Gameplay: art, videogames and culture

Main Article Content

Pau Alsina

This issue is dedicated to exploring the relations between art, videogames and culture, focusing on the idea of gameplay as the common thread to the monograph. In the study of play as a cultural phenomenon, there are a number of important milestones, such as the book "Homo Ludens" written by Johan Huizinga in 1938 or "Man, Play and Games" written in 1958 by Roger Caillois, which established a clear link between play and culture, where games are not merely an element in culture but an element of culture.

This monograph includes contributions from Espen Aarseth, McKenzie Wark, Alex Galloway, Erkki Huhtamo and Pau Waelder.
