{"product_id":"asian-histories-and-heritages-in-yowei-kang-9781032609669","title":"Asian Histories and Heritages in Video Games","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the representations of national Asian histories in digital games. Situated at the intersection of regional game studies and historical game studies, this book offers chapters on histories and heritages of Japan, China, Iran, Iraq, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Turkey, and Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume looks beyond the diversity of the local histories depicted in games, and the audience reception of these histories, to show a diversity of approaches which can be used in examining historical games- from postcolonialism to identity politics to heritage studies. It demonstrates various methodological approaches to historical\/regional game studies: case studies of nationally produced historical games that deal with local history, studies of media reception of history\/heritage-themed games, text-mining methods studying attitudes expressed by players of such games, and educational perspectives on games in teaching cultural heritage. Through the lens of videogames, the authors explore how nations struggle with the legacies of war, colonialism and religious strife that have been a part of nation-building - but also how victimized cultures can survive, resist, and sometimes prevail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppealing primarily to scholars in the fields of game studies, heritage studies, postcolonial criticism, and media studies, this book will be particularly useful for the subfields of historical game studies and postcolonial game studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yowei Kang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032609664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032609669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Yowei Kang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46838415589631,"sku":"9781032609669","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe395719-83ec-4903-aca0-2fdaf76f07e5.jpg?v=1746589767","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asian-histories-and-heritages-in-yowei-kang-9781032609669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
