Brian Sutton-Smith, Playful Scholar: A Centennial Celebration, Volume 17: Play and Culture Studies

Editat de Michael M. Patte, Fraser Brown, Anna Beresin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mai 2024
This book honors the legacy of Dr. Brian Sutton-Smith, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Folklore at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Sutton-Smith was considered the premier play scholar of his generation, with numerous publications in the fields of developmental psychology, folklore, anthropology, sociology of sport, education, and philosophy. We present an eclectic array of essays written in honor of the centennial of his birth, ranging from the scholarly to the overtly playful. There are essays distilling his work to their key ideas and some that offer a robust and respectful critique. There are personal anecdotes honoring his memory, and original works of fiction celebrating his legacy. The book is a publication in the TASP biannual Play and Culture Studies series and includes photographs of Brian Sutton-Smith, as well as heartfelt appreciation from scores of colleagues.

Recenzii

Written in clear, engaging prose, [this book] highlights Sutton-Smith's ability to navigate playfully multiple disciplinary territories in his thinking, research, and writings about play. It is a worthy contribution to the literature and should appeal to all those interested in the study of play.
