  • Playing with Subjectivity: Virtual Autobiography in Videogames
    Macquarie Matrix: Vol.3.1, August 2013 Playing with subjectivity: Virtual autobiography in videogames R Peach Department of English, Macquarie University Abstract This paper examines some of the ways that Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG)s such as World of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment, 2004) disperses and fragments subjectivity by enabling players to create their game experiences into virtual autobiographies through the recognition that these experiences are perceived simultaneously by the individual and the avatar. The theories of Lacan, Rehak and Bakhtin will be discussed in relation to how traditional notions of subjectivity adapt to virtual environments in MMORPGs, drawing examples from player dossiers and short film. Finally, some implications that virtual autobiographies have on the future of subjectivity in an increasingly virtual world will be briefly outlined. Key words virtual, autobiography, video game, narrative, World of Warcraft, subjectivity. 29 Playing with subjectivity: Virtual autobiography in video games R Peach Narrative is a “human phenomenon” which occurs not just in literature, film and drama, but in all aspects of everyday human life and discourse in all its forms (Porter Abbott, 2002, Preface) – written, spoken, visual, audio, and increasingly the virtual multimodal discourse of informational technology. As that technology continues to rapidly evolve and become an increasingly more and more pervasive and complex component of everyday life, so too do the ways in which human beings experience and narrativise their lives, selves and the world. My focus in this paper is on the effects of narrative in videogame playing on player subject positions, in particular the ways in which Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG’s) such as World of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment, 2004), fragment and disperse users’ subjectivity by enabling them to record their game experiences as virtual autobiographies perceived simultaneously through the eyes of both the individual and avatar.

  • My Life As a Night Elf Priest Technologies of the Imagination New Media in Everyday Life Ellen Seiter and Mimi Ito, Series Editors
    My Life as a Night Elf Priest technologies of the imagination new media in everyday life Ellen Seiter and Mimi Ito, Series Editors This book series showcases the best ethnographic research today on engagement with digital and convergent media. Taking up in-depth portraits of different aspects of living and growing up in a media-saturated era, the series takes an innovative approach to the genre of the ethnographic monograph. Through detailed case studies, the books explore practices at the forefront of media change through vivid description analyzed in relation to social, cultural, and historical context. New media practice is embedded in the routines, rituals, and institutions—both public and domes- tic—of everyday life. The books portray both average and exceptional practices but all grounded in a descriptive frame that renders even exotic practices understandable. Rather than taking media content or technology as determining, the books focus on the productive dimensions of everyday media practice, particularly of children and youth. The emphasis is on how specific communities make meanings in their engagement with convergent media in the context of everyday life, focus- ing on how media is a site of agency rather than passivity. This ethnographic approach means that the subject matter is accessible and engaging for a curious layperson, as well as providing rich empirical material for an interdisciplinary scholarly community examining new media. Ellen Seiter is Professor of Critical Studies and Stephen K. Nenno Chair in Television Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Her many publications include The Internet Playground: Children’s Access, Entertainment, and Mis-Education; Television and New Media Audiences; and Sold Separately: Children and Parents in Consumer Culture.
