[Commlist] CFP: Gothic Games and Disturbing Play Conference

MultiPlay's call for abstracts for the Gothic Games and Disturbing Play 
conference closes on the 16^th  September. The conference takes place on 
the 26^th  of October and will be free and online.

We are currently seeking abstracts for conference presentations, focused 
upon horror games, disturbing play, and even horror fan communities. A 
fan of Resident Evil? Want to talk about the ethics of play in The 
Walking Dead? Now is your chance! Presentations will last twenty 
minutes, with a ten-minute question and answer session at the end of 
each slot. *We are currently seeking abstracts to be submitted to 
(networkmultiplay /at/ gmail.com) by Friday 16th September.*

*We ask for submissions to consist of a 300 word (maximum) proposal*, 
including references using the Harvard reference style guide, as well as 
a short author biography of no more than 100 words. These should be 
emailed to (networkmultiplay /at/ gmail.com) with the heading ‘Gothic Games’.

Some prompts for abstracts include (but in no way should limit submissions):

  * The mechanics of horror games
  * Constructing Gothic games
  * Labyrinths and tombs in video games
  * Horror games and their relationship to environmentalism
  * Body horror, particularly related to playable characters
  * Death and/or resurrection in horror games
  * The high prevalence of pandemic games

If you have any further questions, please email (networkmultiplay /at/ gmail.com)
