PAPINI, Pedro Augusto    ISOPPO, Rodrigo Shames. An animal play, politics of imagination. []. , 21, 52, pp.832-837. ISSN 2175-1390.

In this review we present the book "What animals teach us about politics", written by Canadian philosopher Brian Massumi. The author focuses specifically on animal play to weave a rigorous reflection on ethics and esthetics. Showing us the gaps in wolf fighting play and when it ends and becomes real combat. To this end, Massumi weaves a careful web of concepts which we now intend to present their nodal points that lie in the disjunction between performing an act or dramatizing it. A disjunction that in animal or human play is a source of learning and anchoring when it makes a circuit between instinct and politics. A presentation of concepts that mark the interlacing, with a vital playful difference, between instinct and politics, a difference in which lies a potential, a margin of maneuver we call creation.
