2013

Peliteollisuuden suosio kasvaa jatkuvasti. Ihmiset pelaavat yhä enemmän, joten on aiheellista tutkia itse pelejä. Niitä on tutkittu monelta eri näkökannalta, kuten millaisissa rooleissa mies- ja naispelihahmot ovat toisiinsa verrattuna, miten hahmot kuvataan ja miten ne vastaavat todellisuutta.

Tutkimuksen perustana käytettiin identiteetin intersektionaalisuutta. Tutkimuksessa verrattiin edellä mainittuja pelejä keskenään ja tutkimustuloksia verrattiin olemas…

Injustice in the Ruins and a Disordered Post-Apocalypse: Gothic Ideology in the Digital Game World of Fallout 3

2020

The Gothic is an influential source for storytelling in a wide range of digital games. Thus far, interpreting it in games and how they are informed by Gothic ideology has been little studied.

‘Whose were those feelings?’ : Affect and likenessing in Halat hisar live action role-playing game

2021

Halat hisar was a live action role-playing game (larp) organized in Finland in 2016. Halat hisar’s ambition as a larp was to mirror the current situation in Palestine. In larps, participants take on different roles and improvise without the presence of an audience. Larps offer a place where emotions and affectivities are transmitted through the embodiment of characters. Larps offer forms of likenessing, which create new affective states for the players. We conclude that larps can be powerful tools for portraying political alternatives of actual events, and they can serve a role in raising awareness. Larps offer a productive context for studying subjectivities where the focus is on affectiv…
