Man, Play And Games

According to Roger Caillois play is an occasion of pure waste waste of time energy ingenuity skill and often of money In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual developmentIn this classic study Caillois defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space isolated and protected from the rest of life Play is uncertain since the outcome may not be foreseen and it is governed by rules that provide a level playing field for all participants In its most basic form play consists of finding a response to the opponent's action - or to the play situation - that is free within the limits set by the rulesCaillois qualifies types of games - according to whether competition chance simulation or vertigo (being physically
out of control) is dominant - and ways of playing ranging from the unrestricted improvisation characteristic of children's play to the disciplined pursuit of solutions to gratuitously difficult puzzles Caillois also examines the means by which games become part of daily life and ultimately contribute to various cultures their most characteristic customs and institutions Presented here in Meyer Barash's superb English translation Man Play and Games is a companion volume to Caillois's Man and the Sacred
