"There's nothing really fun about the park in winter!" - Christina
Ergler is the first one to explore why "play" resonates differently
across urban localities and seasons. She draws on Bourdieu's theory
of practice and Gibson's affordance theory to show that
determinants of seasonal outdoor play transcend modifiable barriers
such as traffic and unsuitable play spaces as well as the
inevitable issue of inclement weather. In contrast, seasonal play
determinants are grounded in locally constituted beliefs about what
is seasonally "appropriate" children's activity. To foster a
healthier and more sustainable life for children, outdoor play
needs to become convenient all-year-round in all locations.
