Future Gaming: Creative Interventions in Video Game Culture (Goldsmiths Press / Future Media Series)
by Paolo RuffinoA sophisticated critical take on contemporary game culture that reconsiders the boundaries between gamers and games.This book is not about the future of video games. It is not an attempt to predict the moods of the market, the changing profile of gamers, the benevolence or malevolence of the medium. This book is about those predictions. It is about the ways in which the past, present, and future notions of games are narrated and negotiated by a small group of producers, journalists, and gamers, and about how invested these narrators are in telling the story of tomorrow.This new title from Goldsmiths Press by Paolo Ruffino suggests the story could be told another way. Considering game culture, from the gamification of self-improvement to GamerGate's sexism and violence, Ruffino lays out an alternative, creative mode of thinking about the medium: a sophisticated critical take that blurs the distinctions among studying, playing, making, and living with video games. Offering a series of stories that provide alternative narratives of digital gaming, Ruffino aims to encourage all of us who study and play (with) games to raise ethical questions, both about our own role in shaping the objects of research, and about our involvement in the discourses we produce as gamers and scholars. For researchers and students seeking a fresh approach to game studies, and for anyone with an interest in breaking open the current locked-box discourse, Future Gaming offers a radical lens with which to view the future.

Future Horizons: Canadian Digital Humanities (Canadian Literature Collection)
by Susan Brown Gregory Betts Dean Irvine Sandra Djwa Constance Crompton Katherine McLeod Klara Du Plessis Kiera Obbard Roopika Risam Andrea Zeffiro Deanna Fong M Ryan Fitzpatrick M Eric Schmaltz Dani Spinosa M David Gaertner M Mark V. Campbell M Jon Saklofske Julia Polyck-O’Neill Kim Martin Rashmeet Kaur Pascale Dangoisse Michelle Schwartz Graham H. Jensen M Allan Cho Sarah Zhang Kendra Cowley Asen IvanovAu fil des vingt et quelques chapitres que compte cet ouvrage, les auteurs explorent le passé, le présent et l’avenir de la recherche, de l’enseignement et de l’expérimentation en sciences humaines numériques au Canada. Ce recueil, qui rassemble les travaux de chercheuses et de chercheurs établis et émergents, présente des initiatives contemporaines dans le domaine des sciences humaines numériques. Celles-ci sont conjuguées à un réexamen de l’héritage légué par ce domaine jusqu’à ce jour et à des discussions sur son potentiel. Future Horizons jette aussi un regard historique sur des projets numériques d’envergure, quoique largement méconnus, qui ont été réalisés au Canada. Future Horizons fait plonger le lecteur dans des projets qui mettent à contribution une vaste gamme d’approches — des jeux numériques aux laboratoires ouverts, des archives sonores à la poésie numérique, des arts visuels à l’analyse textuelle numérique — et qui puisent dans des matériaux canadiens tant historiques que contemporains. Dans leurs essais, les auteurs font voir comment une telle diversité d’approches remet en cause la connaissance en permettant aux chercheurs de poser de nouvelles questions.Ce recueil remet en question l’idée selon laquelle il n’existerait qu’une seule définition des sciences humaines numériques ou une seule identité collective nationale. En observant les interactions du numérique avec la race, l’autochtonie, le genre et la sexualité — sans oublier l’histoire, la poésie et le concept de nation —, Future Horizons propose une vue élargie du travail à l’intersection des sciences humaines numériques et des sciences humaines traditionnelles dans le Canada d’aujourd’hui. Ce livre est publié en anglais.Formats disponibles : couverture souple, PDF accessible et ePub accessible.

Future Interaction Design II
by Pertti Saariluoma Hannakaisa IsomäkiThe perspectives and techniques used in human-computer interaction design, practice and research are broadening. This book looks at emerging approaches which are likely to contribute to the discipline in near future. The underlying idea is that human character rather than technology should determine the nature of interaction. The concept of "interaction design" covers this range of concerns relevant to enabling quality design. Each chapter emphasizes alternative perspectives on interaction and new concepts to help researchers and practitioners relate to alternative design approaches and opportunities. This second volume provides a wider perspective, from both a scientific and geographic outlook. New topics, such as psychological design processes, gerotechnology, modelling, e-learning and subconscious experiences are discussed from a team of international authors. This book will be of considerable value to those seeking innovative perspectives upon designing and ensuring effective interaction between humans and technology.

Future Memory Practices: Across Institutions, Communities, and Modalities (Participatory Memory Practices)
by Rachel Charlotte Smith Gertraud KochFuture Memory Work addresses a crucial challenge in contemporary pluralistic societies: the organisation of open, participatory and socially inclusive memory practices in digital media ecologies. It brings a novel relational approach to future memory work across institutions, people, and modalities.Advancing inter- and transdisciplinary research and rich empirical cases from across Europe and beyond, the book examines how memory practices in digital media are open for engagement of people with diverse backgrounds. It analyses the modalities of memory making and how they can enable institutional and public memory making with a broad spectrum of people and groups in civil society at local, translocal, national and global levels. The chapters examine the mediatized character of memory making, whilst also critically considering what obstacles and potentials emerge from participatory memory work. As a whole, the book is a comprehensive source of knowledge and ideas for creating socially inclusive, sustainable memory practices and futures. It sets the multidisciplinary research agenda for advancing studies of heritage in contemporary digital media as an element and a driver of cultural and social change.Future Memory Work is essential reading for academics, students and professionals working in the fields of Anthropology, Museum Studies, Digital Cultural Heritage, Memory Studies, Cultural Studies and Design.

Future Minds: The Rise of Intelligence from the Big Bang to the End of the Universe
by Richard YonckFor Readers of Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking, an Epic Journey through the Intelligent Universe With the ongoing advancement of AI and other technologies, our world is becoming increasingly intelligent. From chatbots to innovations in brain-computer interfaces to the possibility of superintelligences leading to the Singularity later this century, our reality is being transformed before our eyes. This is commonly seen as the natural result of progress, but what if there&’s more to it than that? What if intelligence is an inevitability, an underlying property of the universe? In Future Minds, Richard Yonck challenges our assumptions about intelligence—what it is, how it came to exist, its place in the development of life on Earth and possibly throughout the cosmos. Taking a Big History perspective—over the 14 billion years from the Big Bang to the present and beyond—he draws on recent developments in physics and complexity theory to explore the questions: Why do pockets of increased complexity develop, giving rise to life, intelligence, and civilization? How will it grow and change throughout this century, transforming both technology and humanity? As we expand outward from our planet, will we discover other forms of intelligence, or will we conclude we are destined to go it alone? Any way we look at it, the nature of intelligence in the universe is becoming a central concern for humanity. Ours. Theirs. And everything in between.
