[Commlist] Call for abstracts Space and Place in Virtual Worlds

Our call for abstracts closes this Friday (8^th  July). Our conference 
to start the academic year 2022/2023 on the 12th of September and is 
focused upon the theme of space and place. The conference will be an 
online event.

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)

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 ‘Space and Place’.

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

  * Virtual worlds and shifting environments
  * Relationships between the avatar and space
  * Gaming homes – when playable characters are rooted to one place
  * How gaming places shift through time (travel)
  * Futuristic spaces – utopian or dystopian?
  * The architecture of cyberpunk games
  * The gamer as an architect – creating spaces through play

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