This volume explores how people play and why their play matters, with a particular interest in how ludic experiences are often constructed and controlled by the interests of institutions. From theme parks to comic conventions to massively-multiplayer online games, it probes what roles the designers of these experiences construct for players, and how such play might affect participants' identities and ideologies |
