Beschreibung

This book modifies the concept of performativity with media theory in order to build a rigorous method for analyzing videogame performances. Beginning with an interdisciplinary exploration of performative motifs in Western art and literary history, the book shows the importance of framing devices in orienting audiences¿ experience of art. The frame, as a site of paradox, links the book¿s discussion of theory with close readings of texts, which include artworks, books and videogames. The resulting method is interdisciplinary in scope and will be of use to researchers interested in the performative aspects of gaming, art, digital storytelling and nonlinear narrative.

Zusammenfassung

Providing a coherent vocabulary for describing the chronotypologies of videogame performances, this book orients itself to opening new interdisciplinary possibilities in games studies

Addresses key problems which remain unresolved in academic discussions of games, including issues related to nonlinearity and narrative and the problem of tactile, embodied experience
