▼ Dreams are important to simulate possible scenarios of success and failure to maximize adaptive success of the individual, by way of risk-less learning able to guide waking behavior. We performed two different experiments using: (1) the examination for admission to the university; (2) a videogame simulation of a prey-predator conflict. For experiment (1), we compared the answers in a questionnaire of 255 candidates to the UFRN 2010 examination (n = 255) with performance. Dreams related to the examination were reported by 44.3% of the participants, and their occurrence was associated with higher scores of fear and apprehension, and major changes in daily life, mood and sleep. We found a positive correlation between changes in daily life and performance among those who dreamed about the examination. In experiment (2), we used as a task a first person shooter videogame. For each session, two participants played against each other, one in the role of Predator (seek and kill the opponent), and the other in the role of Prey (find and collect items); both participants were monitored electrophysiologically (EEG, ECG, EOG e EMG). Most of the volunteers (53.8%, n = 26) reported dreams related to the game. Dreaming with the task was associated with increased mean heart activity during game playing. Preys who dreamt about the game showed gains in a quantitative score of Goal achievement, while those who did not dream presented score losses. Analyses of cardiac variability and sleep patterns showed greater stress among Preys. Dreaming about the game was related to decreased aggressive behavior towards the Predator, with more efficient foraging, an apparent optimization of the fight-or-flight response. Finally, we found an association between oneiric activity and the reduction of violent interactions between the participants from Training to Test, which suggests a social function for dreams in humans. Altogether, the experiments support the notion that dreams related to waking-life challenges play an adaptive role.

▼ At a time when the proliferation of videogame ownership and practice has led to greater attention on the consequences of increased engagement with these texts, schools and educators are engaged in active debate regarding their potential value and use. The distinctive nature of these texts, especially in contrast to those texts which have traditionally dominated school environments, has raised questions about their possible affordances, as well as the pedagogies most appropriate for supporting teaching with and through these texts in the classroom. While much has been written about the learning benefits of videogames, especially in terms of opportunities for the negotiation of self (Gee, 2003), there has been less research addressing the impact of applying existing English subject-specific pedagogies to their study. In particular, there are few case-study investigations into the suitability of subject-English classrooms for the play and study of videogames. The project utilised a naturalistic case-study intervention involving eight 15-year-old students at a co-educational school in the outer-Northern suburbs of Melbourne. Data was collected during a five-week intervention in an English classroom context at the participants’ home-school. This involved the teacher-researcher leading a series of learning and teaching activities informed by dominant models of subject-English (Cox, 1989), Cultural Heritage, Skills, Personal Growth, and Critical Literacy, that focussed on several popular videogames. Data was analysed using Bourdieu’s theory of practice (1977) to reveal a social reality at the centre of this intervention co-created by a dialectical relationship between the habitus of students (especially in terms of their videogame, school and gendered identities) and the field of the classroom, with its own historically constituted and legitimised/authorised ways of being and doing textual study, as realised by the teacher. Mediating this relationship were the intrinsic features of videogames. The findings are presented through a Framework for Videogame Literacies in Subject-English which synthesises the relationship concerning past and present approaches to textual study in the subject, and the need to embrace what Locke terms, an “informed and critical eclecticism” (2015, p. 25). Firstly, the study found that the inclusion of videogames in subject-English provided the material for rich, rigorous and authentic learning experiences. Much of this can be achieved through the appropriation of existing paradigms of subject-English and their associated pedagogical practices, resisting the privileging of any single component of the framework and instead encouraging an awareness of the different purposes which each part serves. Secondly, analysis demonstrated the ways in which dominant approaches to the subject must evolve in response to the unique design features and intrinsic textual practices associated with these texts. Lastly, the study revealed that attempts to bring these texts into English classrooms will need to…

Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura

Os videojogos tem-se revelado uma área em exponencial evolução nos últimos anos. Uma área que tem criado, também, uma estreita relação com a arquitetura quer sob o ponto de vista do seu processo de conceção quer sob o ponto de vista da necessidade de criar espaços habitáveis. Principalmente desde que a experiência dos lugares passou a afetar e a integrar, organicamente tanto a narrativa como o universo criado para cada videojogo, tornando-se assim pertinente entendêlos sob o ponto de vista da organização, do espaço e de como o jogador se apropria deste, bem como da sua perceção do mesmo. Este trabalho começa então por criar um enquadramento cronológico, necessário, de todo o desenvolvimento gráfico dos videojogos desde o seu aparecimento, aspeto que, tal como outros estudados neste trabalho, tem estado afastado da investigação académica. Descrevendo-se em seguida, todo o processo de conceção de um videojogo, no que diz respeito ao level design e, principalmente, do ponto de vista do espaço e da arquitetura. De modo a enquadrar este processo de trabalho em casos práticos, são analisados alguns exemplos de videojogos, organizados segundo uma categorização própria e representativa dos vários tipos de espaços apresentados. Tipos de espaços esses, organizados em quatro grandes grupos: o não espaço; o espaço Existente; o espaço idealizado e o espaço expectante. Por fim, de modo a validar a caracterização feita e analisar as características espaciais, estéticas e estruturais de cada tipo de videojogo são realizados testes de usabilidade com vários jogadores. Apurando-se assim o grau de perceção dos jogadores em relação ao espaço de cada videojogo, com o objetivo de perceber de que modo a arquitetura influencia a experiência de jogo de cada utilizador. Para estes testes são usados dois grupos distintos de jogadores, gamers comuns e gamers com noções de arquitetura.Demonstra-se, portanto, que apesar de grande parte dos jogadores não prestarem atenção às características espaciais e estruturais dos videojogos, estes reagem inconscientemente a vários estímulos espaciais, propositados ou não, existentes nos mesmos. É esta conceção arquitetónica que dita a organização espacial dos níveis nos videojogos, concebe os elementos que os compõem, define a sua estética e serve como elemento condutor da narrativa. Com este trabalho lançam-se as bases para possíveis investigações futuras acerca do papel da arquitetura na indústria dos videojogos bem como são respondidas as perguntas base que compõem a sua génese: “que papel tem a arquitetura no design de um videojogo?”; “será o espaço virtual pensado de forma semelhante ao espaço real?”; “serão os arquitetos importantes no processo de design de um videojogo?”.

Videogames have gradually been turning into an ever growing evolutionary field over the years. And with that, creating a strict relation with architecture, not only through the similar development bases but from the need of creating habitable spaces as well. Mainly since the experience of spaces…

O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar o estágio atual do jornalismo de games e apontar novas perspectivas para sua abordagem crítica. Mesmo reconhecido como um dos setores da indústria de entretenimento mais promissores neste novo milênio, o universo dos videogames tem recebido ainda uma atenção proporcional pouco representativa nos meios de comunicação de massa se comparados a formatos mais tradicionais como o cinema e a música. No contexto atual, boa parte da cobertura de games permanece confinada a publicações especializadas e a cadernos de informática. Para levar adiante esta análise será necessário antes de tudo traçar um panorama histórico do desenvolvimento dos jogos eletrônicos. Surgidos há quase 50 anos, numa tentativa de transformar os computadores em algo divertido, os videogames foram ganhando complexidade com os sucessivos avanços tecnológicos até se transformarem em um dos objetos culturais mais instigantes da virada do século 20 para o 21. Presentes na vida dos jovens de praticamente todas as sociedades nas últimas duas décadas, os games passaram a influenciar e a serem influenciados por outras linguagens estéticas da cultura popular, como o cinema, a música, os desenhos animados e as histórias em quadrinhos. Hoje, como defendem à sua maneira autores como Chris Crawford, Steven Poole e Henry Jenkins, os games representam uma categoria cultural autônoma, com características específicas que exigem formulações teóricas e conceituais própria. Após um passeio pela evolução tecnológica e cultural dos videogames, iremos nos debruçar sobre as principais publicações do gênero, que incluem revistas especializadas, como a Electronic Gaming Monthly, sites de notícias e reviews (ou resenhas), como GameSpot.com e IGN.com, além de blogs e outras ferramentas de internet que mais recentemente se juntaram ao chamado jornalismo de games. Ainda nesse segmento, pretendemos apontar os principais problemas enfrentados para que o jornalismo de games deixe de desempenhar o papel meramente utilitário que tradicionalmente ocupou e passe a dar conta das camadas culturais, sociais e econômicas que se atrelaram ao universo dos jogos nas últimas décadas. (Algo que, paradoxalmente, veículos da imprensa não-especializada, como The New York Times, Wired e outros tem realizado com maior eficiência). Por fim, relacionaremos também alguns exemplos de como uma crítica bem informada de games pode se beneficiar de recursos formais da literatura, como é o caso do controverso new games journalism, além de conceitos que vem sendo debatidos na Academia como narrativas (Murray), simulação (Frasca), meaningful play (Salen e Zimmerman) e software (Galloway, Manovich)

The goal of this study is to analise the actual stage of games journalism and point to new perspectives regarding its critical approach. Even though recognized as one of the most promising sectors of the entertainment industry in the new millenium, the universe of the videogames is still receiving a not so representative attention from the mass communication vehicles if compared…

O objetivo desta dissertação passou por analisar e explicar um dos fenómenos mais populares associados ao mundo dos videojogos, o modding. O seu objetivo era perceber qual o impacto do modding nos jogadores portugueses, qual a sua percepção acerca do conceito, como é que ele modifica os seus padrões de consumo, o que pode ser alterado e melhorado no panorama atual do modding e qual o futuro do modding de videojogos, e também perceber de que forma é que o background de cada jogador influência a sua postura em relação ao modding. Esta dissertação foi dividida em duas componentes. A componente teórica onde foi feita uma análise sobre a evoluções e mudanças que potenciaram o crescimento da indústria dos videojogos e que possibilitaram o aparecimento de fenómenos como o modding, e ainda uma análise ao modding em si e às suas aplicações e implicações na indústria. A componente prática visou, através da realização de um conjunto de catorze entrevistas, tentar perceber qual a dimensão e a importância do modding entre os jogadores portugueses, e como o seu background com os videojogos pode influenciar a sua visão do modding. Os resultados obtidos mostraram-nos que, atualmente, as preferências pessoais dos jogadores no que toca a plataformas ou géneros de jogos têm mais peso na forma como condicionam a sua visão e a sua relação com o modding de videojogos, foi possível verificar que para os entrevistados o modding serve também como alternativa, ou escape, a algumas políticas, praticadas pela indústria, e que são menos favoráveis para os jogadores. Esta dissertação presenteou-nos ainda com uma visão sobre a chamada cultura participativa, uma visão algo oposta à visão otimista que costuma estar associada a esse termo, uma vez que a análise aos entrevistados revelou que todos já tinham consumido mods mas nenhum tentou criá-los.

The aim of this work was to analyze and explain one of the most popular phenomena associated with the world of video games, modding. The goal was to understand the impact of modding among Portuguese players, what their perception about the concept was, how it changed their consumption patterns, find out what could be changed and improved in the current panorama of modding and what the future of videogame modding could hold. We also wanted to find out if the background of each player, in relation to their use of videogames, could influence their attitude, and their views, towards modding. This dissertation was divided into two components. The theoretical component which carried out an analysis of the developments and changes that boosted the growth of the gaming industry and allowed the emergence of phenomena such as modding, and also an analysis of modding and its applications and implications for the industry. The practical component aimed to conducting a series of interviews in order to figure out the importance of modding among Portuguese players, and how their individual backgrounds with video games could influence their views on modding. The results showed us that, currently, the personal…

▼ This thesis investigates military simulation environments, in order to shed light on the productive ways in which digital and non-digital realities inform and transform each other. Cultural geographers and cultural theorists have done much in recent decades to challenge the naive naturalism that relegates digital technologies to a secondary representation of reality. Non-representational geographers have challenged the very distinction between an essential, pre-given reality and its representations, while post-structuralist theories have theorised the role of technologies in the production of reality. This thesis contributes to these debates by analysing the development of habit in the context of military simulation and military-themed videogames. The military context has provided significant impetus for the development of these novel technologies and is highly instructive when seeking to understand human-technological relations and the development of embodied habits. Through interviews with tank operators and military-themed videogamers, the thesis seeks to understand the relationship between digital and non-digital realities, without predetermining and judging them on the basis of their conformity with a narrowed understanding of the real. At a time when technology evokes both promise and angst, the thesis returns to Martin Heidegger's work, not in order to pursue his critique of technology, but to understand the distinct modalities through which humans grant intelligibility to non-human reality. Ultimately, however, Heidegger's thought can only take us so far in terms of understanding the complex reality that provides the context of our relation with the technological. It is through Gilles Deleuze's more virtual and radically differential ontology that I am able to open up the problem of our encounter with the digital more fully. A Deleuzian reading of the recently translated work of Felix Ravaisson on habit directs the more abstract problem of the human/technological encounter toward the precise problem of simulated learning environments. Inflecting the empirical content of the thesis through these thinkers, I argue that learning through military simulation is always more complex and productive than a representational account would allow. I suggest that the richness of such environments for the social sciences lies in the microcosm they provide for understanding diverse encounters germane to contemporary reality.

▼ This thesis investigates an intersection of broadcasting and watching videogame performance (over internet-based platforms, such as Twitch.tv), and the play of videogames. My focus is the broadcast of professional gaming, or electronic sport (e-sport), a now salient aspect of contemporary videogame culture. Through a case study of Valve Corporation’s game Dota 2 (2013) and its e-sports scene (drawing on empirical material from my own viewing and play experience, interviews and player data analytics), I stage an inquiry into the status of ‘everyday’ videogame play with, through and amidst broadcast e-sport. Particularly, I am occupied with examining how spectators of e-sport shape habitual capacities or skills in their own play (by variously engaging with broadcasts of expert performance). I consider these skills and habits in terms of the space and time produced by human bodies using gaming technologies, mobilising the post-phenomenological philosophy of Bernard Stiegler to guide my analyses. Drawing from studies of games, media and technology, this thesis advances the argument that while game experience traverses bodily and material domains (a perspective sustained in studies of games for some time), we also need to take seriously how objects outside the context of a player-software-hardware ‘circuit’ might intervene in play. I contend that broadcast e-sport apprehends the complex processes of virtuosic play, which can then become enfolded into the mundane encounters that ‘everyday’ players have with videogames. Taking seriously the materially specific ways that e-sports frame expertise, and how various ways of doing or being emerge from this framing for those who watch, is something which no research to date has examined, and represents an original contribution to knowledge. This case study has broader value in offering a helpful epistemological model for challenging dominant formulations of how players form habits and accumulate skills in videogames. In the current literature, limited study has been done on the ways that the experience of play is shaped by the ancillary practices and objects outside the material context of the game. By looking at the contemporary site of broadcast e-sport, I am providing a more complete account of the practices and experiences of skill building around extrinsic game material.

O trabalho propõe uma análise de relações possíveis entre videogames e construção de sentidos, buscando discutir diferentes abordagens e perspectivas teóricas que possam contribuir no entendimento do videogame enquanto objeto de estudo acadêmico. Indo além de uma perspectiva que possa restringi-lo a um exemplar contemporâneo de uma noção mais abstrata de jogo, abordo-o enquanto um objeto epistêmico (KNORR CETINA 2001) participante de constelações de saberes (SANTOS ET AL 2005) que podem entrar em conflito entre si. Isso, em uma sociedade em que a primazia do prestígio de práticas e conhecimentos científicos é marcante. Para tanto, busco enfatizar mais especificamente ao menos duas outras dimensões do videogame: sua materialidade enquanto mídia contemporânea e sua potencialidade, enquanto artefato cultural, em gerar efeitos sociais e discursivos específicos. Dentro disso, pontuo elementos que ajudam a problematizar como a especificidade técnica, cultural e de linguagem presente no que se entende atualmente como videogame pode dar formas a saberes e sentidos construídos na contingência do uso de tal artefato por seus jogadores. Essa questão mais ampla se efetivou em estudos exploratórios por meio de duas formas de análise: a observação de registros escritos em um fórum de fãs de futebol a respeito, basicamente, de um simulador do esporte (o Football Manager); entrevistas com quatro participantes desse fórum que tinham ou tiveram no uso do videogame em questão uma prática corrente. Isso, tendo como norte, principalmente, os seguintes pontos: i) de que modo a experiência situada e específica com o videogame pode se tornar pública ou manifesta em outros contextos; ii) que relações o jogador pode perceber, defender ou estabelecer contrapondo saberes e sentidos surgidos de uma interação com o videogame com saberes mais canônicos e esperados em contextos públicos e comunitários do qual participa iii) qual a função ou efeito essas experiências com videogames quando compartilhadas em situações concretas, socialmente inseridas, mas que não a de sua prática podem vir a exercer em comunidades mais amplas (ou seja, que envolvam sujeitos que não são jogadores de videogame). Tais estudos indicam que o videogame é percebido e utilizado por seus jogadores como um espaço diferenciado do futebol profissional, que seu uso enquanto fonte de saber na comunidade analisada é concreto embora não seja consensualmente validado e que essa falta de consenso não o impede de ser uma forma de conhecimento defendida e utilizada por diversos membros do grupo, influenciando as opiniões e perspectivas em debate no espaço em questão. Assim, deve-se considerar que videogames podem ter papel na construção das realidades que envolvem o sujeito, o que não resulta em confusão entre a prática de interagir com videogames e a prática social em outros contextos

The aim of this research is to analyze potential connections between videogames and meaningmaking through the discussion of different approaches and theoretical perspectives that might contribute to…

▼ As alteracoes na percepcao da passagem do tempo dos seres humanos tem sido investigadas em relacao as caracteristicas de diversos estimulos, condicoes corporais ou determinados tipos de tarefa. Porem, pouco se sabe sobre essas alteracoes como funcao das contingencias reforcadoras ou punitivas que controlam o comportamento. Este estudo visou investigar essa questao experimentalmente atraves do uso de um jogo virtual em computador simulando percursos de um avatar em um labirinto com 36 situacoes de escolha entre esquerda e direita. Pontos poderiam ser ganhos ou perdidos, sendo a pontuacao final convertida em titulos de nobreza hipoteticos dentro de um ranking previamente estabelecido. Tres contingencias foram manipuladas: sob Punicao (P) escolhas erradas entre direita e esquerda produziam perda de pontos; sob Reforcamento (R) escolhas certas produziam ganho de pontos; na condicao Controle (C) nao havia alteracao nos pontos. No Experimento 1 (n=60), tres grupos foram manipulados, cada um exposto a uma dessas contingencias; no Experimento 1A (n=40) novos participantes passaram pelas condicoes P e R, porem com uma alteracao na instrucao explicitando o nao perigo de morte do avatar; no Experimento 2 (n=6), cada participante foi exposto as tres condicoes experimentais, sendo manipulada a ordem de exposicao: C-P-R e C-R-P. Cada participante foi solicitado a estimar o tempo que permaneceu jogando: nos dois primeiros estudos essa solicitacao foi feita apenas apos o termino do jogo (estimativa retrospectiva); no ultimo os participantes foram informados ao inicio da primeira sessao experimental que essa solicitacao lhes seria feita ao final de cada sessao (estimativa prospectiva). Da mesma forma, ao final da sessao no Experimentos 1 e 1A, e ao final de cada sessao no Experimento 2, foi solicitada aos participantes uma avaliacao do jogo, com pontuacoes crescentes proporcionais ao grau de diversao em joga-lo. Os resultados mostraram que no Experimento 1 a condicao P produziu tempo de sessao maior que na condicao C e a condicao R produziu tempo de sessao menor do que na condicao C, sendo que no Experimento 1A as diferencas se reduziram; no Experimento 2 esse tempo foi sendo reduzido na sucessao das contingencias, independente da ordem utilizada. Nos experimentos 1 e 1A os participantes superestimaram a duracao da sessao de jogo na condicao R, e as condicoes C e P produziram estimativas proximas a duracao real. No Experimento 2 a condicao R tambem esteve associada a superestimativas na maioria dos participantes, porem sua relacao com os resultados obtidos em C e P varia entre os participantes. A magnitude da consequencia se mostrou uma variavel relevante no efeito da punicao, que foi menos acentuado no Experimento 1A. A apreciacao do jogo pelos sujeitos foi, no geral, mais positiva para a condicao P. Esses resultados apontam a interacao das contingencias operantes na percepcao temporal, sendo discutida tambem a aparente independencia entre o efeito operante da punicao e o relato verbal sobre a diversao inerente a atividade… Advisors/Committee Members: Hunziker, Maria Helena Leite.
