Paperback. Condition: New. Digital games have become an increasingly pervasive aspect of everyday life as well as an embattled cultural phenomenon in the twenty-first century. As new media technologies diffuse around the world and as the depth and complexity of gaming networks increase, scholars are becoming increasingly savvy in their approach to digital games. While aesthetic and psychological approaches to the study of digital games have garnered the most attention in the past, scholars have only recently begun to study the important social and cultural aspects of digital games. This study sketches some of the various trajectories of digital games in modern Western societies, looking first at the growth and persistence of the moral panic that continues to accompany massive public interest in digital games. The book then continues with what it deems a new phase of games research exemplified by systematic examination of specific aspects of digital games and gaming. Section One includes four chapters that collectively consider politics and the negotiation of power in game worlds. Section Two details the ideological webs within which games are produced and consumed. Specifically, this important section offers a critical cultural analysis of the hegemony that exists within games and its influence upon players' personal ideologies. To conclude this analysis, Section Three examines game design features that relate to players' self-characterization and social development within digital game worlds. Section Four explores the important relationship between the producers and consumers of digital games, especially insomuch as this relationship is giving rise to a community of novices and professionals who will together determine the future of gaming and--to a degree--popular culture.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2011 Cambridge University Press hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: #This book examines the conceptual and temporal frames through which modern Western historiography has linked itself to classical antiquity. In doing so, it articulates a genealogical problematic of what history is and a more strictly focused reappraisal of Greek and Roman historical thought. Ancient ideas of history have played a key role in modern debates about history writing, from Kant through Hegel to Nietzsche and Heidegger, and from Friedrich Creuzer through George Grote and Theodor Mommsen to Momigliano and Moses Finley; yet scholarship has paid little attention to the theoretical implications of the reception of these ideas. The essays in this collection cover a wide range of relevant topics and approaches and boast distinguished authors from across Europe in the fields of classics, ancient and modern history and the theory of historiography. Contents: Introduction Unfounding times: The idea and ideal of ancient history in Western historical thought - Alexandra Lianeri Theorising Western Time: Concepts and Models 1 Time's authority - François Hartog 2 Exemplarity and anti-exemplarity in early modern Europe - Peter Burke 3 Greek philosophy and Western history: A philosophy-centred temporality - Giuseppe Cambiano 4 Historiography and political theology: Momigliano and the end of history - Howard Caygill Ancient History and Modern Temporalities 5 The making of a bourgeois antiquity: Wilhelm von Humboldt and Greek history - Stefan Rebenich 6 Modern histories of ancient Greece: Genealogies, contexts and eighteenth-century narrative historiography - Giovanna Ceserani 7 Acquiring (a) historicity: Greek history, temporalities and Eurocentrism in the Sattelzeit (1750-1850) - Kostas Vlassopoulos 8 Herodotus and Thucydides in the view of nineteenth-century German historians - Ulrich Muhlack 9 Monumentality and the meaning of the past in ancient and modern historiography - Neville Morley Unfounding Time in and Through Ancient Historical Thought 10 Thucydides and social change: Between akribeia and universality - Rosalind Thomas 11 Historia magistra vitae in Herodotus and Thucydides?
