Eludamos

Aims & Scope

Eludamos: Journal for Computer Game Culture is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the critical academic study of games and play.

The editors of Eludamos conceive of computer and other games as aesthetic expressions that have cultural, political and societal implications, and see it as an important part of the journal’s mission to investigate such games with an eye on facilitating inclusive and progressive alternatives.

The journal aspires to enhance the understanding of both the media-specific aspects of games as well as highlight their intrinsic connections with other cultural practices and forms.

Eludamos publishes innovative work, critical writing, and alternative perspectives on games and the field of game studies.

We encourage contributions on the interplay between games, players, politics, culture and society and invite both theoretical and empirical studies of topics including but not limited to: • critical perspectives on games, representation and play, • analyses of game cultures, play practices and player experiences, • analyses of genres, rules, narratives and worlds in games, • the cultural, political, societal and economic implications of games and play, • critical game design, as well as • investigations of the game industry, game production, game journalism, and political economy of games.
