[Commlist] Eludamos new issue published vol. 14 no. 1: Futures of Games and Game Studies

Thu Dec 14 22:30:25 GMT 2023





On behalf of the editorial team at /Eludamos: Journal for Computer Game Culture/, I am delighted to announce that we have just published our latest issue!

You can find the issue at eludamos.org <https://septentrio.uit.no/index.php/eludamos/index>, or with the issue’s DOI: https://doi.org/10.7557/23.141 <https://doi.org/10.7557/23.141>

This issue of /Eludamos /is aimed at reflecting upon both the present state and possible futures of games, game studies, and the world. The papers collected here contribute to an engaged and open-ended social critique not only attempting to achieve improved understanding (negative critical mode) but also trying to actively question and change conditions identified as problematic (positive reconstructive mode). For this purpose, we have gathered seven scholarly articles, one book review, and one commentary that all address potential futures of games, play, game development, and game studies from critical and (re)constructive vantage points.
