Video Game Characters

Aubrie Adams (University of California, Santa Barbara), Co-Editor

The field of game studies has grown substantially since the turn of the
century, and yet the field lacks rigorous reference collections on the
cultural significance of video game franchises or characters. Such
reference collections are needed as it can be difficult for even
well-versed scholars to keep track of the range and complexity of the
many significant franchises and characters that populate the industry.

Hence, we are seeking essays for two companion edited collections: the
first is on the cultural and historical significance of 100 video game
franchises; the second is on the cultural and historical significance of
100 video game characters. These two edited collections will be
published by Rowman & Littlefield in early 2017.

For the full call for proposals for each edited collection, please refer

Deadline for Abstracts: November 1st, 2015

Notification of Acceptance: December 1st, 2015
