<blockquote>"I'm mostly interested in conepts of play as free activity defined by Huizinga and Callois and today's problems with these definitions.

In young animals, play is mostly preparation for survival, learning how to efficiently defend themselves or how to efficiently attack prey. Its interesting for example how game industry is counting on specifically this element / pure agon. Here is useful to realize concept of animal spirits that Virno and Pasqunelli are referring too, where they regard inovation and culture as the constant battle, (or Immaterial civil war) and prolongation of animal nature in human. In that sense culture is not something opposite to "animal spirit" but rather continuation or even amplification of animal nature in humans.
