Playful Materialities by Benjamin Beil Book PDF Summary

Game culture and material culture have always been closely linked. Analog forms of rule-based play (ludus) would hardly be conceivable without dice, cards, and game boards. In the act of free play (paidia), children as well as adults transform simple objects into multifaceted toys in an almost magical way.

They are also subject to material hybridization, paratextual framing, and processes of de-, and re-materialization.
