Abstract

FREITAS, Maria da Glória Feitosa. From the "sing drama" to the dance of the "bundinha": playing is a make-believe essentiall y adult, living in a world which is governed by desire?. Estilos clin. [online]. 2000, vol.5, n.8, pp.134-146. ISSN 1415-7128.

This paper is about the achievements, pit-falls and (im)possibilities experienced by those who dare to make "pit" about children's games. A scientific paper, which starts with the psycho(bio)logy of children's games (pasting from an analysis of Stanley Hall and Karl Groos classic theories on children's games and anticipating affiliations as far as theory goes with certain present positions) and reaches up to psychoanalysis (which defends the position that children's playing constitutes a make-believe essentially adult, possibly being an anticipation of a desire which may be traced through the entire childhood: to be adult and to understand the desire which animates the adult world).

Keywords : Games; children's playing; make-believe; psychology; psychoanalysis.
