... which among others shines a different light on gaming literacy (or the maybe even more telling German term "Spiel-Bildung") neccessary when using games in the classroom/education!

Have a look, share it, and maybe contribute if you can!

Vielleicht ja interessant für eure Seminare im Wintersemester oder wenn ihr euch generell für Bedeutungsebenen in Games interessieren solltet? ^^

“I walked into a police station that doesn’t exist and knew exactly where to go.”
That became the starting point for an essay about how games create place-memory. We don’t just remember stories—we remember spaces we’ve explored, mapped, and revisited, sometimes decades later.
What’s a fictional place you could still navigate from memory?

Don’t buy the Cultural Game Studies book! You will get it for free and the publisher hasn’t made that information available yet.

Avec @JulienBouvard nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la parution (après tant d'attente !) de notre ouvrage consacré à Clannad et aux cultures populaires japonaises.
C'est un objet plutôt original : un jeu vidéo qui réussit à faire pleurer, en activant tout un jeu de genre entre le masculin et le féminin... et qui permet de comprendre les logiques de la production japonaise contemporaine !
Le projet nous tient à cœur. On est très content de voir enfin publié. C'est aux Presses Universitaires de Liège : https://presses.uliege.be/produit/le-clavier-et-les-larmes/ et disponible chez votre libraire préféré.

I am proposing a new @wikidata property for the “visual style” of video games.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Visual_style
Quite proud of that one as it pulls together a lot of information from community databases, storefronts, Wikipedia, and academic research.

Over a year ago, I had the pleasure to participate in a game jam in the Danish city of Aarhus. It was part of the EPIC-WE project, in which young people in Denmark, Portugal and the Netherlands created games inspired by the values of the European Union.
Later, together with Rikke Toft Nørgård, Kim Holflod, Maarten Groen, and Paula Lopes, we wrote a text about these games. It was accepted at the Digital Games Research Association conference, which is starting soon, and now it can also be found online (before its official publication in the DiGRA Digital Library database).
If you remember Slavic beasts and music in “The Witcher 3”, you knows that video games can be important carriers of cultural heritage. The EPIC-WE project (in whose final phase I took part, collaborated informally on a few conference applications) explored how local, national, or regional heritage can be incorporated into games. I hope that publications of this kind will help us understand a little better how games promote or undermine existing cultural content, but also how they create culture itself.
The text can be downloaded from here: https://stanislawkrawczyk.pl/najnowsze-publikacje-recent-publications/. Its title is “Games with Culture: Using Cultural Heritage as Game-Making Material”, and the abstract is attached.

"In der deutschen Jugendsprache bedeutet das Wort „Para“ umgangssprachlich Geld." Ich kümmere mich ergo um Geldtexte. So einfach.
