Whether they are providing new spaces to imagine and practice alternative forms of living, or reproducing ecomodernist fantasies, games as well as player cultures are increasingly tuned in to the most pressing environmental concerns. This book brings together chapters by a diverse group of established and emerging authors to develop a growing body of scholarship that explores the shape, impact, and cultural context of ecogames. The book comprises four thematic sections, Today's Challenges: Games for Change, Future Worlds: New Imaginaries, The Nonhuman Turn, and Critical Metagaming Practices. Each section explores different aspects of ecocritical engagement in and through games. As a result, the book's comprehensive scope covers a variety of angles, methodologies, and case studies, significantly expanding the field of green media studies.Green Media SeriesEcogames, games for change, future worlds, nonhuman epistemologies, metagaming practices.op de Beke Laura1588132Raessens Joost1588133Werning Stefan1588134Farca Gerald1983-1588592MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996580167803316Ecogames3882521UNISA
