Games as Transformative Works

March 29, 2009 by jmcdonou 

The Journal of Transformative Works and Cultures has a new issue out devoted entirely to games as tranformative works.  One particularly interesting article, “The everyday lives of video game developers: experimentally understanding underlying systems/structures,” is based on three years of ethnographic study of game developers in both the U.S. and India.  Another looks at games as examples of participatory culture.  Worth a read.
