Playing Sociology - Theory and Games for Coping With Mimetic Crisis and Social Conflict

"This book speaks of the social sciences and play not as two separate realities but as one intertwined experience: to study human behavior is already to put oneself in the game; it is already part of a great game that humanity have never fully learned. Play is not just an object of study but is also practice and method; in the second part, the authors present five sociological games that can be used as research tools and as training models for schools, companies, and work groups"--
