Play in the Age of Goethe
We are inundated with game play today. Digital devices offer opportunities to play almost anywhere and anytime. No matter our age, gender, social, cultural, or educational background—we play. Play in the Age of Goethe: Theories, Narratives, and Practices of Play around 1800 is the first book-length work to explore how the modern discourse of play was first shaped during this pivotal period (approximately 1770-1830). The eleven chapters illuminate critical developments in the philosophy, pedagogy, psychology, politics, and poetics of playas evident in the work of major authors of the period including Lessing, Goethe, Kant, Schiller, Pestalozzi, Jacobi, Tieck, Jean Paul, Schleiermacher, and Fröbel.While drawing on more recent theories of play by thinkers such as Jean Piaget, Donald Winnicott,Jost Trier, Gregory Bateson, Jacques Derrida, Thomas Henricks, and Patrick Jagoda, the volume showsthe debates around play in German letters of this period to be far richer and more complex than previously thought, as well as more relevant for our current engagement with play. Indeed, modern debates about what constitutes good rather than bad practices of play can be traced to these foundational discourses.Published by Bucknell University Press.

There has been several clear and conclusive proofs that there has been a manipulation of the authorship of the article. The accepted Word document was sent with the names of the authors that appeared in the “Corrections for the edition” message so that they could only make the orthographical corrections that were necessary. The corresponding author (or whoever hurt him) changed the authors of the aforementioned Word document that was sent to them, returning a document together with these corrections made with new authors, all without any express notification, without any document explaining the changes made accepted by all the authors and, of course, without express authorization from the journal Retos between both moments.

The Tudor Play of Mind
Contrary to the widespread assumption that Elizabethan drama grows
out of an essentially homiletic tradition, The Tudor Play of
Mind proposes that many important plays-including such diverse
works as Gorboduc, Endimion, Tamburlaine, The Spanish Tragedy,
Every Man in His Humour, and Bussy D'Ambois -are
informed by the ancient rhetorical tradition of posing questions
and arguing them in utramque partem emphasized in humanist
education. This accounts for the complex and often ambivalent
responses they demand. In support of this thesis, Joel B. Altman
shows how abstract debate questions were developed into
increasingly subtle mimetic fictions in the sixteenth century. He
discusses the significance of this process for the drama through
detailed analyses of early debate plays, the Terentian commentaries
and English comedy, Lyly's court allegories, Senecan tragedy, and
the experimental plays of Marlowe. Altman's argument that Tudor
playwrights offered their audiences dramatized inquiries will
profoundly affect our interpretation of individual plays and our
assessment of the larger cultural function of drama in the period.
