Kerbs and curbs, desire and damage: An affirmative account of children's play and being well during the Covid-19 pandemic
A dominant narrative around the impact of COVID-19 on children focuses on the risk of children being the pandemic's biggest victims. Without denying the severity of such damage, this article explores two examples of playing during the pandemic, alongside more affirmative Deleuzian accounts of desire, which can contribute to mitigating both the damage itself and what damage narratives perform. Using two fragments of data from research into childre…

Turning the World Upside Down: Playing as the Deliberate Creation of Uncertainty
Risk is big business. It has assumed almost universal acceptance as an ever-present reality of life, something out there waiting to cause harm (most notably to political, economic and health systems).

No longer something that children just do, it is subject to a…
What is the state of play? The Grasshopper's game replayed
In Aesop’s fable, the industrious ant works hard to stockpile food for the forthcoming winter whereas the improvident grasshopper spends all summer singing and so dies for lack of food when winter comes.

His Grasshopper playfully engages disciples Skepticus an…
‘I get such a feeling out of… those moments’: Playwork, passion, politics and space
This paper offers an analysis of playwork using the triadic spatial analyses of French Marxist philosopher Henri Lefebvre. It explores the way UK playworkers talk about the purpose of their work and how they navigate the dialectics of use and exchange value, control and agency, power and resistance, alienation and authenticity. Part of the dialectic lies in attempts to rationalise activity and the production of space in order to arrive at totalis…
