“Oh, the places you’ll go: The Politics of Place in Globalized Gaming Landscapes”
In conjunction with this year’s Congress 2009 theme “Nation,Terroir, Territoire,” we invite applications that are concerned in broad terms with notions of community, identity and social/cultural politics in relation to digital games. Topics include, but are by no means limited to:
– work and play in virtual worlds
– gaming communities, both local and global
– contexts of play
– gender, race, nationality, sexuality in relation to games and gameplayers
Abstracts no longer than 500 words for full paper presentations are invited. Panel presentation proposals will also be considered and should include an overview of the panel, and short abstracts of 100-250 words for each panel presentation. Proposals should be sent to Dr. Jennifer Jenson at jjenson@edu.yorku.ca no later than January 31, 2009.
