[Commlist] Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds 16.2 published - Special Issue ‘Games, Books and Gamebooks’

Intellect is pleased to present Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds 16.2!


Special Issue: ‘Games, Books and Gamebooks’


Games and books, understood in the broadest possible sense, interrelate 
in numerous different ways. Books and games can take each other’s form; 
they inspire and augment, expand and specify, contextualize and 
transform one another. We can ‘read’ games, and we can ‘play’ books. 
This Special Issue discusses game-book hybrids, gamebooks, as complex 
entities worthy of their own attention. The focus is specifically on the 
intersections of games and books (instead of, for instance, games and 
literature, or games and narratives) as these offer a site for a 
fruitful cross-disciplinary work.
