—one tends to emphasize one or the other "end" of the event. At the thin end of the Wedge, the focus is on subjective experience: how it felt, what it was like, and its personal significance. At the thick end, the emphasis shifts to what actually happened, independent of how it was experienced. Though their roles sometimes switch, Phil generally thinks from the thin end, while JF approaches things from the thick. In this episode, they begin unpacking the implications of the Wedge for making sense of reality's stranger aspects.

En los momentos de crisis generales, sociales y políticas, has dos tipos de lecturas, aquellas que nos dan esperanza y aquellas que hacen una disección de lo que pasa ahora, o en una situación similar. Este libro del holandés Johan Huizinga es del segundo tipo. Lo escribió en el periodo más oscuro posible, entre la primera y segunda Guerra Mundial; fue agudo sobre la crisis espiritual y predijo las terribles dictaduras que venían y sus consecuencias. Es una lectura iluminadora aunque dura.

Vad söker vi i konsten: en spegelbild av världen eller ett redskap att förändra den med? Kulturredaktionens Mårten Arndtzén ser hur aktivism och idealism riskerar att tränga ut leken ur kulturen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad den december 2019. I filmen Shadowlands (1993) finns en scen som aldrig släppt taget om mig. Den amerikanska poeten Joy Gresham är på besök hos sin litterära idol och blivande make, C.S Lewis, i Oxford. Med sig har hon sonen Douglas, en pojke i bokslukaråldern som förtrollats av den brittiske författarens berättelser om det magiska landet Narnia. I den här scenen hittar Lewis pojken på vinden i sitt hus. Han har just sökt igenom ett gammalt klädskåp - precis ett sådant som bildar porten till Narnia i den första boken, Häxan och lejonet. Det här skåpet är förstås bara ett skåp. Och för Douglas, en besvikelse av metafysiska proportioner. Passagen mellan världar är en arketyp med djupa och vitt förgrenade, kulturella rötter. Dess förutsättning är förstås gränsen, den klara åtskillnaden mellan en ordning och en annan. Verklighetens och fantasins, det heligas och det profanas, vardagens och festens. Utan gränsen är också varje form av lek omöjlig. Det slår den nederländske kulturhistorikern Johan Huizinga (1872–1945) fast i sin klassiska essä "Homo ludens", den lekande människan, från 1938: "Arenan, spelbordet, trollkretsen, templet, scenen, filmduken" - ja, till och med domstolen pekar han ut som en lekplats, otänkbar utan sin ram, "avgränsat, inhägnat, heligt område där särskilda regler gäller". Regler som inte tål något tvivel, för då störtar lekvärlden samman. Man kan tänka sig en fotbollsmatch där någon rullar in en andra boll på planen, eller ett schackparti där oenighet uppstår kring vilken regel som helst. Ändå är leken motsatsen till byråkrati. Dess väsen ligger i förmågan att entusiasmera, det roliga är dess mening. Dess första kännetecken är att den är fri, ja t.o.m frihet, skriver Huizinga. Hur går det ihop? Huizinga återger en anekdot, där en far försöker närma sig sin fyraårige son, som sitter på den främsta av en rad stolar och leker tåg. "Pappa", säger pojken "du får inte pussa lokomotivet, för då tror vagnarna att det inte är riktigt". Här finns alltså, redan hos ett litet barn, en ganska avancerad, dubbel blick på världen: pojken vet mycket väl att stolarna inte är tågvagnar. Och samtidigt är de det, så länge lekens rum kan fredas. Gränsen upprätthållas. Jag vet inte om pojken i Shadowlands, Douglas, hade låtit sig tröstas av detta - men ur lekens perspektiv fungerar klädskåpet verkligen som en passage till andra världar, så länge man accepterar att det bara är ett vanligt skåp. Också. Leken är, menar Huizinga, äldre än kulturen. Ja än själva mänskligheten, eftersom även djur leker. Men just den där dubbla blicken tycks gå förlorad i den civilisatoriska utvecklingen, på åtminstone ett av lekens områden: kultens. Inom antropologin finner Huizinga belägg för att den är verksam inom det man på hans tid kallar primitiva kulter. Den gamla tidens tro på andeväsen tycks inte vara helt igenom bokstavlig utan mer likna just leken, med dess dubbla blick på världen. I de moderna, monoteistiska religionerna krymper det förhandlingsutrymmet. Hashem, Allah och Kristus kan inte både finnas och inte. I konsten ser Huizinga också en nedgång, även om den kommer betydligt senare: sedan 1700-talet har konsten "förlorat mer än den vunnit av lekkvalitet", skriver han. Orsaken är inte minst dess allt högre, kulturella status: "Något av dess eviga barnslighet gick förlorat i den självsäkra kännedomen om egna benådade uppgifter". Homo Ludens kommer alltså ut 1938. Året innan har Berthold Brecht för första gången prövat sin "verfremdungseffekt" på scen: det dramaturgiska greppet att slå hål på illusionen och bryta igenom den så kallade fjärde väggen, till exempel genom att skådespelarna vänder sig ut mot salongen och talar direkt till publiken. Det här är bara ett av den konstnärliga modernismens oräkneliga angrepp på gränsen mellan konst och liv. Just den gräns förutan vilken ingen lek, i Huizingas mening, är möjlig. Men så är konsten inte heller någon lek, för Brecht. Inte ens en spegelbild av världen, utan en hammare att forma den med. Så här en dryg mansålder senare tycks det inte längre vara konstnären som håller i hammaren, utan publiken. Det är i varje fall den bild som förmedlas i den tyske konstkritikern Hanno Rauterbergs uppmärksammade essä "Hur fri är konsten? Den nya kulturstriden och liberalismens kris". Som så många gånger förr står striden om konstens frihet, det nya är varifrån attackerna mot den kommer. Inte längre, i första hand, från konservativa opinioner eller klåfingriga makthavare. Utan från de delar av publiken som kan åberopa någon form av utsatthet eller underordning. Rauterbergs essä är uppbyggd kring ett pärlband av exempel på, ofta framgångsrika, censurkrav som rests av eller för ursprungsbefolkningar, afroamerikaner, känsliga studenter, kränkta kvinnor och plågade djur. Upplösningen av gränsen mellan konst och liv har, menar Rauterberg, lett till en förväntan att konsten ska representera livet - men inte som spegel, alltså som det är - utan istället som det borde vara. Konsten blir en kompensatorisk inrättning, museerna ett slags "rena" platser i en smutsig värld. En liknande förväntan kan man se på litteraturen, i debatter kring prestigefulla priser och bokmässor. Liksom på teatern och inom televisionen, när övergreppsanklagade skådespelare ersätts eller klipps bort. Konstens frihet krymper som en följd av förväntningarna på dess förmåga som hammare - utan att livet för den skull verkar låta sig formas i någon större utsträckning. När modernisterna gav sig på gränsen mellan konst och liv var syftet inte alltid så instrumentellt. Tag Marcel Duchamp och hans ready-mades; cykelhjulet, flasktorkaren och urinoaren. Föremål som leker med konstens gräns mot livet, som - snarare än att försöka forma världen i någon bestämd riktning - tycks vilja öppna den för något av konstens frihet. Först efter kriget får de sin ikonstatus som konstbegreppets nemesis - beviset för att allt kan vara konst, att gränsen bara är en konvention. Vilket inte alls verkar ha varit Duchamps avsikt: intervjuad av konstkritikern Pierre Cabanne säger Duchamp att han aldrig avsåg att upphöja cykelhjulet och flasktorkaren till konst. "Det skedde bara i distraktion", säger han, "som förströelse". Den här intervjun görs i mitten av 1960-talet, när Duchamp för länge sedan lagt konsten på hyllan och istället gjort sig en semi-professionell karriär som schackspelare - en verksamhet som till punkt och pricka stämmer in på Johan Huizingas lekbegrepp: tydligt avgränsat från livet och absolut regelstyrt. Det var vad alla trodde - fram till året efter hans död. 1969 invigs det verk Duchamp i hemlighet arbetat på i över två decennier, Étant donnés, på konstmuseet i Philadelphia, USA. För att se det måste man först passera igenom den särskilda sal museet har för Duchamps arbeten; ett slags initiation, där vi träder in i just den här konstnärens speciella värld. Längst in i hörnet öppnar sig salen mot ett litet rum. Det är tomt, men i ena änden avslutat med en kraftig port i trä. Hårt väderbiten, uppenbart uråldrig, tycks den utlova passage till någon helt annan slags plats. Vi kan se den genom två små titthål i dörren: ett märkligt landskap badande i krispigt ljus, och med detaljer som kan oroa eller attrahera eller både och - som en naken kvinnokropp på en bädd av kvistar. Men närmare än så kommer vi inte: dörren saknar handtag. Vi kan förstås slå in den, och tvinga oss in. Men då skulle illusionen brytas, och istället för en värld skulle vi få en konstruktion; istället för ett mysterium: en atrapp. Vi skulle ha brutit mot reglerna, och överskridit gränsen. Och "så snart reglerna sättas åsido", konstaterar Johan Huizinga, "störtar lekvärlden samman. Då är leken förbi". Precis intill titthålen har träet i dörren en annan nyans, kanske är det spår av besökarna? Ett halvt sekels slitage från lekande människor. Mårten Arndtzénmarten.arndtzen@sr.se

Johan Huizinga considerò il gioco come il fondamento della cultura e della vita umana da quando si è organizzata in società. Egli sostenne che il gioco era tra le testimonianze più genuine della creatività. Jean Piaget attribuì̀ al gioco un ruolo rilevante nello sviluppo cognitivo del bambino. Anche Lev Vygotskij insistette sul ruolo determinante del gioco nello sviluppo del fanciullo dal punto di vista cognitivo, emotivo e sociale.Oggi di gioco si parla molto e il tema sta interessando sempre più ampiamente i genitori. In una società in cui i consumi e la tecnologia hanno ampiamente colonizzato anche il mondo dei giochi, la domanda è se sia meglio il gioco libero o quello strutturato. In questa edizione di Laser intervengono sull'argomento pedagogisti e psicologi dell'età evolutiva.

Zonder speelse levenshouding verliezen we beschaving, waarschuwde Johan Huizinga in zijn boek Homo Ludens uit 1938. Spel vraagt om samenwerking, spel is een uitnodiging tot relativeren, spelen is een kenmerk van vrijheid en is alleen al daarom een onontbeerlijk element van een gezonde samenleving. Huizinga zag in zijn tijd - vlak voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog - het tegenovergestelde gebeuren: hang naar sensatiezucht en gemakkelijk te verteren meningen, een gebrek aan humor en onverdraagzaamheid tegenover groepsgenoten. Is er ruimte voor het spel in een samenleving waarin doelmatigheid koning is? Hoe spelen wij? Kunnen we de fluïditeit en dubbelzinnigheid van het spel nog accepteren? Welke rol spelen valsspelers en spelbrekers? En mag je nog spelen met je vijanden? In krap een uur onderzoekt presentator Arnon Grunberg deze vragen met Vlaamse en Nederlandse denkers. Deze aflevering van Het Filosofisch Kwintet is een samenwerking met deBuren die met het festival We zullen doorgaan het twintig-jarige bestaan viert.   Meer over de aflevering en de gasten vind je op onze site (https://www.human.nl/het-filosofisch-kwintet/kijk/overzicht/seizoen-2024/extra-uitzending.html).

Spelen wordt vaak gezien als kinderlijk tijdverdrijf, maar is dit het hele verhaal? In deze aflevering onderzoeken wij de definitie van 'spel', bespreken we het verschil tussen aanvaardbare en onaanvaardbare risico's tijdens het spelen en behandelen wij de taak die ouders en professionals hebben tijdens het begeleiden van spel. Te gast is Jeroen van Dingenen, speltherapeut, pedagoog en als docent verbonden aan Fontys Hogeschool.

In the inaugural episode of the Sophia Lecture Series, Ralston College President Stephen Blackwood and distinguished Cambridge Professor Douglas Hedley explore "The Spirit of Play", delving into the enigmatic nature of play, its historical and philosophical significance, and its intricate connection with human culture and imagination. This discussion highlights that concept's relevance in today's society, its role in fostering a comprehensive understanding of human experience, and its importance in addressing fundamental questions of human existence. By examining the playful foundations of philosophical inquiry and the significance of imagination, this conversation encourages listeners to embrace a richer, more nuanced view of the world, ultimately challenging our understanding of human culture and intellectual pursuits. Douglas Hedley is a distinguished philosopher at the University of Cambridge, celebrated for his extensive research in the philosophy of religion and Platonism. He is the author of multiple influential works on imagination and religious experience.

Thor Rydin joins to talk about his new book, The Works and Times of Johan Huizinga (1872- 1945): Writing History in the Age of Collapse (Amsterdam UP, 2023). This book offers a new perspective on the Dutch cultural historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945), who remains one of the most famous European historians of the twentieth century. Huizinga's lifetime was marked by dramatic transformations of Europe's cultural, religious, geographical and political landscapes: war, modern commercialism, industrialization, industrial urban planning, nationalism and fascism had shattered the truisms, moral codes and expectations with which Huizinga and his generation of well-to-do Europeans grew up. This book examines how these 'experiences of loss' affected and informed Huizinga's works. By centring such experiences rather than matters of character or social roles, the book offers an original image of an iconic historian but also considers him as a window into his times. Most centrally, this book contends that Huizinga's historical works helped to accommodate and give meaning to his own experiences of loss and rupture, thus offering him a way of life in turbulent times.

Most centrally, this book contends that Huizinga's historical works helped to accommodate and give meaning to his own experiences of loss and rupture, thus offering him a way of life in turbulent times.

Thor Rydin joins to talk about his new book, The Works and Times of Johan Huizinga (1872- 1945): Writing History in the Age of Collapse (Amsterdam UP, 2023). This book offers a new perspective on the Dutch cultural historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945), who remains one of the most famous European historians of the twentieth century. Huizinga's lifetime was marked by dramatic transformations of Europe's cultural, religious, geographical and political landscapes: war, modern commercialism, industrialization, industrial urban planning, nationalism and fascism had shattered the truisms, moral codes and expectations with which Huizinga and his generation of well-to-do Europeans grew up.

In culture and the arts, labeling something you don't like (or don't understand) "pretentious" is the easy way out. It's a conversation killer, implying that any dialogue is pointless, and those who disagree are merely duped by what you've cleverly discerned as a charade. It's akin to cynically revealing that a magic show is all smoke and mirrors—as if creative vision doesn't necessitate a leap of faith. In this episode, Phil and JF explore the nuances of pretentiousness, distinguishing between its fruitful and hollow forms. They argue that the real gamble, and inherent value, of daring to pretend lies in recognizing that imagination is an active contributor to, rather than a detractor from, reality.

去年秋天在纽约见到旅居欧洲的游戏编辑、策展人杨静时，我俩意外地找到了一个共同话题：25年前的电脑游戏，明星志愿2。 这款1998年大宇资讯制作发行的养成游戏里，玩家扮演初出茅庐的新人方若绮，在虚拟的台湾演艺圈从零开始：可以当群众演员，餐厅驻唱，接不同的通告，主演电视和电影，甚至能成为影视歌三栖天后。这款游戏在当年颇具影响力，但如今的品牌和玩法都日渐式微。 杨静说，你是我见过第一个玩这款游戏的男生。 我说，你是二十年来第一个和我聊这款游戏的活人。 两个生活背景大不相同的异乡人，讶异地发现大家在游戏的维度上，我们共享了另一条清晰的成长脉络：少年时都曾在混乱无序的早期中文游戏世界摸索，也都因官媒的「电子海洛因」污名受到家庭的阻挠与压力；成年后，我们也同步见证了「电子游戏」在产业化后的变形与异化，以及相关从业者——和许多内容创作者一样——陷入的无助与疲劳。 这期的行星酒馆，在农历新年即将到来之际，我们顺着这个脉络放肆地聊了一场。是私人的游戏史，是时代的横截面，也是人到30岁之后突然的一个大写的坦然：原来有游戏的陪伴，早就是生命里无法割舍的一部分了。 （02:08）童年的游戏梦想与成年的工作现实 （04:21）误打误撞进入游戏产业？ （08:23）荒芜的寄宿学校与厚厚的游戏杂志 （17:43）娱乐和学习，其实一线之间 （23:47）家长的控制欲，需要游戏这个「恶棍」 （28:46）也许和爸妈斗智斗勇，也是一个游戏？ （37:41）在游戏世界的规则里，设定新的规则 （41:56）进入游戏产业后，对游戏看法的改变 （48:39）游戏工业化，一个产业/时代的变迁 （58:51）独立游戏越做越小，越做越私人 （01:02:52）面对新游戏，你电子阳痿了吗？ （01:10:16）环境在变迁，如何保持对游戏的热爱？ （01:14:50）游戏机制就是人生的一部分 讨论中提到的书： Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture by Johan Huizinga (游戏的人) https://www.amazon.com/Homo-Ludens-Study-Play-Element-Culture/dp/1621389995 Meta Gaming https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/metagaming ｜在Instagram上关注我们，获取更多节目资讯与视频片段：https://instagram.com/planet.speakeasy ｜也可以关注行星酒馆YouTube频道收听播客：https://youtube.com/@Planet.Speakeasy ｜与主播、嘉宾分享感兴趣的话题与感想，可ins私信或电邮 planet.speakeasy@gmail.com | 海外用户可在Patreon支持行星酒馆：https://www.patreon.com/planetspeakeasy | 海内用户可在爱发电支持行星酒馆：https://www.afdian.net/a/planetspeakeasy

Napoleon maakte goede sier met zijn exotische lijfwacht Roestam de Mammeluk. Maar wie was deze schildwacht die 's nachts op een kleedje voor het bed van de keizer lag? Zijn biograaf Jos Gabriëls schuift aan om verhaal te vertellen van Napoleon en zijn favoriete lijfknecht.Het Tokio Tribunaal was een rechtspraak van de overwinnaars en vanaf het begin omstreden in Azië. Wie waren de Amerikanen en andere westerlingen om Japan moreel de les te lezen, vroegen veel betrokkenen zich af. Anne-Lot Hoek bespreekt Het Tokio Tribunaal, een opzienbarend boek van Gary J. Bass over Aziatische tegenhanger van Neurenberg.Johan Huizinga, Nederlands beroemdste historicus, is vooral bekend van zijn klassieker Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen. Een van zijn andere boeken, Homo Ludens, gaat over de spelende mens. Het was een waarschuwing tegen de vervlakkende tijdsgeest en een treurzang over een voorgoed vergane wereld. Pieter van Os beveelt de eerste dertig bladzijden van harte aan.

Homo Ludens Paying is an activity that goes way beyond mere fun and entertainment—it is an essential element of human interaction. Through play, we learn, grow, and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and one another. In his book "Homo Ludens," Dutch historian Johan Huizinga delves into the significant role of play in shaping culture. He describes it as a free yet meaningful activity that occurs within a specific space and time he refers to as the "Magic Circle"—a place that is separated from the seriousness of our daily lives and where imagination is allowed to turn into reality. For the second edition of Sala Galore, we would like to create such a sphere in collaboration with you. Tonight, we invite you to join us in co-creating the evening's atmosphere through play and experimentation. Our walls are interactive canvases, projectors act as your brushes, and the items and ingredients in this room serve as your palette. We encourage you to explore, experiment, mix different elements, place them on the projectors, and observe how they transform the space and its ambiance. Sala Galore is a platform dedicated to building a creative community and nurturing collaboration. This is an open invitation to our inaugural collective creation. So, pick up some items, and let's play.

Gast: Caro Verbeek, kunsthistoricus. Deze week spreekt Robert van Altena met Caro Verbeek over geur en reuk in de beeldende kunst.* Caro Verbeek heeft de afgelopen jaren het geurgebruik bestudeerd in het werk van Filippo Marinetti en de andere futuristen. Op dit onderzoek ‘Ruiken aan de tijd. De olfactorische dimensie van het futurisme (1909-1942)' is Verbeek onlangs gepromoveerd. In Springvossen is er in honderden uitzendingen nog niet eerder aandacht besteed aan geur in de kunst. Wellicht is dat exemplarisch voor een algemenere veronachtzaming. Er valt veel te leren en te ontdekken over de wereld van de geuren, en daarmee ook over onszelf: over ons ondergewaardeerde reukvermogen en de eveneens ondergewaardeerde rol die het speelt in onze ervaring en waardering van kunst én, zonder enige overdrijving, van de wereld in ruimere zin. Eén aflevering, zo wordt tijdens het gesprek besloten, volstaat dan ook niet. Daarom volgt nog een aflevering met Caro Verbeek waarin we dieper ingaan op haar inzichten over de futuristen. Maar in deze eerste uitzending beweegt het gesprek heen en weer door de tijd: het werk van Job Koelewijn** komt bijv. ter sprake en de gebedsnoot, een 16e eeuws microsculptuur*** maar ook ‘De Neus' een verhaal van de 19e eeuwse schrijver Nikolaj Gogol en historicus Johan Huizinga i.v.m. het verlangen naar een zinnelijke historische ervaring. Zo rakend aan verschillende disciplines in verschillende tijden krijgen we een eerste indruk van een wereld van vervlogen geuren en van de instrumenten waar Verbeek zich van bedient om deze toch te kunnen bestuderen en zelfs met het publiek te delen. Veel geuren uit het verleden zijn daadwerkelijk vervlogen, andere worden ten onrechte als verloren beschouwd, soms gecamoufleerd door bijvoorbeeld een woord dat in ongebruik is geraakt, weer andere geuren laten zich reconstrueren waardoor een deel van het verleden opeens direct ervaren kan worden. Het is geen nieuw inzicht, Spinoza schreef er al over aan het begin van het derde boek van zijn Ethica, maar we doen er goed aan er vaker bij stil te staan; in de wisselwerking tussen de rede, de zintuigen en onze emoties verschuilen wij ons vaak achter de illusie dat we ons hebben onttrokken aan de orde van de natuur maar u en ik, we zijn dierlijker dan we denken. (RvA) *DEZE ZOMER WEKELIJKS EEN KEUZE UIT HET SPRINGVOSSEN ARCHIEF.

Johan Huizinga's definition of “play” reminds me of Octavio Paz's definition of “eroticism” – that it exists for the sake of itself. Which also sounds like something God allegedly said – “I am that I am.” This puts pleasure and play decidedly close to God in my factoring, though, it's true, I've never been too good at maths.  Subscribe to my Substack at lunarviolet.substack.com, check out the other weird shit I do for fun at adultpapers.com or linktr.ee/lunarviolet This is a public episode.

E nossa saga continua! Com algumas dificuldades, mas continua... Nos propusemos a ler esse documento histórico da maior grandeza e dividi-lo em partes. Nosso intuito, como leitores curiosos, é documentar e discutir o mais amplamente possível o que uma obra como esse petardo do historiador holandês Johan Huizinga tem de tão atrativo, quais as cores ele dá para esse período que comumente nos é apresentado como um tempo de trevas e violência. No segundo capítulo da nossa saga fomos do capítulo 8 até o capítulo 15. Toda construção tem seus percalços, não é mesmo? E vocês, querem saber quais cores usar no baile?

Welcome back to the Convivial Society. In this installment, you'll find the audio version of two recent posts: “The Pathologies of the Attention Economy” and “Impoverished Emotional Lives.” I've not combined audio from two separate installments before, but the second is a short “Is this anything?” post, so I thought it would be fine to include it here. (By the way, I realized after the fact that I thoughtlessly mispronounced Herbert Simon's name as Simone. I'm not, however, sufficiently embarrassed to go back and re-record or edit the audio. So there you have it.)If you've been reading over the past few months, you know that I've gone back and forth on how best to deliver the audio version of the essays. I've settled for now on this method, which is to send out a supplement to the text version of the essay. Because not all of you listen to the audio version, I'll include some additional materials (links, resources, etc.) so that this email is not without potential value to those who do not listen to the audio. Farewell Real LifeI noted in a footnote recently that Real Life Magazine had lost its funding and would be shutting down. This is a shame. Real Life consistently published smart and thoughtful essays exploring various dimensions of internet culture. I had the pleasure of writing three pieces for the magazine between 2018 and 2019: ”The Easy Way Out,” “Always On,” and “Personal Panopticons.” I was also pleasantly surprised to encounter essays in the past year or two drawing on the work of Ivan Illich: “Labors of Love” and “Appropriate Measures,” each co-authored by Jackie Brown and Philippe Mesly, as well as “Doctor's Orders” by Aimee Walleston. And at any given time I've usually had a handful of Real Life essays open in tabs waiting to be read or shared. Here are some more recent pieces that are worth your time: “Our Friend the Atom The aesthetics of the Atomic Age helped whitewash the threat of nuclear disaster,” “Hard to See How trauma became synonymous with authenticity,” and “Life's a Glitch The non-apocalypse of Y2K obscures the lessons it has for the present.” LinksThe latest installment in Jon Askonas's ongoing series in The New Atlantis is out from behind the paywall today. In “How Stewart Made Tucker,” Askonas weaves a compelling account of how Jon Stewart prepared the way for Tucker Carlson and others: In his quest to turn real news from the exception into the norm, he pioneered a business model that made it nearly impossible. It's a model of content production and audience catering perfectly suited to monetize alternate realities delivered to fragmented audiences. It tells us what we want to hear and leaves us with the sense that “they” have departed for fantasy worlds while “we” have our heads on straight. Americans finally have what they didn't before. The phony theatrics have been destroyed — and replaced not by an earnest new above-the-fray centrism but a more authentic fanaticism.You can find earlier installments in the series here: Reality — A post-mortem. Reading through the essay, I was struck again and again by how foreign and distant the world of late 90s and early aughts. In any case, the Jon's work in this series is worth your time. Kashmir Hill spent a lot of time in Meta's Horizons to tell us about life in the metaverse: My goal was to visit at every hour of the day and night, all 24 of them at least once, to learn the ebbs and flows of Horizon and to meet the metaverse's earliest adopters. I gave up television, books and a lot of sleep over the past few months to spend dozens of hours as an animated, floating, legless version of myself.I wanted to understand who was currently there and why, and whether the rest of us would ever want to join them. Ian Bogost on smart thermostats and the claims made on their behalf: After looking into the matter, I'm less confused but more distressed: Smart heating and cooling is even more knotted up than I thought. Ultimately, your smart thermostat isn't made to help you. It's there to help others—for reasons that might or might not benefit you directly, or ever.Sun-ha Hong's paper on predictions without futures. From the abstract: … the growing emphasis on prediction as AI's skeleton key to all social problems constitutes what religious studies calls cosmograms: universalizing models that govern how facts and values relate to each other, providing a common and normative point of reference. In a predictive paradigm, social problems are made conceivable only as objects of calculative control—control that can never be fulfilled but that persists as an eternally deferred and recycled horizon. I show how this technofuture is maintained not so much by producing literally accurate predictions of future events but through ritualized demonstrations of predictive time.MiscellanyAs I wrote about the possibility that the structure of online experience might impoverish our emotional lives, I recalled the opening paragraph of the Dutch historian Johan Huizinga's The Waning of the Middle Ages. I can't say that I have a straightforward connection to make between “the passionate intensity of life” Huizinga describes and my own speculations the affective consequences of digital media, but I think there may be something worth getting at. When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness that joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child. Every even, every deed was defined in given and expressive forms and was in accord with the solemnity of a tight, invariable life style. The great events of human life—birth, marriage, death—by virtue of the sacraments, basked in the radiance of divine mystery. But even the lesser events—a journey, labor, a visit—were accompanied by a multitude of blessings, ceremonies, sayings, and conventions. From the perspective of media ecology, the shift to print as the dominant cultural medium is interpreted as having the effect of tempering the emotional intensity of oral culture and tending instead toward an ironizing effect as it generates a distance between an emotion and its experssion. Digital media curiously scrambles these dynamics by generating an instantaneity of delivery that mimics the immediacy of physical presence. In 2019, I wrote in The New Atlantis about how digital media scrambles the pscyhodynamics (Walter Ong's phrase) of orality and literacy in often unhelpful ways: “The Inescapable Town Square.” Here's a bit from that piece: The result is that we combine the weaknesses of each medium while losing their strengths. We are thrust once more into a live, immediate, and active communicative context — the moment regains its heat — but we remain without the non-verbal cues that sustain meaning-making in such contexts. We lose whatever moderating influence the full presence of another human being before us might cast on the passions the moment engendered. This not-altogether-present and not-altogether-absent audience encourages a kind of performative pugilism.To my knowledge, Ivan Illich never met nor corresponded with Hannah Arendt. However, in my efforts to “break bread with the dead,” as Auden once put it, they're often seated together at the table. In a similarly convivial spirit, here is an excerpt from a recent book by Alissa Wilkinson: I learn from Hannah Arendt that a feast is only possible among friends, or people whose hearts are open to becoming friends. Or you could put it another way: any meal can become a feast when shared with friends engaged in the activity of thinking their way through the world and loving it together. A mere meal is a necessity for life, a fact of being human. But it is transformed into something much more important, something vital to the life of the world, when the people who share the table are engaging in the practices of love and of thinking.Finally, here's a paragraph from Jacques Ellul's Propaganda recently highlighted by Jeffrey Bilbro: In individualist theory the individual has eminent value, man himself is the master of his life; in individualist reality each human being is subject to innumerable forces and influences, and is not at all master of his own life. As long as solidly constituted groups exist, those who are integrated into them are subject to them. But at the same time they are protected by them against such external influences as propaganda. An individual can be influenced by forces such as propaganda only when he is cut off from membership in local groups. Because such groups are organic and have a well-structured material, spiritual, and emotional life, they are not easily penetrated by propaganda.Cheers!

“First and foremost, then, all play is a voluntary activity. Play to order is no longer play: it could at best be but a forcible imitation of it. By the quality alone, play marks itself off from the course of the natural process. It is something added thereto and spread out over it like a flowering, an ornament, a garment.” These words from Johan Huizinga's “Homo Ludens” raise a question: if play to order is no longer play, but at best a forcible imitation of it, at what point does the expectation and planning for a roleplaying game cause that roleplaying game to stop being playful?Links:The Alexandrian » Game Structures – Part 5: Mysteries: thealexandrian.net/wordpress/15151/roleplaying-games/game-structures-part-5-mysteriesGaming From The First Age "Emergent Campaigns": anchor.fm/first-age/episodes/Emergent-Campaigns-e1fvt89Thanks to Evil Jeff and Jason C for the call-ins!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message: speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon: patreon.com/rpgrescue Email: hello@rpgrescue.comBlog: roleplayrescue.com MeWe Group: mewe.com/join/roleplayrescue (or search "Roleplay Rescue")Twitter: @ubiquitousratRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore: Tale of The Manticore, a Dark Fantasy Dungeons & Dragons Audiodrama (podbean.com) or https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What is play? What are its functions and why do so merrily do it? One of the most influential books to address these questions is Homo Ludens by the Dutch cultural historian Johan Huizinga. In our brand new reading circle, we discuss the first section of Huizinga's renowned engagement with the intricacies of play. Later on, we discuss and analyze one of the most prominent PS5 games at the moment: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Support us on Patreon!
