Rauch Submitted to the Program in Comparative Media Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Comparative Media Studies ABSTRACT Despite an increasingly complex academic discourse, the videogame medium lacks an agreed-upon definition. Its relationship to previous media is somewhat unclear, and the unique attributes of the medium have not yet been fully catalogued. Drawing on theory suggesting that videogames can convey ideas, I will argue that the videogame medium is capable of modeling and critiquing elements of moral philosophy in a unique manner.

In his Pulitzer-winning book The Denial of Death,Emest Becker demonstrates how many of our social instifutions and psychological tendencies can be explained by the need to disbelieve in mortality.3 As I studied the ancestry of these evasions in Jacobean culture for my book The Rest is Silence: Death as Annihilation in the English Renaissance, I began noticing how ingeniously our own popular media abets our denials. The instances in novels and (especially) movies tend to be quite ffansparent: a thousand machine-gun bullets barely miss our beloved super-spy, a mourned side- kick tums up alive after all, and love stories extend into the happily ever after.

    Aleksander Kopka The Deaths of Socrates Key words: mourning, deconstruction, Plato, life, myth, auto-immunology, pharma- kon, writing The proper name would have sufficed, for it alone and by it- self says death, all deaths in one. It says death even while the bearer of it is still living. While so many codes and rites work to take away this privilege, because it is so terrifying, the proper name alone and by itself forcefully declares the unique disappearance of the unique — I mean the singulari- ty of an unqualifiable death [...] Death inscribes itself right in the name, but so as immediately to disperse itself there, so as to insinuate a strange syntax — in the name of only one to answer (as) many.1 and I imagine him unable to turn back on Plato. He is for- bidden to. He is in analysis and must sign, silently, since Plato will have kept the floor; signing what? well, a check, if you will, made out to the other, for he must have paid a lot, or his own death sentence. And first of all, by the same to- ken, the “mandate” to bring back that he himself dispatches to himself at the other’s command, his son or disciple, the one he has on his back and who will have played the devil’s advocate. For Plato finally says it himself, he sent it to him- 1 J. Derrida: The Deaths of Roland Barthes. Trans. P.-A. B r ault, M.Naas. In: Idem: The Work of Mourning. Chicago and London 2001, p.
