This is the first volume to apply insights from the material turn
in philosophy to the study of play and games. At a time of renewed
interest in analogue gaming, as scholars are looking beyond the
digital and virtual for the first time since the inception of game
studies in the 1990s, Material Game Studies not only supports the
importance of the (re)turn to the analogue, but proposes a
materiality of play more broadly. Recognizing the entanglement of
physical materiality with cultural meaning, the authors in this
volume apply a range of theoretical approaches, from material
eco-criticism to animal studies, to examine games and play as
existing within worlds of matter. Different chapters focus on the
material properties of board, card and role-playing games, how they
are designed and made, how they are touched and played with, and
how they connect with other human and nonhuman things. Bringing
together international scholars, Material Game Studies defines a
new field of material game studies and demonstrates how it is a
valuable addition to wider debates about the material turn and the
place of embodied humans in a material world.
