How they played Children construction

项目摘要

The project aims to examine and analyse construction sets from the perspective of users, i.e. children, from the middle of the 19th century until the Second World War. Construction sets have been devised and developed by adults as educational tools for children; they have been designed to shape the future through specific play activities. The role of construction sets has been oscillating between their pedagogical and their entertaining functions, with variations in different time periods depending on dominant mentalities and other socio-technical factors. The intentions of adults (parents, educators, designers, producers, retailers) in this process will be juxtaposed with the so far neglected and under-researched perspective of children. The proposed project will illuminate children's relationship with construction sets, by studying their reactions and attitudes vis-à-vis such adult intentions. The project is expected to contribute to the understanding of childhood and technology-inspired play. This is a crucial subject for our societies and their future, as technology-based play is nowadays a predominant element of childhood leisure, entertainment, and education. The technical nature of construction sets lies in the heart of the proposed investigation and sets the framework for the historical analysis. The main research questions are whether children's play practices conformed to or contradicted adult ambitions and expectations, in what ways this was realised, and what were the consequences. The proposed project is situated on the intersection of the history of technology, design history and the history of play.

该项目的目的是从使用者的角度，即儿童的角度，审查和分析从世纪中期到第二次世界大战的建筑集。构装玩具是由成年人设计和开发的，作为儿童的教育工具;构装玩具旨在通过特定的游戏活动塑造未来。建筑布景的作用一直在它们的教学功能和娱乐功能之间摇摆不定，在不同的时期会因主导心态和其他社会技术因素而有所不同。在这一过程中，成人（父母、教育工作者、设计师、生产商、零售商）的意图将与迄今为止被忽视和研究不足的儿童视角并列。拟议的项目将通过研究儿童对这种成人意图的反应和态度，阐明儿童与建筑集的关系。该项目预计将有助于理解童年和技术启发的游戏。这对我们的社会及其未来来说是一个至关重要的主题，因为基于技术的游戏是当今儿童休闲，娱乐和教育的主要因素。建筑集的技术性质是拟议调查的核心，并为历史分析设定了框架。主要的研究问题是儿童的游戏实践是否符合或违背成人的抱负和期望，以何种方式实现，以及后果是什么。该项目位于技术史、设计史和游戏史的交汇处。
