Revue internationale et interdisciplinaire, Sciences du jeu a pour mission de développer la recherche en langue française sur le jeu, de lui donner une visibilité, de nourrir le dialogue entre les disciplines autour de cet objet, et de susciter des débats. Publiée par le laboratoire Experice de Paris 13, elle est ouverte à toutes les approches ou méthodes disciplinaires, portant sur tous les objets ludiques (dont, mais non exclusivement, les jeux vidéo), et a pour ambition de présenter des recherches issues de différents terrains concernant le jeu dans un sens large (objets, structures, situations, expériences, attitudes ludiques).

In recent decades, what could be considered a gamification of the world has occurred, as the ties between games and activism, games and war, and games and the city grow ever stronger. In this book, Anne-Marie Schleiner explores a concept she calls 'ludic mutation', a transformative process in which the player, who is expected to engage in the preprogramed interactions of the game and accept its imposed subjective constraints, seizes back some of the power otherwise lost to the game itself. Crucially, this power grab is also relevant beyond the game because players then see the external world as material to be reconfigured, an approach with important ramifications for everything from social activism to contemporary warfare.

This book examines the notion of storytelling in videogames. This topic allows new perspectives on the enduring problem of narrative in digital games, while also opening up different avenues of inquiry. The collection looks at storytelling in games from many perspectives. Topics include the remediation of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness in games such as Spec Ops: The Line; the storytelling similarities in Twin Peaks and Deadly Premonition, a new concept of ‘choice poetics’; the esthetics of Alien films and games, and a new theoretical overview of early game studies on narrative
