dc.description | Taught by Toni Bushner, This course offered a deep dive on the fascinating intersections of race and gender with interactive media. The class began with an exploration of the queer experience of failure and its use as an interactive metaphor for passing. Next, they explored the role of representation and embodiment in interactive media: from depictions of the “other” in games like Fallout and Fable to the connections between orientalism and the foundations of game studies to the at-hand nature of colonialist narratives in games, they explored the intersection of race and interactive media. The semester ended with a discussion on game industry labor issues, gaming culture’s problem with harassment (ala Gamergate & its connections to the alt-right movement), and a brief look at game accessibility. | en_US |
