  • Identity and Identification in the Historical Video Games Set in the Middle Ages
    FACTIONS AND NATIONS: IDENTITY AND IDENTIFICATION IN THE HISTORICAL VIDEO GAMES SET IN THE MIDDLE AGES JUAN FRANCISCO JIMÉNEZ ALCÁZAR UNIVERSIDAD DE MURCIA SPAIN Date of receipt: 1st of February, 2021 Date of acceptance: 9th of March, 2021 ABSTRACT Historical video games offer players the opportunity to choose different options for managing factions and nations of the past, with which they can come to identify. The interactive and immersive nature of the medium makes this possible, and the thrill of winning or losing is enhanced by this ability to assimilate. The study focuses on those set in the medieval period, where factions respond to the various historical stages that define it. In this identity process through the video game, the player assumes a virtual role in which individual or group feelings that historically define their identity are reflected. These titles, as products of cultural expression, are also manifestations of those who have designed them, and inaccuracies due to cultural clichés or factors to be more entertaining —playability— are often resolved by gamers through the mod phenomenon. KEY WORDS Historical video game, Middle Ages, Identity, Nation, Avatar. CAPITALIA VERBA Historicorum Videoludi, Medium Aevum, Identitas, Natio, Locumtenens. IMAGO TEMPORIS. MEDIUM AEVUM, XV (2021): 451-489 / ISSN 1888-3931 / DOI 10.21001/itma.2021.15.15 451 452 JUAN FRANCISCO JIMÉNEZ ALCÁZAR 1. Options1 We must not insist on the fact that video games are a reality. It is not necessary, regardless of the position one may hold in principle about this phenomenon. Video games are a medium that came to stay and their globalization is already a fact.

    Frank G. Bosman and Archibald L. H. M. van Wieringen Reading The Book of Joseph A Communication-Oriented Analysis of Far Cry 5 Abstract In the game Far Cry 5, a book called The Book of Joseph plays an important role. It is the confession, autobiography and sermon compilation of Joseph Seed, the leader of the fundamentalist, Christian-inspired violent Doomsday cult called “Project at Eden’s Gate”. In the game, the player is tasked to defeat Seed’s grip on – fictional – Hope Coun- ty, Montana (USA). The Book of Joseph is not only found in the game, where its content is kept hidden from the player, but is also featured in a live-action trailer, called The Baptism. Most importantly, Joseph Seed’s book has also been published as a physical object and was distributed to the first2 ,000 buyers of the Mondo edition of the game. In this article, the authors argue that the communicative function of The Book of Joseph differs significantly from one medial object to the next (game, trailer, book), influenced by the intertextual and intermedial relationships between those medial objects and by their exclusive characteristics. Using a communication-oriented method of text analy- sis, the authors investigate the various communicative processes within the different “texts”, in order to establish the narrative loci of the book’s materiality. Keywords Far Cry 5, The Book of Joseph, Communication-Oriented Method, Intertextuality, Cult, Intermediality, Materiality Biographies Frank G. Bosman is a theologian of culture and a senior researcher at the Tilburg School of Catholic Theology, Tilburg University, the Netherlands.
