Course description

In this course, students will undertake a critical interrogation of contemporary gaming cultures, exploring the ways in which the narrative structures, modes of play and representation in digital games immerse players in the cultural dynamics of technology, trial and contest. The course content explores the predominant genres, themes, objects and environments of gaming cultures, with an emphasis on critical analysis and the progressive evolution of digital games. Students will engage with the everyday, lived social experience of gaming and its contribution to our understanding of digital technology, ourselves and our engagement with others in the spaces created by games.
