Thesis Outline

Question:

IF WE PLAY DOES THAT MEAN ITS NOT REAL(ITY) ?

Does my identity consist of many layers and different characters?

Why do you want to write this text?

I want to write this text to further investigate two themes that are present in my work ; playing and identity. I’d like to think that people never know or possess one identity but that it consists of many layers and different "characters' ' that we can discover and alternate in a playful way. And by studying the wrtingings around these themes and by writing an expirmiamantal work myself I'd like to investigate if this belief knows any truth.

Intro:

Why am I personally attracted to this topic, how come? / personal anecdote

Chapter 1:An definition of Identity through the words of Amin Maalouf

- How do we identify an identity?

- Do we posses one identity?

Chapter 2: An definition of playing through the words of Johan Huizinga

- What is playing?

- What do we need to be able to play?

- How do we know we are being playful?

- What does it give to be playful?

Chapter 3: A creative written work

- A repetitive writing work in which I question myself : Do I consist of different "characters” and if so can I discover those through a writing practice.
