CfP: Under the Mask: Perspectives on the Gamer Conference 2012
Under the Mask: Perspectives on the Gamer Conference
Wednesday 13th June 2012
Research Institute for Media, Art and Design
University of Bedfordshire
Luton Campus, Park Square
Luton
Bedfordshire, UK
Under the Mask: Perspectives on the Gamer enters its 5th year as a conference focused upon questions concerning the player, and with current debates considering the effect of gamification upon our conceptions of work and leisure, the increasing prominence of pervasive gaming, location-based gaming and ARGs, and the validity of procedurality as an analytical approach versus more player-centric models, such inquiries seem more pertinent than ever before. Under the Mask is a conference dedicated to understanding the many facets of the player; the psychological, political, social, cultural and historical aspects of the user and their interactions with both games (analog and digital) and the wider culture.
Under the Mask is organized by the University of Bedfordshire, UK, in association with the University of Hertfordshire, UK and the Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. This year's keynote will be provided by DiGRA Vice-President Dr. Esther MacCallum-Stewart.
