Games design and cultural dynamics : an approach to the cultural role of Japanese video games through procedural rhetoric

Producción científica: Contribución a una revista › Artículo › Investigación › revisión exhaustiva

Resumen

En el ámbito de la disciplina de Game Studies, el videojuego japonés es uno de los principales objetos de investigación debido a su papel histórico en la conformación moderna del medio. A pesar de ello, los estudios centrados en dilucidar su relación con la creación de imágenes sobre el Japón moderno son escasos. Este artículo propone aproximarse a este fenómeno mediante las herramientas metodológicas desarrolladas por Ian Bogost y Gonzalo Frasca, agrupadas aquí bajo el término de "retórica de procedimientos". De esta forma, se espera comprobar su utilidad para dilucidar los elementos en común clave entre el videojuego japonés y las actuales dinámicas culturales.
