Exploring Minecraft

Zusatztext

<div><p>This book directs critical attention to one of the most ubiquitous and yet under-analyzed games, <i>Minecraft. </i>Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork into mobile games in Australian homes, the authors seek to take <i>Minecraft </i>seriously as a cultural practice. The book examines how <i>Minecraft </i>players engage in a form of gameplay that is uniquely intergenerational, creative, and playful, and which moves ambivalently throughout everyday life. At the intersection of digital media, quotidian literacy, and ethnography, the book situates interdisciplinary debates around mundane play through the lens of <i>Minecraft. </i>Ultimately, <i>Exploring Minecraft </i>seeks to coalesce the discussion between formal and informal learning, fostering new forms of digital media creativity and ethnographic innovation around the analysis of games in everyday life.</p><p><br></p></div><div><br></div>
