Seitz, 2025). While play is widely acknowledged as a means through which children explore the world and construct meaning, and remains a central focus of early childhood education, it receives decreasing attention from primary education onwards, where teaching, learning, and disciplinary knowledge increasingly become dominant. Consequently,\u00a0<i>playfulness<\/i>\u00a0as a pedagogical quality shaping educational relationships also remains underexplored. Drawing on educational sciences and play studies, particularly Masek and Stenros (2021), this talk offers insights\u00a0from a narrative literature review, suggesting\u00a0<i>playfulness<\/i>\u00a0as a framework for envisioning playful educational spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Francesca Berti\u00a0is Junior Researcher at the Faculty of Education, Free University of Bolzano\/Bozen (Italy).

In particular, the early novelists were central figures in these game sessions. Did these games serve as creative catalysts for the novelists? If so, how does the collective dynamic of gameplay relate to the development of novelistic storytelling? This talk will give an introduction to the kinds of games that the salonni\u00e8res played, what impact they had on storytelling experiments in the early novel and how they can be played today.<\/p>\n<p>Karin Kukkonen is Professor in Comparative Literature at the University of Oslo (Norway). She is the author of several monographs, most recently Creativity and Contingency in Literary Writing (Bloomsbury, 2026). Her current research investigates literary games from the early-modern period and their impact on the development of the novel (JEUX, ERC Consolidator, 2024-2028).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/dd>\n\t<dt class=\"simcal-day-label\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;\" ><span style=\"background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"simcal-date-format\" data-date-format=\"d\/m\/Y\">11\/09\/2026<\/span> <\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"simcal-weekday-5 simcal-past simcal-day simcal-day-has-events simcal-day-has-1-events simcal-events-calendar-1223\" data-events-count=\"1\">\n\t<ul class=\"simcal-events\">\n\t<li class=\"simcal-event simcal-events-calendar-1223\" style=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Event\" data-start=\"1789131600\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simcal-event-details\"><p><strong><span class=\"simcal-event-title\" itemprop=\"name\">After Hours Private Event (Key Masters)<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-date\" data-event-start=\"1789131600\" data-event-format=\"d\/m\/Y\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-09-11T16:00:00+03:00\">11\/09\/2026<\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-time\" data-event-start=\"1789131600\" data-event-format=\"H:i\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-09-11T16:00:00+03:00\">16:00<\/span> - <span class=\"simcal-event-end simcal-event-end-time\" data-event-end=\"1789146000\" data-event-format=\"H:i\" itemprop=\"endDate\" content=\"2026-09-11T20:00:00+03:00\">20:00<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div><\/div>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl><div class=\"simcal-ajax-loader simcal-spinner-top\" style=\"display: none;\"><i class=\"simcal-icon-spinner simcal-icon-spin\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Past OASIS Events:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tuni.fi\/oasis\/calendar\/\">See the calendar.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OASIS Events are always free of charge and open to everyone.
