[Commlist] CFP: Detective Fiction in Video Games Call for papers

This book is an edited collection of chapters about detective fiction in 
video games. Known primarily as a literary genre, detective fiction 
thrives in contemporary forms of media, such as video games, where 
authors experiment with a variety of settings and format. Whilst 
detective fiction has a rich history in literature, much less has been 
written about detective fiction in video games and this is one of the 
primary objectives of this book.

We seek contributions from academics (in all fields) that look at 
detective fiction in dialogue with video games. We are open to 
experimental and innovative approaches to what this might look like. 
Topics include but are not limited to transmedia, interactive 
storytelling, the experience of immersion, participatory culture, genre 
coding and transnational adaptation. We are responding to the cultural 
renaissance of detective fiction in contemporary culture and seek to 
look at how that crosses over into video games.

If you are interested in contributing, we would like a 200-300 word 
abstract by the end of January 2025, followed by a full chapter of 
6000-7000 words.

For abstract submission and further questions please contact Dr Dean 
Bowman (d.bowman /at/ norwichuni.ac.uk) or Dr James McLean (j.s.mclean /at/ hull.ac.uk)
