TABARES FERNANDEZ, José Fernando. Folk and traditional games, entertainment and colonial difference. Polis [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.26, pp.157-173. ISSN 0718-6568.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-65682010000200008.

This paper installs itself in the coloniality/modernity perspective, which intends to contribute to the building up of an analysis framework for leisure in peripherical societies. It develops the "colonial difference" category, in order to give account of the way leisure is configured in this special field, emerging from tensional processes between local stories and global designs. It proposes a view that seeks to contribute to the necessary analysis and problematization of leisure, in societies which, due to their configuration in the modern/colonial world-system, have been placed in subaltern and inferiority conditions.

Palabras clave : Leisure; modernity/coloniality; colonial difference; traditional and popular games.
