Abstract:
The subject of this article is games as a form and mode of being considered through the prism of transgression. Contemporary individuals lose themselves in a ludic mode of being, shifting the boundaries of the discourse so that the original meaning is replaced, dissolving in the confluence of multiple positions and ways of existence, thus allowing a person to transgress the law and the foundation without abolishing the traditional norm. Individual transgression becomes a way of satisfying unattainable desires, an act and a form of self-realization and self-presentation.
