Lyon 2005Heike Baldauf-Quilliatre / the corporeity of speech 17 Staging corporeity V "The relationship between childhood play and the adult culture which today enervates it can be cast in the form of a conflict between two psychic principles. One of these is the principle which leads children to invest a great deal of passion in an impersonal situation governed by rules, and to think of expression in the situation as a matter of the remaking and the perfecting of those rules to give greater pleasure and promote greater sociability with others. This is play. It conflicts with the principle which has come to govern the state of adult culture [...]" (Sennett 1974/1986, 315)
