Literature, Videogames and Learning
This innovative book explores links between literature and videogames, and how designing and playing games can transform our understanding of literature. It shows how studying literature through the lens of videogames can provide new insights into narrative and creative engagement with the text. The book sets out theories of narrative aesthetics and multimodality in literature and videogames, alongside models of literacy needed for such cultural …
Dynamic, Playful and Productive Literacies
This paper reflects on recent projects in a variety of media forms, in both formal and informal educational settings, discussing ways of expanding our notions of literacy practices which reflect their place in the wider lived experience of digital culture. We have collected these reflections under three headings. The first of these, Dynamic Literacies, presents an overarching view of literacy as both ideological, following the ‘new literacy studi…

Heavy Hero or Digital Dummy? Multimodal Player–Avatar Relations in Final Fantasy 7
This article analyses the player–avatar relation in Final Fantasy 7, drawing on multimodality theory to analyse textual structures both in the game and in the discourse of player–interviews and fan writing.

The former structure is replete with the traditions an…

The paper outlines how narratology and film theory, social psychology and social semiotic…

The authors consider how the piece employs multimodal forms of expression and representational resources (including body, voice, and the technologies of theatre and media) to challenge the invisibility of disability, and to perform a narr…
