Autoři z Pražské skupiny školní etnografie se věnují pojmu hry, dětské hry, poté dětským skupinovým hrám na sbírce 1600 záznamů od 1. do 9. třídy. Dvacet let poté, co Miloš Zapletal publikoval monumentální Velkou encyklopedii her pro děti, mládež a jejich pedagogy, se zde prezentuje bez didaktického záměru sbírka tzv. her tradičních, folklorních, které školní děti reálně hrály v letech 1995-2000. Tyto „games“ jsou tříděny jednak na 1. honičky, 2. chytačky, 3. schovky, 4. lovy, 5. závody, 6. souboje, 7. výdrže, 7*. školky, 8. bravuru, 8*. lekačky, 9. hádanky, 10. horory, 11. nápodoby, 12. trefování a 13. gender, jednak představeny jako 1. dotknout se, 2. v dotyku na tělo, 3. vrh objektu - s dotykem na tělo, 4. vrh objektem - na dráze, 5. běh - s dotykem na tělo, 6. běh - na dráze, 7. kompozice pohybu - žonglování a rytmika, 8. kompozice objektu, 9. hádání, 10. fiktivní identity a příběhy. Na závěr se probírá možnost v budoucnu kombinovat v klasifikaci her poetiku pudů (orálního, análního, zíracího aj.) s problematikou vztahů (oidipských či od nich odvozených, jako soutěž, „šikana“, různé „demokratické“ distribuce). Kniha obsahuje CD s rejstříky pro vyhledávání her ve full-textu sbírky, přístupném na internetu.

"Social, casual and mobile games, played on devices such as smartphones, tablets, or PCs and accessed through online social networks, have become extremely popular, and are changing the ways in which games are designed, understood, and played. These games have sparked a revolution as more people from a broader demographic than ever play games, shifting the stereotype of gaming away from that of hardcore, dedicated play to that of activities that fit into everyday life. Social, Casual and Mobile Games explores the rapidly changing gaming landscape and discusses the ludic, methodological, theoretical, economic, social and cultural challenges that these changes invoke. With chapters discussing locative games, the new freemium economic model, and gamer demographics, as well as close studies of specific games (including Candy Crush Saga, Angry Birds, and Ingress), this collection offers an insight into the changing nature of games and the impact that mobile media is having upon individuals and societies around the world."-- "The first collection dedicated to analysing the casual, social, and mobile gaming movements that are changing games the world over"--

Of all aspects of Roman culture, the gladiatorial contests for which the Romans built their amphitheatres are at once the most fascinating and the most difficult for us to come to terms with. They have been seen variously as sacrifices to the gods or, at funerals, to the souls of the deceased; as a mechanism for introducing young Romans to the horrors of fighting; and as a direct substitute for warfare after the imposition of peace.In this original and authoritative study, Thomas Wiedemann argues that gladiators were part of the mythical struggle of order and civilisation against the force

This is a comprehensive study and erudite description of the struggle of African Indigenous Knowledge Systems in an Age of Globalization, using in particular eighty-four childrens traditional games in south-eastern Zimbabwe. The book is an informative and interesting anthropological account of rare African childrens games at the risk of disappearing under globalization. The virtue of the book does not only lie in its modest philosophical questioning of those knowledge forms that consider themselves as superior to others, but in its laudable, healthy appreciation of the creative art forms of traditional literature that features in genres such as endangered childrens traditional games. The book is a clarion call to Africans and the world beyond to come to the rescue of relegated and marginalized African creativity in the interest of future generations.

The result of a unique research project exploring the relationship between children's vernacular play cultures and their media-based play, this collection challenges two popular misconceptions about children's play: that it is depleted or even dying out and that it is threatened by contemporary media such as television and computer games. A key element in the research was the digitization and analysis of Iona and Peter Opie's sound recordings of children's playground and street games from the 1970s and 1980s. This framed and enabled the research team's studies both of the Opies' documents of mid-twentieth-century play culture and, through a two-year ethnographic study of play and games in two primary school playgrounds, contemporary children's play cultures. In addition the research included the use of a prototype computer game to capture playground games and the making of a documentary film. Drawing on this extraordinary data set, the volume poses three questions: What do these hitherto unseen sources reveal about the games, songs and rhymes the Opies and others collected in the mid-twentieth century? What has happened to these vernacular forms? How are the forms of vernacular play that are transmitted in playgrounds, homes and streets transfigured in the new media age? In addressing these questions, the contributors reflect on the changing face of childhood in the twenty-first century - in relation to questions of gender and power and with attention to the children's own participation in producing the ethnographic record of their lives.
