Abstract

Several authors have cited the metaphor of game playing as an analytical device to study social behavior. Traditionally, the game model has been us- ed either to promote a more strict or instrumental control upon actual social behavior or to match a formal game model construction of a social event with actual behavior in evewday life, and through this method shed light upon aspects which otherwise would be overlooked. In another con- nection, various authors have discussed the concept of glossing in social relations. This paper uses Mark Twain's last chapters of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to explicate how the game model can be used as a gloss. The game model gloss then is a unique combination of sociological con- ceptualizations presented through the medium of a lively literary allegory. We feel this paper extends the concept of glossing and furthers the under- standing of the game metaphor in sociological theory.
