  • Self-Reflexive Simulacra. Visuality As Meta-Commentary Hans-Joachim Backe
    Self-reflexive Simulacra. Visuality as meta-commentary Hans-Joachim Backe Center for Computer Games Research, IT University of Copenhagen, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark, [email protected] English manuscript for Russian translation in New Literary Observer 158 (4/2019), p. 215-227. Abstract This paper discusses how contemporary digital games engage critically with the difference between implied and actual referentiality through their visuals. Digital games have a tenuous relationship to reality; in most cases, they are rather simulacra than simulations, offering a simulation-like situation that does not relate to any preceding reality but creates a virtual world precedented only in other fictional or virtual works. The visuals of mainstream, AAA games counteract this ontological disconnect through an overabundance of detail and flourish in a perennial struggle for photorealism. This paper discusses Dishonored 2 (Arkane Studios/Bethesda Softworks 2016) as an example which, while generally adhering to this convention, introduces elements of subversion into its visual logic. It will show that there are various metaleptic ludic devices – such as virtual reality environments within virtual worlds and reality-changing paintings – with which contemporary digital games reflect subtly upon their own relationship to reality. Keywords Metalepsis, Metareference, Defamiliarization, Dishonored 2, Looking Glass, Agency, Genre Introduction Games are culturally situated artefacts. Coming from a humanistic perspective, studying them as such entails that their allusions and subtexts are analyzed, which regularly provokes suspicions of over-interpretation, or, more radically, declarations of the absolute subjectivity of all interpretation. To show that an artefact encourages recipients to pay attention to specific aspects of itself, it has been an established practice since the inception of Russian Formalism to point towards moments of rupture, alienation, or estrangement.

    Running head: THE FOUNDATIONS OF SONG BIRD GENDER SPECTRUM NEUTRALITY AND THE EFFECT OF GENDER DICHOTOMY WITHIN VIDEO GAME DESIGN AS CONCEPTUALIZED IN: THE FOUNDATIONS OF SONG BIRD A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY CALEB JOHN NOFFSINGER DR. MICHAEL LEE – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2018 THE FOUNDATIONS OF SONG BIRD 2 ABSTRACT Song Bird is an original creative project proposed and designed by Caleb Noffsinger at Ball State University for the fulfillment of a master’s degree in Telecommunication: Digital Storytelling. The world that will be established is a high fantasy world in which humans have risen to a point that they don’t need the protection of their deities and seek to hunt them down as their ultimate test of skill. This thesis focuses more so on the design of the primary character, Val, and the concept of gender neutrality as portrayed by video game culture. This paper will also showcase world building, character designs for the supporting cast, and examples of character models as examples. The hope is to use this as a framework for continued progress and as an example of how the video game industry can further include previously alienated communities.
