Now, a year later, we still do not know how the pandemic will change us as a company and the society round us.

" What is sociology, what do sociologists study and how do they study it? One of the largest professional organizations in the world, the American Sociological Association (n.d.), describes sociology as “a social science involving the study of the social lives of people, groups, and societies; the study of our behavior as social beings, covering everything from the analysis of short contacts between anonymous individuals on the street to the study of global social processes; [and] the scientific study of social aggregations, the entities through which humans move throughout their lives.” Sociology is concerned with most aspects of human social life.

  • Rhetorics and Mechanics of Player Safety in the Nordic-American Larp
    2020 / Homo Ludens 1(13) Rhetorics and mechanics of player safety in the Nordic-American larp discourse Michał Mochocki Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz [email protected] | ORCID: 0000-0001-5679-9219 Abstract: This paper investigates the evolution of larp safety in the Nordic- American larp community in the last decade, tracing the correlation between safety rhetorics (opinions, arguments, and policies) and mechanics (explicit rules regulating player interactions). It appears that up to around 2010 there was a general acceptance of risk, with a significant share of responsibility for risk identification and harm prevention put on the player. This correlates with mechanics such as safety words, which expected players in distress to actively signal their discomfort. Safety measures expected from the organisers consisted mainly in providing safe off-game spaces, emotional support, and intervention whenever something harmful happened. Around 2014 the safety debate put a larger share of responsibility on players initi- ating potentially troubling interactions. This correlates with the ‘OK check’ mechanics which requires communication between the initiator and the target of such interactions. Around 2016 the safety debate moved to the position in which it requires organisers and participants to do their best to prevent harm from ever happening. This finds its expression in the rapidly expanding toolkit of mechanics of consent and calibration, which clearly put responsibility for overstepping someone’s boundaries on the one who over- steps. To simplify, the first approach obliged players and organisers to taking care of those who signalled they needed it. The second approach required caution and care in testing someone’s boundaries.

Permanent link to this version: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:sh:diva-17816 International Journal of Role-Playing - Issue 3 An Embodied Cognition Approach for Understanding Role-playing Popular abstract - The article proposes that the theories of grounded cognition and embodiment can be utilized in explaining the role-playing experience. Embodied cognition theories assume that cognition is not only a feature of the brain, but the body as a whole and it is interaction with the environment it operates in. Grounded cognition proposes that an action, perceiving an action, and thinking about an action rely on the same processes. Moreover, knowledge is inseparably grounded to bodily states and modalities. Based on the grounded cognition theory and especially embodiment, we argue the character immersion and bleed are natural consequences on how the brain works. Also we illustrate how the operation of simulators explains some of the central features in the creation of fiction and it is similarities to our everyday experiences. In general, grounded cognition provides a rather simple explanation how fiction is experienced as in this theoretical framework action and thinking about an action largely utilize the same brain mechanics and so are phenomenally similar.
