The critical interest in games as a cultural artifact is covered by a wide range of interdisciplinary work. To highlight the social impacts of games the first section of the book covers the systems built around high score game competitions, the development of independent game design communities, and the formation of fan communities and cosplay. The second section of the book offers a deeper analysis of game structures, gender and masculinity, and the economic constraints of empire that are built into game design. The final section offers a macro perspective on transnational and colonial discourses built into the cultural structures of East Asian game play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexis Pulos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319438166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319438160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Alexis Pulos","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089086787839,"sku":"9783319438160","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5813efd-4774-40a7-9541-aba7b0ac6fa1.jpg?v=1769108120","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transnational-contexts-of-culture-gender-alexis-pulos-9783319438160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
