Playing with Identity? The Interrelationship Between the Right to Play and the Right to Identity
摘要
The right to play is inextricably interrelated with the child’s right to identity (Article 8). Understanding identity in this light foregrounds a child-centred approach which emphasises the playful attitude, playful activity and relationship building as being central to the child’s developing identity. Identity is, at least in part, a subjective, relational and dynamic concept so the proper framework for its development must likewise place importance on the imaginative, experiential and relational aspects of play.
