Torill writes an interesting post about overlooked forms of feminine playfulness:
"[C]reative playfullness or playful creativity is present in knitting, in cooking, in decorating. Decorating a modern house as if it was a farm house from last century is a role-playing project as serious as the reconstruction/recreation works of live-action role-play gamers: hunting down the perfect pattern for the crochet lampshades in order to give the electric lights that home-spun touch, working on the store-bought furniture for days in order to make it look like it has been used for years, scrubbed with green soap every day and sanded twice a year for generations, camouflaging the television inside a rosepainted cabinet . . . This is a playful make-believe, advanced games of dolls and house." Her post was inspired by Shinyspinning, a compelling-looking research log about women, technology and games. Labels: play
