Masking the Abject: A Genealogy of Play
Mechthild Nagel
This study traces the beginnings of the malediction of play in western metaphysics. It analyzes how the distinction between the serious and the playful developed, charting play's changing ontological status, and ethical and aesthetic dimensions, from the logocentric to the bacchanalian.
