Computerspiele sind aus medienökonomischer Sicht zwar längst ein Massenmedium, in der gesellschaftlichen Wahrnehmung werden sie jedoch tendenziell immer noch als Spielzeug vornehmlich für junge Männer wahrgenommen. Dabei liegt der Anteil derjenigen, die regelmäßig spielen, in Deutschland bei fast 50 Prozent der Bevölkerung - und hiervon sind wiederum ca. 45 Prozent Spielerinnen. Ausgehend von diesem Missverhältnis zwischen gesellschaftlicher Verbreitung und Wahrnehmung rückt Sabine Hahn einerseits aus kulturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive die Spielerinnen in den Fokus und wirft andererseits aus mediensoziologischer bzw. kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Perspektive einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Games-Industrie. »Ein gutes Beispiel dafür, dass die Verquickung von Praxis und Wissenschaft funktionieren kann und keinesfalls unwissenschaftlich ist. Für alle, die sich für Game Studies, für unsere Kultur und für die technische Seite in den Gender Studies interessieren, sehr zu empfehlen.« Michael Christopher, www.socialnet.de, 05.06.2018 »Hahn [stößt] in ein wichtiges Problemfeld und zeigt umfassend auf, welch frappierende Desiderate im Sektor digitaler Spielkultur nach wie vor bestehen.« Stefan Simond, MEDIENwissenschaft, 1 (2018) »Das Buch leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer Diskussion, die bisher eher von ›Gamerinnen‹ selbst als in gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhängen geführt wurde.« Vernetzungsstelle Newsletter/Portal aus Niedersachsen für Gleichberechtigung, Frauen- und Gleichstellungsbeauftragte, 9 (2017) O-Ton: »Frauen legen mehr Wert auf Ästhetik« - Sabine Hahn im Interview beim Bieler Tagblatt am 04.09.2017. »Eine empfehlenswerte Überblicksarbeit mit einem ersten Zugang auf die Expertenperspektive der Produzenten zu einem kulturell bedeutsamen Forschungsgebiet.« Antje Müller, merz, 61/4, 8 (2017) O-Ton: »Das Thema wird immer noch hitzig diskutiert« - Sabine Hahn am 23.7. im Gespräch bei 20 Minuten Online.

Over the past two decades, much attention has been given to the new media culture of video games, due to their unique features and pervasive nature among young people. This book critically examines the role of video games in education, arguing that they encourage strategic thinking, planning, communicating, negotiation skills, multi-tasking and group decision-making. It is also observed that video games promote higher levels of attention and concentration among players. The book contains multiple perspectives and presents thought-provoking ideas, innovative approaches, systemic exploration, exemplary and promising efforts, and future-oriented scenarios. The book draws together distinguished researchers, educational and curriculum planners, game creators, educational and social psychologists, and instructional designers to explore how video games can transform the future of education. «This volume makes a substantial contribution to the growing field of games and learning. Both the range of topics and the depth of exploration make it well worth the read. A forward-leaning discussion that will certainly help shape this emerging field.» (Constance Steinkuehler, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) «To push the field forward we need more critical thinking, like this book, that will find innovative ways to get us from experiments to practical use in schools.» (Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen, IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark)

This book examines the notion of storytelling in videogames. This topic allows new perspectives on the enduring problem of narrative in digital games, while also opening up different avenues of inquiry. The collection looks at storytelling in games from many perspectives. Topics include the remediation of Conrad's Heart of Darkness in games such as Spec Ops: The Line; the storytelling similarities in Twin Peaks and Deadly Premonition, a new concept of 'choice poetics'; the esthetics of Alien films and games, and a new theoretical overview of early game studies on narrative
