Videogames in Society: This course will examine debates about the impact of videogames on society. Today videogames shape our education, legal and healthcare systems. They influence the health and development of our children, not to mention the economic impact of the global videogame industry. This has prompted wide discussion about the benefits and harms of videogames on society. Videogames have been labeled “digital heroin” and “virtual murder simulators” on the one hand, and celebrated for unprecedented breakthroughs in learning, communication, and therapeutics on the other. Students will read selections from a range of sources and practice the analysis of the politics, moral panic and scholarly research underlying debates about the impact of videogames on society today. | ||||||||||
