Topic for spring 2012: Video Game Criticism
Video games are ubiquitous in contemporary culture. They are central to entertainment, education, military operations, politics and health care. Like other technological and cultural products, games are not value-free. They can be powerful and seductive modes of enculturation. This seminar will focus on the analysis of videogames as expressive media with attention to relevant historical and theoretical readings. The goal is to provide students with fundamental critical tools to evaluate this influential medium.
