  • Playing with Puppets: Foucauldian Power Relations in Bioshock and Borderlands 2
    | Izabela Tomczak PLAYING WITH PUPPETS: FOUCAULDIAN POWER RELATIONS IN BIOSHOCK AND BORDERLANDS 2 Abstract The article investigates whether power/knowledge relations observed by Foucault in real life could be possibly applicable in the video game context. Two blockbuster titles, BioShock (2007) and Borderlands 2 (2009), are analysed to discuss the following aspects of Foucauldian theory: the existence of docile bodies, the creation of a dominant discourse of truth, and the maintenance of the created system. With regard to the creation of docile bod- ies, the perspective of two antagonists (Andrew Ryan and Handsome Jack) is centralised, and their role in creating a hierarchical system is presented. The Foucauldian rules of enclo- sure and rank, being crucial to the concept of docility, can be seen in the representation of the city of Rapture and the planet of Pandora. To develop the argument further, the rules connected to establishing and upholding the regime of truth, such as dissemination of knowledge, laws, monitoring and distribution of good, are analysed. Key words : Michel Foucault, power/knowledge, video games, Bioshock , Borderlands 2 Introduction Faced with rapid development, analyses of cultural products are bound to constantly expand to include new emergent genres. TV series, YouTube videos and blogs are reshaping and re-evaluating the state of the contemporary society, which in turn leads to greater confusion in their interpretation. One of the flour- ishing genres that challenges traditional modes of analysis are videogames. This 206 Playing with Puppets... unique mix of interactive and immersive features with pre-written narratives, at a glance, will seem to require separate critical tools; however, videogames still derive richly from literary theory and philosophy, and as such can be interpreted in those terms.

    Playing Badly: The Heroic Cheat and the Ethics of Play A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Adam Douglas Lindberg IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor J ani Scandura May 2018 © Adam Lindberg 2018 Acknowledgements This project would not have been completed without financial support in various way s from the English Department of the University of Minnesota and its fa culty and staff. I would like to thank my committee – Professors Jani Scandura, Shevvy Craig, Tom Pepper, and Rita Raley – for their help and support during my coursework and throughout the writing of the dissertation. Similarly, I’d also like to acknowled ge the friendship and community I’ve found among the developers and scholars at Glitch, particularly Evva Kraikul and Nicolaas Van Meerten. I am grateful for the patience of Asher Lindberg, w ho would much rather be playing . S o would I . Last, nothing would have been possible without the extraordinary care and support of my father, Richard Lindberg. i Abstract This dissertation explains the work of hegemonic play in understanding what games are and w hat they do. This explanation is used to formalize a new theoretical and practical model for games criticism that can also be applied in literary, media, and social criticism. The present moment has been dubbed a “ludic age” as our algorithmically - informed world increasingly resembles game systems, a similarity exacerbated by an ongoing and intentional surge in deploying game concepts across every corner of organizable experience. Despite these signals to the value of reading games within ordinary experienc e, there persists a deeply held belief that the essential nature of games lies in their radical difference to non - game or “real” life.
