Media plays an interesting role within our culture; it allows us “to be in the world but not of it” (Lembo, 2000, p. 59). It provides the means for our everyday life to move across borders and boundaries: “between the public and private; between the sacred and the profane; between the front and the back stages; between the realms of the real and the
fantastic; between inner and outer reality, the individual and the social” (Lembo, 2000, p.59). When studying the effects of the media, and specifically television, we need to pay attention to the concept of play.
This is a space where meaning are created through participation within a space that is usually shared and structured, it is a place that is divergent from our ordinary lives, a place where we can leave our realities, and enter new constructed realities. This is the idea of play. Watching television involves us using this idea of play.
The television has the ability to lure us into play.
