Synopsis

Based on original qualitative research, and analysis of contemporary media from Canada and elsewhere, this book explores how play has become goal-oriented, a means to health ends, and how the management of pleasure in play and diverse risk discourses limit possibilities for children and families to play freely.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Stephanie A. Alexander is Post-doctoral Fellow at the Collège d'études mondiales in Paris, France in the Chair Anthropology and Global Health. Her research involves critical examinations of interventions on children's play and physical activity to analyse how play may be reshaped when it is promoted for health purposes. Her current research examines questions about the globalisation of concepts such as 'active play' and of assumptions about childhood and health that underlie physical activity interventions.

Caroline Fusco is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto, Canada. She favours poststructuralist, feminist and cultural geography theories and her work is grounded in the pursuit of ethical relations, equity and social justice.
