Friday 3rd December
What did we do?
'Close Reading'
"Our approach to critical play"
(Auto)ethnographic Close Reading
- The studies of what humans are doing and why they are doing it
- Analyse personal, situated, embodied experiences to contribute to cultural knowledges.
- Facilitate text-centric analysis, without minimizing the player's role as a creative collaborator.
- Unpicking & unpacking
- Mindful meta-interpretation
- Power, values, omissions, aberrations
- What assumptions are made? What is presented as normal/unmarked?
Gameplay Experience
