Folter, Spiel/en und die Schwarze Erfahrung

Author(s): Trammell, Aaron

Abstract

This essay considers how the experience of Black folk descended from slaves in North America helps us to rethink a definition of play that has been largely informed by scholars and philosophers working within a White European tradition. This tradition reads play in a mostly positive sense, asserting that certain practices, namely torture, are taboo and cannot be play. The essay argues that this approach to play is shortsighted and linked to a troubling global discourse that renders the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) invisible.
