Game Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 2 months agoHi Cristian! I’m really interested in your project, and particularly how you see it fitting into/relating to other game studies projects that look at form and structures in games. The ludology camp of game studies in particular has long focused on game structures, forms, and ontologies (almost to the exclusion of anything else), and the two…[Read more]

Game Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 2 months agoHi, everyone.
I used to write a blog (in Spanish) on the study of video games while completing both my undergradute and graduate programs. I thought of undertaking a PhD during the 2nd half of 2017 and the 1st half of this year, but couldn’t find a professor who accepted to supervise my project. So, decided to develop this project independently,…[Read more]

Jonathan Basile deposited The New Novelty: Corralation as Quarantine in Speculative Realism and New Materialism in the group
Science Studies and the History of Science on Humanities Commons 7 years, 2 months agoThe foundational gesture of New Materialism and Speculative Realism dismisses vast swaths of past philosophy and theory in order to signify their own avant-garde status.

Cody Mejeur deposited Gamers, gender, and cruel optimism: the limits of social identity constructs in The Guild in the group
Game Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 2 months agoVideo game culture has a long, ongoing history of problems with representation and inclusivity, as a wide variety of forces have constructed video games and gaming as masculine. Against this
background, the popular gamer-oriented web series The Guild (2007–2013) appears to offer a unique counterperspective, presenting a gender-diverse cast and f…[Read more] -

Game Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 3 months agoHi All,
I’ve just been adding my publications to the CORE repository here, and tagged the Game Studies group on the deposits so it’s easy to find them. One great benefit of depositing work into CORE is that it gets a DOI, if that publication doesn’t have one already. If you deposit any game studies work, please tag it to the group so members can…[Read more]

Game Studies on Humanities Commons 7 years, 3 months agoHi Damian, it’s great to have you here! There are a few places for discussion I’m aware of, but they aren’t all particularly active–I think it’s unfortunate reality of folks being grad students and faculty with extremely busy schedules. But there’s the Game Studies Open Forum on Facebook, the GamesNetwork listserv (I believe run out of Finland,…[Read more]
