9789811686252 - Social Virtual Worlds and Their Places: The Geographer?s Guide (16 risultati)

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book provides a foundational look at social virtual worlds from the geographers perspective. How can the geographers craft be applied to social virtual worlds? This question is addressed through careful analysis of what social virtual worlds are, how interest in these worlds has waxed and waned during the twenty-first century, and the meaning of their concocted spaces. Examining one of the key features of the social virtual world, the avatar, the book focuses on its user's motivations and identity choices. The book draws on the geographical understanding of place to examine where avatars live, work, and roam, and describes how virtual-world places resemble and diverge from actual-world places. A mixed-methods survey conducted in Second Life adds additional breadth to the discussion, whilst a series of vignettes gives extra life to the subject matter.
