Concept information

Preferred term

boys' play  

Definition(s)

  • Boys' play has been conceptualized within three main research areas: sex/age differences in gender/maturity-typing of play; play as a gendered site, and thus as a site for the study and critique of young masculinities; and cultural-commercial articulations of play culture(s) as boyhood culture. What constitutes boys' play, or “boyish play” or “games boys play,” therefore invites ethical, clinical, commercial, literary, ethological, and historical-anthropological approaches.
