    Escuela de Periodismo, Universidad Mayor Mapeamiento de la Producción de Videojuegos en multiplataforma: Un estudio de casos en cinco países latinoamericanos más Canadá Escuela de Periodismo Universidad Mayor Noviembre 2011 Dr. Oscar Jaramillo Prof. Lucía Castellón Prof. Francisco Mas FORMULACION GENERAL PROYECTO. Esta investigación se enmarca en una propuesta internacional canadiense – latinoamericana para mapear el estado de la industria de contenidos digitales interactivos vinculados a los videojuegos para desarrollar políticas de incremento del emprendimiento en esta área y analizar sus aplicaciones al mejoramiento de la calidad de la educación en los países de la región, incorporando los videojuegos en los procesos de aprendizaje formales que permitan la generación de competencias profesionales de los estudiantes y marcos epistemológicos que les permitan futuras competencias para aprender a aprender de manera permanente. SINTESIS DEL ESTADO DEL ARTE . Durante la última década, el mercado de los videojuegos se ha convertido en una plataforma multimillonaria, cuyo nivel de facturación rivaliza con el resto de la industria de la entretención. 1 Escuela de Periodismo, Universidad Mayor Sólo durante 2008, Microsoft, Nintendo y Sony se vendieron 101 millones de consolas a nivel mundial. Ese mismo año el título más vendido fue Mario Kart para Wii con 13.64 millones de copias1. Cabe señalar que la mayor parte de las estadísticas que se manejan son a nivel global, del mercado estadounidense, europeo y asiático. No existen cifras confiables acerca del mercado latinoamericano, ni menos del chileno. Más aún si consideramos que según la Business Software Alliance (BSA), Chile lidera el ranking de países con mayor nivel de piratería de software con un 67%, seguido por Turquía ( 64%), México (56%) y Polonia (56%).

  • Videojuegos Como Forma De Repensar La Relación Entre Estética Y Política
    Videojuegos como forma de repensar la relación entre estética y política. Reflexiones desde la periferia Sebastián Gómez Urra Introducción Mi objetivo es plantear la inquietud de pensar los videojuegos como un caso de estudio no solamente importante, sino también necesario para entender hoy nuestra cultura. Este trabajo se hará cargo de la ausente perspectiva latinoamericana al respecto, ausencia entendible como síntoma y como consecuencia de variadas motivaciones económicas y socioculturales que han, de cierta forma, relegado a nuestro continente a la periferia de la estructura que forma esta industria cultural. La industria de los videojuegos, considerada ya por el gobierno británico desde hace casi diez años como una parte fundamental de la economía perteneciente al sector de las industrias culturales y creativas1 (Creative Industries Economic Estimates), ha llegado a ser considerada por algunos autores (Dyer-Witheford y de Peuter; Kirkpatrick, Computer Games and the Social Imaginary) como el ejemplo paradigmático del ca- pitalismo actual. Bajo esta perspectiva, toda industria que implique algún tipo de labor intelectual ha tendido a seguir los patrones instaurados por los regímenes lúdicos de trabajo que sustentan la constante alimentación de información y creatividad que el capitalismo cognitivo posfordista requiere para su funcionamiento. Mi intención, por tanto, es recontextualizar este discurso en la rea- lidad latinoamericana. Para ello, me enfocaré en dos aristas propuestas por Dyer-Witheford y de Peuter en Games of Empire, que muestran a la industria de los videojuegos como una estrategia de avanzada del 1 Con esto quiero hacer énfasis en la existencia de políticas públicas y fondos culturales dedicados específicamente a ella.

Our April 2014 PDF is the 50th issue of our magazine. We came a long way since the first edition of AL that was released eight years ago. During those eight years, Adventure Lantern went through many changes. There were periods where we were extremely active and growing. There were also months of silence where other aspects of my life had to take priority over the magazine. We had a plethora of excellent contributors and two exceptional individuals that took over all editing and formatting duties in my absence.
