Employing a concept of biological naturalism grounded in cognitive theory, this title argues for a clear delineation between the aesthetics of play and the aesthetics of texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Play Redux excels in tying together intellectual traditions that are rooted in literary studies, cognitive science, play studies and several other fields, thereby creating a logical whole. Through this, the book makes service to several academic communities by pointing out their points of contact. This is clearly an important contribution to a growing academic field, and will no doubt become important in many future discussions about digital games and play.\" - Franz Mayra, University of Tampere, Finland\"","brand":"LUP - University of Michigan Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037111091543,"sku":"9780472070923","price":57.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780472070923.jpg?v=1750934471","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/play-redux-9780472070923","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
