A critical discussion of the experience and theory of flow (as
conceptualized by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) in video games. Flow--as
conceptualized by the psychologist Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi--describes an experience of being in the zone, of
intense absorption in an activity. It is a central concept in the
study of video games, although often applied somewhat uncritically.
In Against Flow, Braxton Soderman takes a step back and offers a
critical assessment of flow's historical, theoretical, political,
and ideological contexts in relation to video games. With close
readings of games that implement and represent flow, Soderman not
only evaluates the concept of flow in terms of video games but also
presents a general critique of flow and its sibling, play.
