內容簡介

As we begin to better understand the interplays between in-game experiences and everyday life, it is important to examine how players’ sense of self emerges across various digital and physical spaces. This presentation offers a theoretical model for how the self emerges as a complex assemblage of many different kinds of objects (physical/digital, material/immatieral) across game and non-game spaces. Then, in line with this model, an analytical method will be recommended for analyzing Self-networks, which combines principles from phenomenology, actor-network theory, and grounded theory analyses. Finally, an example application of this approach will be offered, showing exploratory data outlining the ways that some players construct an ideal gender by assembling symbolic avatar components into a representative body.

Dr. Banks is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies and Research Associate in the Interaction Lab (#ixlab) at West Virginia University. Her research focuses on human-technology relationships and the mutual influences of communication technology and human identities. She has published more than 20 original research articles and delivered more than 40 national and international research talks on these topics, and currently serves as the Chair of the National Communication Association’s Game Studies Division. She is currently editing a book with Peter Lang Publishing called “Avatars, Assembled: The Sociotechnical Anatomy of Digital Bodies.”
