I encourage you to discuss ideas with other students but your work product should solely be your own. When a written response is appropriate, note that scholarly writing includes citations to primary sources, terse style, appropriate vocabulary and tone, and proper English style. The writing center and my office hours are great resources to improve your writing. “Read” and “Play” material has no specific deadline, but should be done close to that day so that we have a common base for discussion. For games, spend at least two hours in actual gameplay, and try to play with other students in the class. Having played a game (i.e., a social and intellectual activity) with someone will help you to know if you can work together effectively on a project. Unless explicitly noted, you are welcome to play a game on a different (equivalent) platform or with your own copy instead of using the library resource. If you make a reasonable attempt to play a game and it is not available, then you can substitute a different game listed on the course web page.

  • Fictionally Flipping Tetrominoes? Defining the Fictionality of a Videogame Player’S Actions
    The Philosophy of Computer Games Conference, Kraków 2017 Fictionally Flipping Tetrominoes? Defining the Fictionality of a Videogame Player’s Actions Nele Van de Mosselaer University of Antwerp “I have never fought a goblin in real life, though fictionally I’ve fought many of them.” (Tavinor 2009: 24) We can save Little Sisters in Bioshock, help our team members in Mass Effect, kill orcs in Shadow of Mordor, and race spaceships in WipeOut. Players of computer games interact with fictional objects, save characters that are invented, and kill monsters that are clearly non- existent within worlds that are mere representations on a screen. But how should we understand these actions, which players say to perform while they are never really performed? When describing situations as these, authors both in the philosophy of computer games and videogame studies often talk about fictional actions (Tavinor 2009; Matsunaga 2016; Robson and Meskin 2016; Velleman 2008). However, the concept of fictional actions is not always unambiguously or explicitly described and it is thus not always clear how this concept has to be understood. In this paper, I will use the case of Tetris actions to explore descriptions of fictional actions and discuss possible problems with existing views. I will first describe the Waltonian way of defining fictional actions and discuss how this would force us to call player actions in Tetris fictional. I will then assess two possible new conditions for fictional actions hinted at by Grant Tavinor, who refuses to call player actions in Tetris fictional actions. The first possibility is that the (non-)fictional status of videogame actions depends on the nature of the affordances to which the players react (Tavinor 2009; Juul 2005).

  • Defining the Fictionality of a Videogame Player's Actions
    Journal of the Philosophy of Games Vol 1, No 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.5617/jpg.6035 ISSN: 2535-4388 Published online: 30. December 2018 Section editor: Mark Silcox Editor: John R. Sageng Article Fictionally Flipping Tetrominoes? Defining the Fictionality of a Videogame Player’s Actions Nele Van de Mosselaer* In this paper, I use the case of player actions in Tetris to explore possible problems in existing descriptions of videogame actions as fictional actions. Both in the philosophy of computer games and videogame studies, authors often make use of Kendall Walton’s make-believe theory to describe videogame actions as fictional. According to the Waltonian description of fictional actions, however, the actions players perform when playing Tetris, such as flipping tetrominoes, would also be fictional. This is a counterintuitive idea, as players of Tetris seem to be really manipulating the graphical shapes in this game. I will thus discuss two other possible descriptions of fictional actions hinted at by Grant Tavinor (2009). Firstly, the (non-)fictional status of videogame actions might depend on the nature of the affordances to which they are reactions. Secondly, it might be the case that players must take on a role in the fictional world for their actions to be fictional. In the end, I will combine this second idea with a Waltonian description of fictional actions to form a new description of videogame actions as fictional actions that corresponds to and explains videogame players’ experiences. Keywords: video games, actions, affordances, fiction, player actions, fictional actions, avatar, imagination, make-believe, Walton. We can save Little Sisters in Bioshock, help our team members in Mass Effect, kill orcs in Shadow of Mordor, and race spaceships in WipeOut.

Claudio Borio1 Abstract The global financial crisis has shaken the foundations of the deceptively comfortable pre- crisis central banking world. Central banks face a threefold challenge: economic, intellectual and institutional. This essay puts forward a compass to help central banks sail in the largely uncharted waters ahead. The compass is based on tighter integration of the monetary and financial stability functions, keener awareness of the global dimensions of those tasks, and stronger safeguards for an increasingly vulnerable central bank operational independence.
