Games, Ludicity, Design, EducationAbstract
This literature review and theoretical essay aims to present discussions about games, playfulness and design through the analysis of three works in these areas, glimpsing their effects in the field of Education. The books in question are Homo Ludens: a study of the play-element in culture, by Johan Huizinga, Man, play and games, by Roger Caillois, and Reality is broken: why games make us better and how they can change the world, by Jane McGonigal. Through a detailed reading of the works in their entirety, it was possible to identify some potentially relevant concepts, namely: paidia, ágon, ludus, agôn, alea, mimicry, ilinx, delegation, flow state, fiero, intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and autotelic activities. Subsequently, the relationship of these concepts with school practices permeated by the use of games in the classroom is verified, corroborating the thesis that the game, as conceived and used by different interlocutors, has functioned as a tool for the constitution of certain types of subjects, aligned with the current neoliberal premises in contemporary society.
