Social inconsistencies and symbolic types in play
pp. 111-138
Abstract
Playing-at-a-theme as the interactional mode of solving social inconsistencies has to be analysed more carefully. For two important social phenomena, anomie and alienation, seem to be related to typificatory processes and especially to the arisal of symbolic types. Three sociological characteristics of play can be distinguished.
