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 development. In 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 rules. Caillois 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' "Man and the Sacred".

這本一點也不齣名的書其實是承接赫伊津哈(Huizinga)的衣鉢,繼續在play theory方麵下功夫的佳作。 基本上,Caillois在赫伊津哈的基礎上工作。他繼續探索赫老先生從文化視角看待遊戲的理論,既批判赫老先生太看重遊玩/遊戲(play和game之間畢竟有些區彆,我覺得是不是直接翻...

遊戲理論佳作,奠基基本研究framework,值得一讀再讀。
評分很快的速度讀瞭一遍。內容和論點先不說,文筆簡直太流暢瞭,讀著真舒服!。
評分差點被浮誇又文藝的封麵騙瞭,這是一本一本正經的好書~
評分how to play with the structure
評分挺晦澀的一本介紹“play theory”的書,因為作者是法國人加上用瞭很多古拉丁語解釋,所以比較難懂。1.這是Callois接Huizinga(最早定義play)的人的定義提齣的反駁。2.理解Callois在書中對遊戲的分類也需要考慮到當時法國Surrealism的影響。
