Beyond the Industry. A Bordieuan Cartography of the Video Game Field
Pierre Bourdieu's sociological framework has become foundational in Game Studies, underpinning fundamental concepts like Mia Consalvo's gaming capital, Graeme Kirkpatrick's gamer habitus, and Brendan Keogh's video game production field. This article synthesizes research deploying Bourdieu's triad—field, capital, and habitus—to construct a cartography of the video game field. Our theoretical-methodological intervention offers: 1) the exploration o…
Are Inclusion and Diversity Even Possible? A Best-Fit Framework Synthesis of Video Game Development Ethnographies
This article synthesizes qualitative evidence from ethnographies within video game development companies. A best-fit framework synthesis was conducted, combining the strengths of framework and thematic analysis to interpret the results of 55 ethnographic studies. The analysis revealed that the field of video game development is dominated by technologists and publishers with economic and cultural capitals determining the positions within the field…
Un acercamiento situado a las violencias machistas online y a las formas de contrarrestarlas
En este artículo buscamos acercarnos a las violencias machistas online para contribuir a favorecer unas relaciones digitales libres y seguras para todes, desde nuestro contexto catalán-español con interés internacional. Combinamos una revisión sistemática de 33 artículos de Web of Science, con una revisión tradicional derivada de los trabajos con Donestech. Incluimos, pues, publicaciones académicas, institucionales y activistas feministas. Destac…
A Tale of Two Subjectivities: An Academic Life Story
In this article I present an autobiographical account as someone who has been an academic in both Mexico and Spain for the last thirty years. My life story shows the transition from a life centred on an academic project to a life centred on mere survival in the system. These are two subjectivities that do not neatly appear consecutively but that are intertwined. The first starts from the traditional but exciting idea that an academic career must …
Mutable technology, immutable gender: Qualifying the “co-construction of gender and technology” approach
Pressed for time
In this book, Judy Wajcman offers us a feminist sociotechnical standpoint to deconstruct technology and time determinisms. This is why it is a book of special interest to those of us who work to cl

Si mañana nos despertáramos en un mundo sin hombres ni mujeres ¿qué pasaría?La primera reacción que tienen los estudiantes cuando hago esta pregunta retórica, es pensar que la humanidad entera se ha extinguido, pero fijaros que yo sólo he dicho sin hombres ni mujeres, no sin personas.Y este es justo el problema de nuestras sociedades occidentales, que nos es imposible imaginar la realidad, sin pensar en el binarismo de género: hombres y mujeres.P…
The trouble with 'women in computing: A Critical Examination of the Deployment of Research on the Gender Gap in Computer Science
The pessimistic scenario for ‘women in information communications technology’ and for ‘women in technology’ generally is even more paradoxical and insidious with respect to ‘women in computing’. Studies within this field not only report insignificant improvement in the proportion of women in Western countries’ computing fields but also alert us of a declining trend. Moreover, that decline has been accompanied – or even preceded – by years of rese…
Imagined communities: Banal nationalism in Barcelona 'Locutorios
Despite the huge competition that has emerged as a result of the on-going increase in the available ways one can connect to telephone and computer networks, Barcelona call shops, known as "locutorios," are relatively successful small businesses. As a result of our research using a collective ethnographic fieldwork of "locutorios" in Barcelona, we articulated Michael Billig's concept of banal nationalism and Benedict Anderson's concept of imagined…
Comunidades imaginadas: Nacionalismo banal en los locutorios de Barcelona
A pesar de la competencia que sufren, al multiplicarse las posibilidades de conexión a las redes telefónicas e informáticas, los locutorios de la ciudad de Barcelona y alrededores, no dejan de ser negocios con un relativo éxito. Partiendo de un trabajo de campo colectivo en este artículo articulamos los conceptos de Nacionalismo Banal de Michael Billig y de Comunidad Imaginada de Benedict Anderson, para mostrar que en estos espacios de conexión p…
Consumo de TIC y Subjetividades Emergentes: Problemas nuevos
In this article we propose a re-reading and a re-interpretation of subjectivation processes which underlie the forms of relationship, identity construction and socialization. Our main goal is to unproblematize the relationships between people and ICT and between people through ICT. In this respect, we do not consider that consumption of ICT impact us and damages or affects us due to their harmful effects, but as a continuous process between 'on' …
Gender Technological Performativity: Exploring the Digital Divide in Video Gaming
In this article we revise the field of gender and video games. Video games for their ludic component, which makes their consumption facultative and informal, allow us to understand some of the mechanisms that maintain girls away from the technological realm without using institutional reasons which do not correctly explain the "voluntary" exclusions, that is to say those produced because the person "does not want" or "does not show interest" in p…
Consumption as an Emotional Social Control Device
This article discusses signs that, at least in the West, the consumption metaphor is turning into the constitutive metaphor of our relations with objects, with ourselves, and with others. This would probably be anecdotal were it not that consumption has also taken on the character commonly attributed to emotions: natural, inevitable, inexpressible, irrational, and spontaneous. This apparent lack of social features lends consumption enormous stren…
Presentación de la Carpeta “Autoetnografía y Nuevas Formas Literarias para las Ciencias Sociales”
Se presenta en esta carpeta el producto de dos seminarios que tuvieron lugar en el contexto del Máster en Investigación en Psicología Social y del Doctorado en Psicología Social de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Estos seminarios se propusieron investigar sobre el género científico, en tanto que género literario, para experimentar con el potencial de algunas de las propuestas más recientes que se han realizado en escritura para las ciencias…
My life with TICs: The role of gender
The aim of this study is to identify the links between the exposure to, and use of, TICs in both public and private life. I shall explain how, in spite of my own easy access to TICs, barriers of gender or migration have meant that this is not a universal experience - whether in the public or private domain. For some, TICs are habitually under-used and an object of some ignorance; for others, they are both a means and indeed an object of investiga…

Social Pysicology of facts, processes and projects. Object and time
Psicología social de hechos, de procesos y de proyectos. Objeto y tiempo
A dimension that must be considered, in the reflection that social sciences offer to society, is temporality. I would like to highlight the implicit idea of temporality within the different forms of psychosocial knowledge. In this article I propose that the different types of social psychology orientations can be situated on an axis of temporality which makes a distinction between those orientations that assume that the object of social knowledge…
Aproximación a una teoría de la afectividad
L'emocio es sempre social. Encara que des del punt de vista dominant, les emocions son la constancia i prova irrefutable que els individus existeixen, i que son esgrimides com la prova empirica que ells son les nostres unitats d'analisis, el que tenim entre mans quan parlem d'emocions, es la societat sencera posada en escena en format persona. Aquesta necessaria sociabilitat de les emocions ens ajuda a entendre que no es una simple casualitat que…
