The issue of equality transcends the current focus in the field of Game Studies on code, materiality, and platforms. Journalists and bloggers have begun to hold the digital game industry and culture accountable for the discrimination routinely endured by female gamers, queer gamers, and gamers of color. Video game developers are responding to these critiques, but scholarly discussion of representation in games has lagged behind. Contributors to this volume examine portrayals of race, gender, and sexuality in a range of games, from casuals like Diner Dash, to indies like Journey and The Binding of Isaac, to mainstream games from the Grand Theft Auto, BioShock, Spec Ops, The Last of Us, and Max Payne franchises. Arguing that representation and identity function as systems in games that share a stronger connection to code and platforms than it may first appear, 'Gaming Representation' pushes gaming scholarship to new levels of inquiry, theorizing, and imagination. 650 0 $a Video games. 650 0 $a Race in mass media. 650 0 $a Sex in mass media. 650 7 $a Race in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01930803 650 7 $a Sex in mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114475 650 7 $a Video games. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166421 700 1 $a Malkowski, Jennifer, $d 1983- $e editor. 700 1 $a Russworm, TreaAndrea M., $e editor. 880 4 $6 264-00 $c �2017 830 0 $a Digital game studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212020815.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC966044E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
