Little Tinkers: Creativity and Bricolage in Children's Play
(Barnaleikir: Sköpun og umsköpun á skjánum og á skólalóðinni)

Fyrirlesari:
Julia Bishop, University of Sheffield

Ágrip:
This talk will describe recent interdisciplinary research in the UK on
children’s play. Drawing on both archival sources and multimodal analysis of recent fieldwork, it considers continuity and change, highlighting how children's digital practices (often characterised as a negative force) are impacting on play in offline spaces and vice versa. The paper also suggests areas for further research, such as intergenerational transmission and knowledge exchange among children of different ages, and children and adults, and explores their potential for 'immersive history' experiencesand digital literacy in 'makerspaces'.
