Prof. Nicolas Whybrow is invited to speak at PLAY, an Interdisciplinary symposium hosted by The Institute of Advanced Studies, University College London
Prof. Nicolas Whybrow is making a contribution to an interdisciplinary symposium on Play and its Potential Publics at the Institute of Advanced Study, UCL on 14th September. The paper is called "Sensing the City: a Road Map".
This symposium will bring together scholars in the social sciences and humanities to ask how the potentials of play can operate in public life. We will consider what the consequences are of extending play beyond any defined or intended limits: how it can become integrated with the everyday, the trivial with the serious, the imaginary with the real, the sacred with the profane.
