In Homo Ludens, historian John Huizinha discussed the social significance of play-element as one of the early cultural phenomena evolving along with human development. He described “play” as a spontaneous activity that is self-imposed and creates binding orders and rules. It is distinct from “ordinary” or “real” life. It is not the opposite of seriousness, but often, a serious pretending, disguise and camouflage.
