VIDEO GAMES AND INTERACTIVE FICTION
In the past few years, video games have become an increasingly significant
portion of the entertainment industry. Students who might have dreamt of
being filmmakers or novelists now dream of becoming game designers. The
study of games and interactive fiction is clearly an interdisciplinary
activity and perhaps one that is destined for its own disciplinary
designation, though currently some who study these objects do so from within
English departments. What value do literary studies and cinema studies offer
to the analysis of video games and interactive fiction? What might the study
of literature or film gain from insights into communication from this new
field? More generally, how might the development of this new form of popular
culture shape the future of literary and language studies?
