Abstract
Consideration is being given to the phenomenon of play, through which another, different from the existing, ontological layer is created, revealing the little-known facets of culture and aesthetic activity in the heritage of Mikhail Bakhtin, the famous culturologist. The conducted research makes it possible to state the following. Play as a phenomenon is inextricably linked with the main themes of Bakhtin's work, being included in the concepts of dialogism, polylogue, carnival culture, and the theory of aesthetic activity. Play, in the aspect of interconnection with culture through art, stands as another being in which life is played out. In the carnival, the value space of the play is created; the play itself is complex and diverse. The ambivalence of the play is perceived as an attempt to express it in various planes of real life. The binarity of the play in the space of the carnival is revealed through the category of anti-structure. Play, in the space of the carnival, is defined as a play of life, is another being, declared by the author to be an extraterritorial space.
