"Homo Ludens" adalah istilah yang pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh seorang ahli sejarah, Johan Huizinga, dalam bukunya yang berjudul "Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play Element in Culture" yang diterbitkan pada tahun 1938. Istilah ini mengacu pada ide bahwa manusia adalah makhluk yang bermain. Dalam konteks ini, "ludens" berasal dari bahasa Latin yang berarti "bermain." Konsep "Homo Ludens" mengusulkan bahwa bermain adalah karakteristik yang mendasari dalam budaya dan sifat manusia. Huizinga berpendapat bahwa permainan atau aktivitas bermain tidak hanya merupakan hiburan, tetapi juga merupakan cara yang penting untuk menyampaikan makna, membangun struktur sosial, dan mengintegrasikan individu dalam masyarakat. Dalam pemahaman "Homo Ludens," bermain tidak hanya terbatas pada permainan fisik atau hiburan semata. Ini juga mencakup aktivitas kreatif, seperti seni, sastra, dan musik, yang semuanya dapat dilihat sebagai bentuk permainan. Konsep ini menunjukkan bahwa unsur bermain adalah bagian integral dari kebudayaan dan sifat manusia yang membantu dalam pemahaman lebih dalam tentang interaksi sosial, eksplorasi ide, dan pengembangan budaya.

Encouraging neighbourhood social mix has been a major goal of urban policy and planning in a number of different countries. This book draws together a range of case studies by international experts to assess the impacts of social mix policies and the degree to which they might represent gentrification by stealth. The contributions consider the range of social mix initiatives in different countries across the globe and their relationship to wider social, economic and urban change. The book combines understandings of social mix from the perspectives of researchers, policy makers and planners and the residents of the communities themselves. Mixed Communities also draws out more general lessons from these international comparisons - theoretically, empirically and for urban policy. It will be highly relevant for urban researchers and students, policy makers and practitioners alike.
During the last few decades, most cultural critics have come to agree that the division between "high" and "low" art is an artificial one, that Beethoven's Ninth and "Blue Suede Shoes" are equally valuable as cultural texts. In Who Needs Classical Music?, Julian Johnson challenges these assumptions about the relativism of cultural judgements. The author maintains that music is more than just "a matter of taste": while some music provides entertainment, or serves as background noise, other music claims to function as art. This book considers the value of classical music in contemporary society, arguing that it remains distinctive because it works in quite different ways to most of the other music that surrounds us. This intellectually sophisticated yet accessible book offers a new and balanced defense of the specific values of classical music in contemporary culture. Who Needs Classical Music? will stimulate readers to reflect on their own investment (or lack of it) in music and art of all kinds.
