What’s the Opposite of Play?
"遊び"の反義語は"労働"ではない 遊び"の反意語は"抑うつ"である。 "遊び"とは未来のために今の自分を越えようとする意志を含むものであるからだ。 このように考えると"遊ぶ"ことによって自分が何者であるかがわかり、また、そのことで自分が孤立したり犠牲を被ったりしなくなる。 遊ぶこと(演じること)は自分がどのようにコミュニティの一員となるのかということである。 様々なコミュニティの中で、そのコミュニティにおける適確なメンバーとして自分を想像し、創造的に他者を模倣することで、私たちはコミュニティの一員となる。 言い換えれば、私たちはコミュニティのメンバーを演じること(遊ぶこと)によって、やり方を知る前にコミュニティの一部になるのである。 英語の勉強も兼ねて誤訳はきっとたくさんあるけど日本語訳にしてみた。 ホルツマン、言いたいことがわかるようなわからないような… 彼女と対話を始めてついに3年目。
