The concept of sacred game and designation of time in everyday life

According to Bauman "it's impossible to define death, as death stands for the final void, for that non-existence, which absurdly, gives all existence to all being." (Bauman, 1992, p. 2). However he indicates that, "Mortality, 'created' the opportunity: all the rest has been created by beings aware that they are mortal. Mortality gave the chance; the human way of life is outcome of that chance having been, and being, taken up." (Bauman, 1992,p. 7) All the things accomplished by humans are achieved cause of death and mortality. The second cornerstone of this study is the culture. Culture is a stronghold which assumed as a buffer zone of humans against death. According to Huizinga "Culture arises in the form of play that it is played from the very beginning...." (Huizinga, 1955,p. 46) After death and culture, I argued a new point of view "play-strife (seriousness/struggle) togetherness". According to this dialectic, post-modern life has many sacred games. In fact, one of these games effects the others. It is argued that "the sacred game" uses rationality, efficiency, seek of utility and individualism as its main elements. I claim that, if this view can be used as a new perspective in sociology, social sciences can understand social life's transformations and changes more easily.
