Beschreibung
This volume addresses the persistent and frequently toxic associations between masculinity and games. It explores many of the critical issues in contemporary studies of masculinity¿including issues of fatherhood, homoeroticism, eSports, fan cultures, and militarism¿and their intersections with digital games, the contexts of their play, and the social futures associated with sustained involvement in gaming cultures. Unlike much of the research and public discourse that put the onus of ¿fixing¿ games and gaming cultures on those at its margins¿women, LGBTQ, and people of color¿this volume turns attention to men and masculinities, offering vital and productive avenues for both practical and theoretical intervention.

Zusammenfassung

Addresses the cultural, economic, and technological mechanisms through which games, and the cultures and contexts surrounding their use and production, continue to be associated with hegemonic masculinities and cis-male identities

Part of a trilogy of books addressing questions of gender, sexuality, and gaming cultures from a comprehensive, contemporary perspective
