Game Studies Lecture

THIS TALK EXAMINES HOW LITERATURE RESPONDS TO THE INCREASING IMPORTANCE OF VIDEO GAMES – NOT MERELY BY DEPICTING GAMING, BUT BY USING VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS TO EXPLORE HOW WORLDS BECOME CREDIBLE, IMMERSIVE, AND INHABITABLE. IT ASKS HOW NOVELS NEGOTIATE THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN GAME WORLDS AND EVERYDAY LIFE AND HOW THIS NEGOTIATION SHAPES THEIR NARRATIVE FORM.
