COMM 328 Games and Culture
Gamers make imaginative decisions and employ a number of theoretical approaches to the way they interpret both the rules and the world of the games they play. This class will investigate the analog roots of games through a hands-on approach to the culture history of tabletop games as well as engaging with the history of narrative studies and hermeneutics, or the philosophy of interpretation. Specifically, this class will experiment, study, and play through the contributions of analog, tabletop, and role-playing games.
