Abstract

How can we interpret that culture was born in play? What do we mean by the idea that culture has been played from the beginning? How has play served a culture-creating function since early societies? What role do holidays, rites, and myths play in creating the connective structure of culture and preserving cultural memory? What did this sanctified space and time mean to humanity? How and why did humans replay the act of creating their cosmos and their community’s mythical past in sanctified time and space? How are ceremonial communication channels the most ancient form of knowledge transfer, and what is the role of play in this? This study explores the answers to these questions.
