Class: Performative Avatars
Instructor: Matt Romein
The readings for this week, which focus on violence in the game world, showed me the extent violence might mean in the unreal game world. It is shocking yet interesting at the same time to think about the issues around it including how to define violence in an unreal environment, what is the appropriate boundary, what goes on behind gamers' minds when practicing "violence" and getting creative about it, the potential impacts on gamers' character in real life as a result.
The reading list consists of:
Interesting notes:
- the conflicting psychology of wanting games to feel more & more real but also not too real.
- unclear impacts on gamers' real-life characters
- is it still just a fantasy world for some? a fantasy of a violent world?
