Ducharme and Gary Alan Fine -- Play and linking trajectories for social origins of cognition / James G. Deegan and Anthony D. Pellegrini --Redefining the ludic : mimesis, expression, and the festival mode / Michael J.C. Echeruo -- Nonsense and metacommunication : reflections on Lewis Carroll / Gabriele Schwab -- Power and play in the Orlando Furioso / Giuseppe Mazzotta -- Dissimulation on display : the feint of power in Campanella's Scelta / Thomas Cerbu -- Orpheus : nature and psyche : from allegory to symbol in Titian, Rubens, and Poussin / Angel Medina and Joyce Medina -- Body-Bildung in German classicism / Susan Derwin.
"The book covers extraordinary ground in literature, the arts, philosophy, and even the social sciences. The concern about the issue of self and the representations of self brings far-reaching ideas together in the most surprising and mutually illuminating ways. Poststructuralist and postmodernist critiques of self-identity have made the topic controversial and broadly relevant to all the fields represented. Extreme statements abound on both sides of the argument, and this book succeeds in marshaling subtle and nuanced thought on the topic. Each essay is neatly self-contained, remarkably relevant to other essays in the collection, and a model of illuminating argument, careful scholarship, and attractive writing."--Book cover.
