{"product_id":"a-ludic-society-alexander-pfeiffer-9783903150720","title":"A Ludic Society","description":"Contemporary game scholarship offers a broad palette of theories and methods inherited from such fields as sociology and communication studies, experimental sciences, literary analysis, educational sciences and cultural critique. At large, this inherently interdisciplinary research aims for a holistic perspective on the 'LUDIC SOCIETY'. With that in mind, this book is organized into four sections that present related and often intertwined ideas and observations about the ways we manifest ourselves in games and play, how games represent us in the present and in the past, how games and play change us, and what it all may mean for contemporary society. This book invites readers to engage with the key challenges of a ludic society, explore new perspectives and initiate fruitful discussions. It is aimed at both passionate game scholars and all those who want to get a first taste of the multifaceted research field of game studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Pfeiffer, Natalie Denk, Thomas Wernbacher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 390315072X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783903150720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edition Donau-Universitat Krems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.82d","brand":"Alexander Pfeiffer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46602784899327,"sku":"9783903150720","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18dc4387-735d-49d1-a240-4e02603af50f.jpg?v=1739695277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-ludic-society-alexander-pfeiffer-9783903150720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
