{"product_id":"game-history-and-the-local-melanie-swalwell-9783030664213","title":"Game History and the Local","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book brings together essays on game history and historiography that reflect on the significance of locality. Game history did not unfold uniformly and the particularities of space and place matter, yet most digital game and software histories are silent with respect to geography. Topics covered include: hyper-local games; temporal anomalies in platform arrival and obsolescence; national videogame workforces; player memories of the places of gameplay; comparative reception studies of a platform; the erasure of cultural markers; the localization of games; and perspectives on the future development of 'local' game history.\u003c\/p\u003eChapters 1 and 12 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melanie Swalwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303066421X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030664213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Melanie Swalwell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073538715903,"sku":"9783030664213","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1d72042-672d-4196-99b6-9c6ea5813d01.jpg?v=1685448414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/game-history-and-the-local-melanie-swalwell-9783030664213","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
