{"product_id":"disability-and-video-games-markus-sphrer-9783031343735","title":"Disability and Video Games: Practices of En-\/Disabling Modes of Digital Gaming","description":"This collection intends to fill a long overdue research gap on the praxeological aspects of the relationships between disabilities, accessibility, and digital gaming. It will focus on the question of how Game Studies can profit from a Disability Studies perspective of \u003ci\u003een-\/disabling \u003c\/i\u003egaming and issues of disability, (in)accessibility and ableism, and vice versa. Instead of departing from the medical model of disability that informs a wide range of publications on \"disabled\" gaming and that preconceives users as either \"able-bodied,\" \"normal\" or as \"disabled,\" \"deficit,\" or \"unable to play,\" our central premise is that dis\/ability is not an essential characteristic of the playing subject. We rather intend to analyze the complex infrastructures of playing, i.e., the complex interplay of heterogeneous human and non-human actors, that are \u003ci\u003een- \u003c\/i\u003eor \u003ci\u003edisabling\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Markus Sprer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031343735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031343735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.88d","brand":"Markus Sprer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44966266175743,"sku":"9783031343735","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdbdcfff-51c1-4314-af6c-8c6cdfa46cbb.jpg?v=1711159355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disability-and-video-games-markus-sphrer-9783031343735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
