Tese (doutorado) - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Humanas e da Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Florianópolis, 2017.

Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar como se constitui o brincar com videogame numa brinquedoteca escolar identificando e problematizando as relações tecidas entre crianças e outros atores envolvidos nos seus cotidianos, buscando, por meio das vozes das crianças, compreender os impactos dessa forma contemporânea de brincar na construção das culturas infantis. Desenvolvida na linha de pesquisa Educação, Comunicação e Tecnologia, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (Udesc), vinculada ao projeto Tablets, computadores e laptops: análise sobre políticas, infraestrutura e aspectos pedagógicos da inserção de novas tecnologias na escola (Observatório da Educação Obeduc/Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Ensino Superior Capes) e realizada com base em uma perspectiva etnográfica, a pesquisa de campo acompanhou 44 crianças (de 6 a 9 anos), estudantes dos Anos Iniciais do ensino fundamental do Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), nos momentos em que frequentavam a brinquedoteca dessa instituição. Os instrumentos metodológicos utilizados foram: observação, diário de campo, metodologias visuais (vídeos), entrevistas individuais e em grupo. A pesquisa fundamentou-se nos pressupostos dos estudos da criança, especialmente nos estudos que vêm sendo feitos nesse campo sobre as culturas infantis e a cultura lúdica, e inseriu-se numa tendência que busca o aprofundamento do estatuto da criança enquanto ator social, que com sua ação e na relação com os adultos e seus pares contribui para a construção e reconstrução das culturas infantis. Mediante as análises das vozes das crianças, quis-se superar explicações deterministas e essencialistas acerca da relação das crianças e mídias digitais, promovendo uma análise das formas como esses discursos são mobilizados e retrabalhados pelas crianças em suas práticas cotidianas. Essa escolha oportunizou dar visibilidade aos mundos sociais e culturais das crianças, além de levar em consideração a escassez ou quase inexistência de estudos em que o ângulo da abordagem se desloca do estudo dos videogames ou sobre os efeitos deles nas crianças, para olhar o que jogam e como jogam. As conclusões da pesquisa são sintetizadas em quatro eixos: a) as transformações e adaptações que as crianças promovem na brinquedoteca escolar, onde é permitido brincar, destacando as tensões e sutilezas das relações entre dois componentes do ofício da criança o brincar e o estudar; b) as aprendizagens que as crianças têm construído na relação com os seus pares e com os videogames; c) o videogame como uma forma de brincar contemporânea; d) as relações intra e intergeracionais envolvidas nessa brincadeira contemporânea, com destaque a dois temas que se repetiram com frequência durante a pesquisa: vício e violência. Ressalta-se também o papel importante…

O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar os impactos do hábito de jogar Videogames comerciais e da Hipercultura, nas habilidades necessárias para a vida profissional de administradores com educação superior no Século 21. A partir da Teoria da Mediação Cognitiva e de diferentes princípios de Educação Adulta, foi demonstrado que a Hipercultura se expande e desenvolve através dos Videogames. Ao todo, 348 estudantes de Graduação em Administração, da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, em Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil, foram entrevistados durante a segunda metade de 2016. Os dados resultantes foram submetidos às técnicas SSA e Teoria das Facetas de forma a obter uma visão multidimensional sintética das interações complexas subjacentes ao fenômeno em questão. Os resultados indicaram que: a) os videojogos parecem ser uma extensão da Hipercultura; b) a Hipercultura e os Videogames têm efeitos significativos e atuam de forma diferenciadas no desenvolvimento de capacidades que são de grande relevância para os executivos no Século 21, e; c) os processos sociocognitivos envolvidos nesta dinâmica promovem e se alinham com as dimensões da personalidade preconizadas pela série Divergente, notadamente, Erudite, Candor, Amity, Abnegation e Dauntless.

The present study aims to investigate the impact of the habit of playing commercial Videogames and Hyperculture in the development of skills necessary for the professional life of administrators with higher education in the 21st Century. From the Theory of Cognitive Mediation and different principles of Education Adult, it has been proposed that Hyperculture expands and develops through Videogames. A total of 348 undergraduate students in Business Administration at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, were interviewed during the second half of 2016. The resulting data was subjected to the SSA and Facet Theory techniques in order to obtain a synthetic multidimensional view of the complex interactions underlying the phenomena in question. The results indicated that: a) video games appear to be an extension of Hyperculture; b) Hyperculture and Videogames have significant effects and act differently in the development of capacities that are of great relevance to executives in the 21st century; c) the sociocognitive processes involved in this dynamic promote and align with the dimensions of personality suggested by the Divergent Series, namely, Erudite, Candor, Amity, Abnegation e Dauntless.

▼ 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.

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…

▼ Video game playing (vgp) has become a popular and widespread form of entertainment over the past two decades. This form of media is now popular with children, adolescents, and adults alike. While most early research on the effects of vgp focused on the relation of violence in video games and expressions of aggression, more recent research has begun to explore possible beneficial effects of vgp. Study results have been inconsistent, with some suggesting that vgp may improve various cognitive skills such as spatial skills, attentional skills, executive control, and problem solving. Other studies refute or qualify these findings. Additionally, different types of games have been related to improvements in differing cognitive skills. A lack of consistency in vgp training programs and an abundance of correlational rather than causational studies have made interpretation of vgp training results murky at best. The current study aimed to clarify possible causal relationships between vgp and changes in cognitive skill. Novice game players were trained on two different vgp genres (strategy and action-shooter) and administered pre- and post-test batteries of cognitive skill. Forty-nine female participants played 20 hours of a randomly assigned video-game over the course of ten weeks and completed multiple cognitive skills tests pre- and post-study. Individuals who played the first-person shooter-style game exhibited significant improvements in attention, working memory, visuospatial skills, processing speed, and problem-solving. Individuals playing the strategy style game demonstrated significant improvements in working memory, problem-solving, and visuospatial skills as well. Both groups exhibited a decline in self-reported willingness to engage in social conversation following the training paradigm but no cognitive skill declines were observed. These findings have implications for the utility of commercial video-games as a cognitive skill building tool. They also support the potential efficacy of electronic media as a potentially useful means of addressing cognitive deficits while also remaining highly engaging and motivating for individuals to utilize.

▼ 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…

Este estudo aborda o desenvolvimento das interfaces de hardware humano-jogo, com ênfase nos consoles de games. Enquanto a maior parte da literatura existente sobre o tema tem como foco os condicionantes tecnológicos desse desenvolvimento, neste trabalho foram buscados também outros fatores, extrínsecos ou complementares, como os socioculturais, políticos e econômicos. Para tanto, optou-se pelo levantamento de dados sobre as interfaces e sobre seus contextos de desenvolvimento, conforme uma abordagem diacrônica. Os procedimentos utilizados no estudo incluem pesquisa bibliográfica, construção de uma linha do tempo das interfaces e consoles de videogame, análise dos dados com foco na identificação de padrões e fatores influentes. Entre os resultados deste estudo destacam-se a construção de uma linha do tempo das interfaces de hardware para consoles de games e a demonstração de que uma compreensão apropriada e aprofundada depende de que os fatores que influenciam o desenvolvimento daqueles artefatos tecnológicos não sejam considerados isoladamente. Demonstrou-se que os diferentes tipos de fatores influenciadores do desenvolvimento daquelas interfaces atuam em conjunto e em uma articulação complexa, à qual a indústria dos videogames responde e retroalimenta.

This study addresses the development of human-game hardware interfaces, with an emphasis on game consoles. While most of the existing literature on the subject focuses on the technological constraints of this development, other factors, extrinsic or complementary, such as sociocultural, political and economic, were also sought in this study. To do so, here was opted to collect data about the interfaces and their development contexts, according to a diachronic approach. The procedures used in the study include bibliographical research, construction of a timeline of video game consoles and consoles, and data analysis focused on the identification of influential patterns and factors. The results of this study include the construction of a timeline of hardware interfaces for game consoles and the demonstration that a proper and deep understanding depends on the fact that the factors influencing the development of those technological artifacts cannot be considered in isolation. It has been shown that the different types of factors influencing the development of these interfaces act together and in a complex articulation, to which the video game industry responds and feeds.

Introdução: O câncer infantil coloca a criança diante de hospitalizações frequentes e prolongadas e expõe a dor e fatores estressores durante suas fases de tratamento. Esta situação pode provocar alterações no desenvolvimento típico da criança. O aspecto lúdico do brincar, com o uso do videogame dentro do hospital, pode ser um elemento importante na busca pela diminuição da dor. Objetivo: Analisar a dor e enfrentamento da dor de crianças e adolescentes com câncer hospitalizadas por meio de intervenção com o uso do videogame. Método: Participaram do estudo 40 crianças e adolescentes hospitalizadas com diagnóstico de câncer e seus cuidadores. A intervenção consistiu em terapia com uso de jogos de videogame WII durante a internação por três dias consecutivos, com sessões de 60 minutos/dia. Antes e após cada sessão, o participante graduou sua dor utilizando a Escala Analógica Visual (EVA) e diagrama do corpo. No inicio e no final do programa de intervenção com videogame foi respondido pelos participantes e pelos pais o questionário \"PedsQLTM Pediatric Pain Coping Inventory TM(̈Child Form; Teen Form; Parent Form) e perguntas sobre o programa com videogame. Resultados: O estudo não demonstrou diferenças estatisticamente significantes sobre o controle e vivência da dor no câncer infantojuvenil, ainda que alguns possíveis efeitos positivos foram observados individualmente. Conclusão: o programa com videogame parece não contribuir na área de suporte terapêutico e intervenções não-farmacológicas para o controle da dor em crianças e adolescentes com câncer de modo coletivo.

Introduction: Childhood cancer places the child in frequent and prolonged hospitalizations and exposes them to stressors factors and pain during different treatment phases. This situation may cause changes in the child´s typical development. The lively aspect of playing, with the aid of videogame inside the hospital ward might be an important element in the search of reducing pain. Puporse: to analyse the pain and pain coping of children and teenagers with cancer during hospitalization with the use of videogame. Method: Participated of the study 40 children and teenagers hospitalized with the diagnosis of cancer and their caregivers. The intervention consisted in therapy with the use of videogame WII during the hospitalization for three consecutive days, with sessions lasting 60 minutes/day. Before and after each session, the participant ranked its pain utilizing the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and body diagram. In the beginning and at the end of the videogame intervention program, it was answered by the participants and by their caregivers the questionnaire \"PedsQLTM Pediatric Pain Coping Inventory TM (Child Form; Teen Form; Parent Form)änd questions about the program with videogame. Results: The study did not show statistically signficant differences on the control and on personal pain experience in children and adolescent with cancer that entered the program; yet, some possible positive effects were observed individually. Conclusion: This…

Based on the concept of complex system and Charles S. Peirce‘s theory of semiotic machines as ones that generate interpretants (NÖTH 2007), the study investigates in how far video-games can be understood as complex semiotic machines. The argument that videogames have characteristics of complex system has been supported in studies by Juul (2011) and by Salen & Zimmerman (2012), who have shown that structures of high complexity can emerge in playing videogames. Once put into operation, the game may give rise to unpredictable pat-terns in the players‘ actions and their outcome. When the video game is played effectively, there is no way to foresee all possible results created by the rules of the game and the gamers‘ actions. The act of playing, called gameplay, and the complex structures that emerge in the course of a gameplay are described as processes of semiosis. Semiosis emerges from the rela-tionship between player and the rules of the game. Processes of semiosis occur in triadic in-teractions between players, rules, and the gameplay, which involve signs, determined by ob-jects (the rules of the game), and which result in interpretants. The players are determined by the rules of the game like object which determine a sign, but each game has its specific rules and particular ways of being played so that videogames will never be played in the same way. The way of playing is necessarily determined by the rules stipulated by a particular game. Player–rules–gameplay constitute the triadic process of semiosis in videogames. In this sys-tem, the consequences of the player‘s action can be understood as an interpretant. These in-terpretants will then be signs in subsequent processes of game semiosis. Game semiosis has unpredictable consequences. The game‘s features of unpredictability and novelty are clearly linked to Peirce‘s phenomenological category of Firstness. The results of the game are the interpretants, which are phenomena of Thirdness. However, not all videogames allow the emergence of interpretants. Salen and Zimmerman (2012) define the term ―playful meaning-ful interaction‖ as the outcome of the players‘ actions and the rules of the game only if such actions are meaningful. Therefore, in Peircean terms, meaningful play interaction is the pre-requisite of genuine semiosis in videogames. Videogames are only semiotic machines when there is meaningful playful interaction. Otherwise, gameplay results only in processes of qua-si-semiosis

O objetivo dessa tese é investigar se os videogames podem ser compreendidos como máqui-nas semióticas…

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…

▼ My dissertation defends a positive answer to the question: “Can a videogame be a work of art? ” To achieve this goal I develop definitions of several concepts, primarily ‘art’, ‘games’, and ‘videogames’, and offer arguments about the compatibility of these notions. In Part One, I defend a definition of art from amongst several contemporary and historical accounts. This definition, the Intentional-Historical account, requires, among other things, that an artwork have the right kind of creative intentions behind it, in short that the work be intended to be regarded in a particular manner. This is a leading account that has faced several recent objections that I address, particular the buck-passing theory, the objection against non-failure theories of art, and the simultaneous creation response to the ur-art problem, while arguing that it is superior to other theories in its ability to answer the question of videogames’ art status. Part Two examines whether games can exhibit the art-making kind of creative intention. Recent literature has suggested that they can. To verify this a definition of games is needed. I review and develop the most promising account of games in the literature, the over-looked account from Bernard Suits. I propose and defend a modified version of this definition against other accounts. Interestingly, this account entails that games cannot be successfully intended to be works of art because games are goal-directed activities that require a voluntary selection of inefficient means and that is incompatible with the proper manner of regarding that is necessary for something to be an artwork. While the conclusions of Part One and Part Two may appear to suggest that videogames cannot be works of art, Part Three proposes and defends a new account of videogames that, contrary to first appearances, implies that not all videogames are games. This Intentional-Historical Formalist account allows for non-game videogames to be created with an art-making intention, though not every non-ludic videogame will have an art-making intention behind it. I then discuss examples of videogames that are good candidates for being works of art. I conclude that a videogame can be a work of art, but that not all videogames are works of art. The thesis is significant in several respects. It is a continuation of academic work that has focused on the definition and art status of videogames. It clarifies the current debate and provides a positive account of the central issues that has so far been lacking. It also defines videogames in a way that corresponds better with the actual practice of videogame making and playing than other definitions in the literature. It offers further evidence in defense of certain theories of art over others, providing a close examination of videogames as a new case study for potential art objects and for aesthetic and artistic theory in general. Finally, it provides a compelling answer to the question of whether videogames can be art. This project also provides the groundwork for new evaluative,… Advisors/Committee Members: Levinson, Jerrold (advisor).
