Playframes – How Do We Know We Are Playing? A Lunchtime Talk with Celia Pearce
September 30, 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Playframes (MIT Press) builds on the work of Gregory Bateson and Erving Goffman to take a deep dive into Bateson’s primary question: How do we know we’re playing? In this book, Celia Pearce addresses this question by building a comprehensive theory of the specific mechanisms that meta-communicate the message “this is play.” Join us for a book talk and discussion about Playframes with author, award-winning game designer, researcher, and professor Celia Pearce!
