Dual Wield : The Interplay of Poetry and Video Games Hardback
by Jon Stone
Part of the Video Games and the Humanities series
Hardback
Description
In recent years, poetry and video games have begun talking to - and taking from - one another in earnest.
Poets, ever in pursuit of meaning, now draw inspiration from digital-interactive fantasy worlds, while video game developers aim to enrich their creations by imbuing them with poetic depth.
This book investigates the phenomena of poem-game hybrids and other forms of poetic-ludic interplay, making use of both a multidisciplinary critical approach and the author's own experiments in building and testing hybrid artefacts.
What emerges is the suggestion of a future where reading and playing are no longer seen as separate endeavours, where the quests for sensory pleasure and philosophic insight are one and the same.
