On Play and Games

Description

In this set of essays Alejandro De Acosta provokes one to consider all life, from its most minute dust swirls to the grand chaos of planets, a game for which we are invited to be open to as endless play.
An idea is proposed that games and play are not merely something to be affirmed but instead have the power to form the basis for social relations, operating within, producing the rules and board which one is either forced to act within or act against.
The most provocative point comes from acknowledging that when everything can be a game the ability to construct one’s conditions is open to all who play.
