Caillois visual aid assignment
That's Caillois in the picture above.
Read Huizinga first, Caillois second. Your assignment is to create a visual schema or diagram for Caillois's categories of play. The diagram/schema you make should demonstrate that you have considered carefully the relationship of each of these categories (agon, alea, mimicry, and ilinx) to the terms “paidia” and “ludus.” The visual aid is due in class next week. It should be visually dynamic and well designed. It should be something that clarifies (rather than complicates) the relationships between Caillois’ terms. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
