Summary:
Il presente volume prende le mosse dalla riflessione scientifica svolta da un gruppo di ricerca dell'Università degli Studi di Milano che, riunitosi quasi 'per gioco' nel 2009, è andato negli anni non solo ingrandendosi, ma anche consolidandosi nel panorama internazionale degli interessi scientifici sul valore storico, sociale e culturale delle attività e dei manufatti ludici. Più specificatamente, il volume miscellaneo qui proposto si lega al progetto LALLACT - Lexicon of Ancient Ludonims. Ludic Activities and Cultural Tradition, il cui obiettivo, ambizioso, è la creazione di un prototipo di Lexicon digitale del gioco, a partire da due voci 'pilota', rispettivamente il gioco della trottola e della mosca cieca. I saggi raccolti costituiscono l'esito, prezioso e a tratti inatteso, di una proficua discussione multidisciplinare sui temi indicati.
This volume presents the results of a research project carried out by a team at the University of Milan. Since meeting almost 'for fun' in 2009, this team has grown over the years, and has now a place in international research on the value of playful activities and artifacts. More precisely, this publication is associated with the LALLACT project (Lexicon of Ancient Ludonims, Ludic Activities, and Cultural Tradition), which is dedicated to creating a digital Lexicon of games, starting with the spinning top and blind man's buff. The collected essays represent the outcome of a fruitful interdisciplinary discussion on these two games. More specifically, the miscellaneous volume proposed here is linked to the LALLACT project - Lexicon of Ancient Ludonims project. Ludic Activities and Cultural Tradition, whose ambitious goal is the creation of a prototype of a digital Lexicon of the game, starting from two 'pilot' voices, respectively the game of the spinning top and blind man's buff. The collected essays constitute the outcome, precious and at times unexpected, of a fruitful multidisciplinary discussion on the topics indicated.
