Recognizing play as a feminist act to approaching disobedience and survival, this thesis is planned around the question: Is play a suitable feminist strategy of disruption and protest that is veiled enough to exist within the lines of appropriate behavior for the Qatari woman artist? By highlighting a number of contemporary feminists, artists, and writers where play is evident in their work, including a summary of the examples that Carrie Lambert-Beatty outlines in her essay: "Make-Believe: Parafiction and Plausibility," it will build the necessary image of how context can be approached as a playground. This thesis is structured into four main sections where each section informs the other with an emphasis on three main areas: 1) Cultural Politics, 2) Being a Woman, 3) Womanist Play. Also included, some drawings and writings from one of the artist's projects: Hair Drawing, and Hair and Drawing, a project that is usually misread if not presented with or within the context that it deals with; therefore, being included in this thesis should provide the necessary layer and depth that it needs.

Disrupting the linear by sit(t)ing their writing alongside, the authors site/cite play on/as a Deleuzoguattarian open plane – of immanence – through a play-full exploration of Play. They explore the notion of the back and forth motion between the known and the unknown, between safety and risk; thinking about play as circular hermeneutical movement, where one re-encounters an ever-changing ocean with new understanding, created and enriched by past experiences. Resonating with these ideas, the authors present their own – play-fully, singularly and together – as a double-column juxtaposition, which in itself emerges from and merges with a Deleuzoguattarian plane of immanence, an open space whereby ideas about play and playing are played with. They work to think differently through encounters with/in an ever-changing ocean of outside forces, through flows of ideas within their thinking as they connect with each other and the literature, the ongoing question being: how might we think differently about play?

"In the scientific studies of play and leisure there has been an unfortunate tendency for the enthusiasts of one to ignore the contributions made by their colleagues in the other. This book shows what the two fields have been missing because of this isolation. The new idea of augmentative play enables us to examine how and where play and leisure are often vitally dependent on each other. Augmentative play is a special activity that aids substantially the pursuit of a larger, encompassing leisure activity. This approach to the study of play is unique. It recognizes the hundreds of activities in which play and leisure come together, sometimes to produce deeply fulfilling experiences and outcomes for participants, other times to produce more fleeting enjoyment for them"--

There is a concern that children's ri ght to play is restricted as a resu lt of the governments' narrow focus on school preparatory activities and learning. Play and learning are rights embodied in the United Nations con- vention on the rights of the child. This article discusses how play and learning are organized in the everyday life of a Norwegian toddler group. Critical voi ces claim that there is not enough stru cture and that there should be more teaching and mapping to facilitate earl y intervention in Norwegian kindergar tens. The article suggests that the critics' claim can be countered by as king if there are too few teachers with adequate education and too large groups of children. ; This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
