PLAY OR NOTHING

Text topic: Forty Years of Kultura Journal

Key words:
  • Art
  • culture

Text author: Ratko Božović

Assuming that play is seriously endangered in modern culture, the necessity imposes itself for revalorization of the idea of play as an unavoidable value of culture. Edgar Morin shows that modern technoeconomic civilization is based on ”reductive understanding” of man. Homo sapiens and Homo faber have an absolute domination and they “determine and over determine” each other. According to him, the idea of homo excludes all that is demens – dream, passion, myth, all that is ludens – play, pleasure and amusement, and all that is amatro too – a man capable of loving. The fact is that the whole spiritual content of the world can be reproduced in play, proves that play is a foundation and an inavoidable value of culture.
