Digital Games as History: How Videogames Represent the Past and Offer Access to Historical Practice

Adam Chapman, "Digital Games as History: How Videogames Represent the Past and Offer Access to Historical Practice"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1138597821, 1138841625 | 290 pages | EPUB | 1.1 MB

This book provides the first in-depth exploration of video games as history. Chapman puts forth five basic categories of analysis for understanding historical video games: simulation and epistemology, time, space, narrative, and affordance. Through these methods of analysis he explores what these games uniquely offer as a new form of history and how they produce representations of the past. By taking an inter-disciplinary and accessible approach the book provides a specific and firm first foundation upon which to build further examination of the potential of video games as a historical form.
