Paperback. Condizione: New. What roles do imaginary games have in story-telling? Why do fiction authors outline the rules of a game that the audience will never play? Combining perspectives from philosophy, literary theory and game studies, this book provides the first in-depth investigation into the significance of fictional games within fictional worlds.Drawing from contemporary cinema and literature, from The Hunger Games to the science fiction of Iain M. Banks, Stefano Gualeni and Riccardo Fassone introduce five key functions that different types of imaginary games have in worldbuilding. First, fictional games can emphasize the dominant values and ideologies of the fictional society they belong to. Second, some imaginary games function in fictional worlds as critical, utopian tools, inspiring shifts in the thinking and political orientation of the fictional characters. Third, a few fictional games are conducive to the transcendence of a particular form of being, such as the overcoming of human corporeality. Fourth, imaginary games within works of fiction can deceptively blur the boundaries between the contingency of play and the irrevocable seriousness of "real life", either camouflaging life as a game or disguising a game as something with more permanent consequences. And fifth, they can function as meta-reflexive tools, suggesting critical and/or satirical perspectives on how actual games are designed, played, sold, manipulated, experienced, understood and utilized as part of our culture.With illustrations in every chapter bringing the imaginary games to life, Gualeni and Fassone creatively inspire us to consider fictional games anew: not as moments of playful reprieve in a storyline, but as significant and multi-layered expressive devices.…

Tapa blanda. Condizione: New. Una brújula para la selva digital. Un estudio sobre cómo los videojuegos moldean nuestras mentes. La filosofía migra a píxeles: ¡Aprende a jugar conscientemente! "El videojuego del mundo" explora cómo el juego, como toda tecnología de la ficción, moldea la mente humana y orienta el curso de nuestro deseo. Los mundos virtuales no son espacios etéreos de mero entretenimiento, sino realidades vivas y dinámicas, capaces de transformar nuestra percepción, nuestra sensibilidad y nuestra vida social. Una investigación que entrelaza existencialismo, diseño y semiótica, sirve al autor para mostrar que la frontera entre rostro y máscara, entre lo virtual y lo real, es mucho más porosa de lo que queremos creer. El nuevo humanismo, sugiere el filósofo y diseñador de videojuegos Stefano Gualeni, debe nacer de esa conciencia: la de que nuestras ideas, valores e identificaciones circulan y se materializan en los mundos digitales. En la era en que "la filosofía migra de la palabra a los píxeles", aprender a jugar --y a pensar lo que jugamos-- se vuelve la gran tarea contemporánea. Stefano Gualeni es filósofo, diseñador de videojuegos y profesor en la Universidad de Malta. Doctorado en filosofía de la tecnología, se destaca por su enfoque interdisciplinario, cruzando filosofía continental y mundos virtuales. Es pionero utilizando videojuegos experimentales como laboratorios donde las ideas se experimentan en primera persona y autor de Virtual Worlds as Philosophical Tools (2015).…
