Games and Bereavement answers this question by looking at five videogames and carrying out a participatory design study with grievers. Sabine Harrer highlights possible connections between grief and videogames, arguing that game design may help make difficult personal feelings tangible. After a brief literary review of grief concepts and videogame theory, the book deep-dives into examples of tragic inter-character relationships from videogame history. Building on these examples, the book presents a case study on pregnancy loss as a potential grief experience that can be validated through game design dialogue.Edition MedienwissenschaftVideo gamesPsychological aspectsVideo gamesPsychological aspects.794.8019Harrer Sabine1984-1264546Knowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2018: Frontlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996309116903316Games and bereavement2965275UNISA03488nam 2200577 450 991081098910332120170919050526.01-4422-5478-5(CKB)3710000000468867(EBL)4086035(SSID)ssj0001545365(PQKBManifestationID)16135562(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001545365(PQKBWorkID)14032063(PQKB)10867644(MiAaPQ)EBC4086035(EXLCZ)99371000000046886720160115h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrWonderfully wordless the 500 most recommended graphic novels and picture books /William Patrick MartinLanham, Maryland :Rowman & Littlefield,2015.©20151 online resource (335 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4422-5477-7 Includes bibliographical references.Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; CHAPTER 1.
