title = "Re-interpreting Cities with Play: Urban Semiotics and Gamification",
abstract = "This paper aims to propose a semiotic perspective on how play can be used to change the citizens{\textquoteright} perception of the city. The paper propose a meaning-centered understanding both of play activities (seen as resemantisations of the surrounding environment) and of urban spaces (seen as complex meaning-making machines) and attempts to show how the first ones can be used to re-interpret the second ones. Finally, a few examples such as parkour and flash mobs are analyses in order to test the efficacy of the approach.",
