Call for Papers
7th International Conference on the Philosophy of Computer Games
Computer
Game Space – Concept, Form and Experience
We hereby invite scholars in any field of studies who take a
professional interest in the philosophy of computer games to submit papers to
the 7th International Conference on the Philosophy of Computer Games, to be
held in Bergen, Norway, October 2-4 2013.
Player experience and dynamics in computer games are structured around
apparent spatial relations inside the gameworld. It is furthermore common to
use spatial metaphors such as “action space”, “possibility space”,
“experiential space” to explain central aspects of these games. For this
conference we invite papers that aim to clarify and critically evaluate views
about the nature of spatial relations in computer games. The papers may address
such questions as: Is space in games fictional or real? What is
the nature of
space in games if it is not fictional? What are the formal properties of space
in computer games? What is the role of spatial relations in defining
interactivity? What is the relation between in-game spatial orientation and
ordinary spatial orientation?
Accepted papers will have a clear focus on philosophy and philosophical
issues in relation to computer games. They will refer to specific examples from
computer games rather than merely invoke them in general terms.
In addition
to papers that are directed at the main theme we invite a smaller number of
papers in an “open” category. We are especially interested in papers that aim
to continue discussions from earlier
conferences in this series.
Abstracts should have a maximum of 1000 words including bibliography.
Please note if you intend your paper to fit in the “open” category.
Deadline for submissions is midnight GMT, Monday 1 July 2013.
Please submit your abstract through review.gamephilosophy.org All
submitted abstracts will be subject to double blind peer review.
Notification of accepted submissions will be sent out by August 15, 2013. A
full paper draft must then be submitted by September 25, 2013 and will be
made available on the conference website.
We also issue a call for workshops to be held on October 1. Please
contact the program committee chair if you are interested in organizing a
workshop.
For information about the conference please visit 2013.gamephilosophy.org
and gamephilosophy.org
A wiki-based bibliography for the conference theme will be made
available.
