In a thorough analysis of the genre that draws upon detailed comparisons with the mainstream action genre, Andrei Nae places his analysis firmly within a political and social context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn comparing survival horror games to the dominant game design norms of the action genre, the author differentiates between classical and postclassical survival horror games to show how the former reject the norms of the action genre and deliver a critique of the conservative gender politics of action games, while the latter are more heterogeneous in terms of their game design and, implicitly, gender politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal not only to scholars working in game studies, but also to scholars of horror, gender studies, popular culture, visual arts, genre studies and narratology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrei Nae\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367894114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367894115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Andrei Nae","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086552084735,"sku":"9780367894115","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3462ea7b-e68f-4430-bfc8-3126fa25ec4b.jpg?v=1769095329","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immersion-narrative-and-gender-crisis-andrei-nae-9780367894115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
