Initially, diff{\´e}rance is related to the notion of play and identity/difference in Derrida's perspective. Next, the notion of magic circle through Derrida's play is analyzed, emphasizing the dynamics of diff{\´e}rance to understand gameplay as process; questioning its boundaries. Finally, the focus shifts toward the implications of the interplay of identities and differences during gameplay.}, language = {en} }
