Robert Cooksey and Dan Nanni’s Faculty Favorite: Homo Ludens
Posted by brimeyer on February 18, 2009
A new recommendation from some of the Game Art and Design faculty!
Homo Ludens by Johan Huizinga
“… A canon classic and one of the first texts to seriously question how play and fun are non-trivial parts of our lives.” -Robert Cooksey
The faculty favorite series highlights faculty-recommended books, magazines, annuals, databases, DVDs, and more in the Ringling College Library.

You might like the Hesse “Glass Bead Game”…was Hermann Hesse’s last work/ publlished in 1943…he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. It’s also “Magister Ludi” or “master of the game”….brilliant idea of an artistic/conceptual game expressed by music.
