Communities of Play: The Social Construction of Identity in Persistent Online Game Worlds

[…]Centre, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts, London. was to examine the relationship between game design and emergent social behavior. In terms of game studies, emergence generally refers to complex behaviors that arise out of simple rules, and that are unanticipated by the designers (Salen and Zimmerman 2003). Uru provided a rare opportunity to track emergence between gameworlds and observe how it mutated to accommodate new contexts. One key finding was that players arrived to the game predisposed to certain emergent behaviors, based in part on past play patterns and in part on demographics. […]

Paranoid Modernity and the Diagnostics of Cultural Theory

[…]connections. Everything is connected. All human knowledge gathered and linked, hyperlinked. . . . [S]he feels the grip of systems. . . . She senses the paranoia of the web, the net. (825) Significantly, this paranoia is stimulated not by Cold War iconography but by the online experience itself. If the postwar period is the time in which “paranoia replaced history in American life,” as DeLillo has remarked elsewhere, then the replacement seems to have been accelerated of late, for our ways of knowing – the institutional frameworks for connecting everything – now stimulate paranoid suspicion in their very structure […]

Postmodernism Redux

[…]of these authors, McClure argues, affirm or invent forms of faith that are “dramatically partial and open-ended” (ix). These “preterite spiritualities” (19), which emerge on the margins of society, hybridize various scriptural traditions and profanely mix the spiritual and secular. Their purpose is to affirm varieties of religious experience excluded from a strictly secularist worldview, while at the same time exposing and countering the dangers of fundamentalism. Within this group of novelists, McClure discovers diverse configurations of the postsecularist project. Pynchon, for instance, achieves his weak religiosity through a bewildering multiplication of religious and secular perspectives, which introduce us “to […]

On an Unhuman Earth

[…]the canon of Romantic poetry be read alongside the inscription technologies of cartography or tour guides?” Eugene Thacker’s challenge to the recent compartmentalization of academic literary studies is inspired by a reading of Ron Broglio’s book, Technologies of the Picturesque. For Thacker, as for Broglio, literary Romanticism and phenomenological reflection are not the only unifying forces against the dissolution of the technological subject. It is often said that humanities departments in the States – and especially English literature departments – have turned away from theoretical reflection towards historical, sociological, and even archival research. Granted, after the heady days of literary […]

A Language of the Ordinary, or the eLEET?

[…]its singular, monolithic authority. The case is the same, so to speak, in the subtitle of his latest print novel, Was: annales nomadique, a novel of internet. The lack of a definite article here also suggests that this may not even be a novel of the Internet at all. That what we are dealing with is instead a generic state of interconnectedness, relations (social, literary, cosmic perhaps) that exist between, among, or within a bounded structure or space, an “internet” more evocative of Indra than Berners-Lee. The title is not necessarily disingenuous, it’s just that something else is going on […]

Intensifying Affect

[…]trunk of a car passing by, or engage another person outside of the realm of affect. Our ability to comprehend, indeed to respond, is always produced by the pre-subjective affective quality of the encounter with the other, a quality that depends on the affective intensity inhering in the impinging force, the force that impinges on my body (including my embodied mind). The question, therefore, is not so much what critics are supposed to do with ‘affect’ as what, say, fiction does to its own affective quality – how it overcodes its pre-subjective force and thus affects how readers territorialize their […]

Charles Darwin: Conservative Messiah? On Joseph Carroll’s Literary Darwinism

[…]Darwin’s appreciation of the interrelation between scientific observers [“ascertained by us”] and the “natural laws” observed): Several writers have misapprehended or objected to the term Natural Selection. Some … have objected that the term selection implies conscious choice in the animals which become modified; and it has even been urged that, as plants have no volition, natural selection is not applicable to them! In the literal sense of the word, no doubt, natural selection is a false term; but who ever objected to chemists speaking of the elective affinities of the various elements? … Every one knows what is meant […]

Ping Poetics

[…]of my being on the net. See Figure 1: The result starts with my pathping command. [Figure 1] For comparison, see Figure 2, another pathping I ran from my home computer to defense.gov, the server for the US Department of Defense. [Figure 2] What is written here? It took seventeen hops from my computer to the Iraq DNS Server and took twelve hops from my computer to the Department of Defense server, or at least until the pathping reached a point where the trace was blocked, presumably by the DoD firewall. I can see my route to Iraq passed through […]

Abish’s Africa

[…]for frontal alphabetical echoes. Disappointing, certainly, but agreeable circumlocutions abide. For example: “gastronomical gladness” (14). Are circuitous expressions always amusing? Can amusement ever become arid, bromidic, calculable? H: Here, chapter H, Author admits deliberate absences, admits eliminating “a few emotions” from his book (19). A cogitation: constraint could be a contrivance for coping, for hiding – for evasion. Calamity, cataclysm, catastrophe, death, deficiency, depletion, deprivation, disappearance, disaster, dispossession, failure, fatality: all afflictions constraint can circumvent. Even – especially – aphasia. A final counter-consideration: constraint a compulsion? I: “In” and “is” allowed in, finally. An important development: Author becomes an “I,” […]

Multiculturalism in World of Warcraft

[…]eight playable races have been added two more in the first expansion, with another two due to come out in the third expansion. If these 12 races can each become, on average, about 7 of the 10 possible classes, with gender as an additional marker of marketable difference, then there are about 168 possible play combinations. Add into this mix a character’s choice of 2 of the possible 12 professions – making magic jewelry, crafting special armor, brewing powerful potions or whatever – and you have 22,176 different character configurations. “MMORPG’s are all about choice,” claimed one designer of Everquest […]
