Video Game Chronotopes and Social Justice examines how the
chronotope, which literally means "timespace," is an effective
interpretive lens through which to understand the cultural and
ideological significance of video games. Using 'slow readings'
attuned to deconstruction along the lines of post-structuralist
theory, gender studies, queer studies, continental philosophy, and
critical theory, Mike Piero exposes the often-overlooked misogyny,
heteronormativity, racism, and patriarchal structures present in
many Triple-A video games through their arrangement of timespace
itself. Beyond understanding time and space as separate mechanics
and dimensions, Piero reunites time and space through the analysis
of six chronotopes-of the bonfire, the abject, the archipelago, the
fart as pharmakon, madness, and coupled love-toward a poetic
meaning making that is at the heart of play itself, all in
affirmation of life, equity, and justice.
