Abstract:
This anthropological account of make-believe behaviour of Huli (Papua New Guinea) children demonstrates how our shared knowledge about make-believe routines, about role playing, and about the kinds of social information these representations incorporate allow children to invoke their own experiences of the world and reinvent them as types of virtual reality.
