This book explores the complex and multi-layered relationships between democracy and play, presenting important new theoretical and empirical research. It builds new paradigmatic bridges between philosophical enquiry and fields of application across the arts, political activism, childrenâs play, education and political science.
The book features chapters written by authors from different research backgrounds, who present the findings of a previously published âclassicâ study rewritten in the form of a story. Reflective chapters focusing on the how-to and the challenges of this practice complete the work, to support scholars in developing their creative skills.
