The Dynamics of Children's Alienated Play.
Varga, Donna
Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v6 n4 p313-25 Feb 1998
Uses alienation as the conceptual framework for analyzing dynamics of preschool children's failed play interactions. Maintains that this perspective centralizes the sociocultural context out of which failed play interactions arise rather than identifying alienation as a problematic behavior. Discusses play episodes in a nursery school setting to illustrate social dynamics of alienated play interactions. (Author)
