Welcome to Video Games and Cultural Analysis version 2.0 (ENG 3612 Fall 2012). This class will take a 'literary' approach to analyzing games rather than the more common design-centric approach (ludology) or the purely narrative-centered approach (narratology).
Our method will be similar to reader response theory; we will be using existing philosophical and cultural studies texts to evaluate current games/trends in the gaming industry. The papers you produce in this class will be of high enough quality to submitted to academic conferences.
This is the second time that I have been able to teach this class at the University of Central Florida. If you are interested in the original class, check it out here: http://vgcultureucf.blogspot.com.
