Toward an Ecology of Gaming Katie Salen Institute of Play; Parsons the New School for Design, Design and Technology A time is marked not so much by ideas that are argued about as by ideas that are taken for granted. —Jonathan Letham1 1954. West Germany gains an unexpected 3-2 victory over Hungary in the World Cup, known from then on as The Miracle of Bern. Officials announce that an American hydrogen bomb test had been conducted on Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. Marilyn Monroe weds Joe DiMaggio. The Geneva Conference partitions Vietnam into North Vietnam and South Vietnam. Mathematician Alan Turing commits suicide. “Gaming as a Technique of Analysis” is released, praising games as designed models with which to think. When viewed from this perspective, 1954 looks a lot like 2007: a year of instability and transformation on the world stage, a year shadowed by the promise and threat of competing ideologies, a year colored by fear, hope, and the advent of new technology. 1954 was also a year, like this year, when games entered the popular lexicon and man the player was seized upon as a harbinger of change.

  • High-Performance Play: the Making of Machinima
    High-Performance Play: The Making of Machinima Henry Lowood Stanford University <DRAFT. Do not cite or distribute. To appear in: Videogames and Art: Intersections and Interactions, Andy Clarke and Grethe Mitchell (eds.), Intellect Books (UK), 2005. Please contact author, [email protected], for permission.> Abstract: Machinima is the making of animated movies in real time through the use of computer game technology. The projects that launched machinima embedded gameplay in practices of performance, spectatorship, subversion, modification, and community. This article is concerned primarily with the earliest machinima projects. In this phase, DOOM and especially Quake movie makers created practices of game performance and high-performance technology that yielded a new medium for linear storytelling and artistic expression. My aim is not to answer the question, “are games art?”, but to suggest that game-based performance practices will influence work in artistic and narrative media. Biography: Henry Lowood is Curator for History of Science & Technology Collections at Stanford University and co-Principal Investigator for the How They Got Game Project in the Stanford Humanities Laboratory. A historian of science and technology, he teaches Stanford’s annual course on the history of computer game design. With the collaboration of the Internet Archive and the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences, he is currently working on a project to develop The Machinima Archive, a permanent repository to document the history of Machinima moviemaking. A body of research on the social and cultural impacts of interactive entertainment is gradually replacing the dismissal of computer games and videogames as mindless amusement for young boys. There are many good reasons for taking computer games1 seriously.

    Copyright by Kaitlin Elizabeth Hilburn 2017 The Report Committee for Kaitlin Elizabeth Hilburn Certifies that this is the approved version of the following report: Transformative Gameplay Practices: Speedrunning through Hyrule APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Supervisor: Suzanne Scott Kathy Fuller-Seeley Transformative Gameplay Practices: Speedrunning through Hyrule by Kaitlin Elizabeth Hilburn, B.S. Comm Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2017 Dedication Dedicated to my father, Ben Hilburn, the first gamer I ever watched. Abstract Transformative Gameplay Practices: Speedrunning Through Hyrule Kaitlin Elizabeth Hilburn, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2017 Supervisor: Suzanne Scott The term “transformative” gets used in both fan studies and video game studies and gestures toward a creative productivity that goes beyond simply consuming a text. However, despite this shared term, game studies and fan studies remain fairly separate in their respective examination of fans and gamers, in part due to media differences between video games and more traditional media, like television. Bridging the gap between these two fields not only helps to better explain transformative gameplay, but also offers additional insights in how fans consume texts, often looking for new ways to experience the source text. This report examines the transformative gameplay practices found within video game fan communities and provides an overview of their development and spread. It looks at three facets of transformative gameplay, performance, mastery, and education, using the transformative gameplay practices around The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) as a primary case study.

The Power of Play: The Portrayal and Performance of Race in Video Games Anna Everett University of California, Santa Barbara, Department of Film Studies S. Craig Watkins The University of Texas at Austin, Department of Radio-Television-Film Introduction: Young People, Games, and Learning The growing presence of games in the lives of young people creates perils and possibilities. Games have been a constant source of criticism and alarm among parents, researchers, child advocacy groups, and elected officials. The potential harmful effects of gaming have been linked to society’s understandable concerns about the increasingly sedentary lifestyles of youth and childhood obesity, addiction, gender socialization, poor academic performance, and aggressive behavior.1 An area of growing concern is the role of games in the learning experiences and environments of youth.2 While there is growing consensus that learning takes place in games, the question we ask is: “What kinds of learning?” In this chapter we shift the focus on youth, learning, and video games generally to consider the extremely significant but often overlooked matter of race. Specifically, we address the following question: In what ways do young people’s interactions with video games influence how and what they learn about race? We present a critical framework for thinking about how popular game titles and the professionals who design them reflect, influence, reproduce, and thereby teach dominant ideas about race in America.
