Expanded Course Description
This course examines video games and gaming culture as situated writing practices. This is an introduction to the field of game studies, and to games as narrative and cultural media. Through the exploration of different video gaming modalities students will explore how digital rhetoric extends into the virtual world. We will look at the stories games tell, the way their narrative elements or plot devices intersect with the culture around the games and gaming itself, and how all these things come together to affect game design, meaning, and play. We will discuss things like literature, African American Folklore, narrative theory, and more, in order to explore and critique analog and digital games.
