Video and interactive computer games now constitute an enormous
industry that rivals television and film. Moreover, gaming is of
growing importance in spheres beyond mere entertainment; games and
gaming technology are increasingly applied to other ends, including
for educational, political, and military purposes. Perhaps
unsurprisingly, therefore, the cultural, social, and economic
significance of games and gaming is now profound, and ripe for
scholarly scrutiny and study. As research continues to flourish as
never before, this major new reference resource from Routledge's
Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies series offers a
multi-dimensional overview of games and gaming culture and brings
together in four volumes the very best foundational and
cutting-edge scholarship. Edited by the field's leading scholar,
Mark J. P. Wolf, the collection encompasses the socio-cultural,
political, and economic dimensions of gaming from a wide variety of
perspectives. The materials gathered explore issues of game design
and development, provide close analysis of games as cultural
artefacts, and address issues of policy, such as those related to
race, class, gender, and sexuality. Video Games and Gaming Culture
is supplemented by a comprehensive index and includes a full
introduction, newly written by the editor.
