Entertaiment is a collection of articles that showcase entertainment in all its forms: movies, books, music, games, live performance, art and new media. It’s a reflection of how we’re able to take familiar forms and adapt them to different contexts and situations. The word “entertainment” has its roots in the Medieval Latin word intertenere, derived from the Latin prefix inter meaning “inside,” and the suffix tenere, derived from the Indo-European root ten, meaning “stretch.” The idea of entertainment is about holding one’s attention for extended periods. This collection illustrates how many of our ideas about entertainment have shifted over time.
