Gaming The System - Deconstructing Video Games, Games Studies, And Virtual Worlds

by David J. Gunkel

19,86€ + 10% CARD

 <P><EM>Gaming the System</EM> takes philosophical traditions out of the ivory tower and into the virtual worlds of video games. In this book, author David J. Gunkel explores how philosophical traditions—put forth by noted thinkers such as Plato, Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, and Žižek—can help us explore and conceptualize recent developments in video games, game studies, and virtual worlds. Furthermore, Gunkel interprets computer games as <I>doing</I> philosophy, arguing that the game world is a medium that provides opportunities to model and explore fundamental questions about the nature of reality, personal identity, social organization, and moral conduct. By using games to investigate and innovate in the area of philosophical thinking, Gunkel shows how areas such as game governance and manufacturers’ terms of service agreements actually grapple with the social contract and produce new postmodern forms of social organization that challenge existing modernist notions of politics and the nation state. In this critically engaging study, Gunkel considers virtual worlds and video games as more than just "fun and games," presenting them as sites for new and original thinking about some of the deepest questions concerning the human experience.</P>

Game Time - Understanding Temporality In Video Games

by Christopher Hanson

10,59€ + 10% CARD

 <P>Preserving, pausing, slowing, rewinding, replaying, reactivating, reanimating. . . . Has the ability to manipulate video game timelines altered our cultural conceptions of time? </P><P>Video game scholar Christopher Hanson argues that the mechanics of time in digital games have presented a new model for understanding time in contemporary culture, a concept he calls game time. Multivalent in nature, game time is characterized by apparent malleability, navigability, and possibility while simultaneously being highly restrictive and requiring replay and repetition. Hanson demonstrates that compared to analog tabletop games, sports, film, television, and other forms of media, the temporal structures of digital games provide unique opportunities to engage players with liveness, causality, potentiality, and lived experience that create new ways of experiencing time.</P><P>Hanson''s argument features comparative analysis of key video games titles including <I>Braid, Quantum Break, Battle of the Bulge, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time</I>, <I>Passage, The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time</I>, <I>Lifeline</I>, and <I>A Dark Room</I>.</P>
