A fundamental difference with other media, which is a point of continuous consideration, is the specific relationship between the viewer and the image, the player and the game apparatus, which is a characteristic of video games as a dispositive. Terms such as immersion, participation, interactivity, or ergodic are an indication of the deep interest in this constellation. This paper explores the resonance between body and image in video games like REZ, SOUL CALIBUR and DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION from the perspective of a temporal ontology of the image, taking particular account of the structuring power of the interface and its subject positioning aspects.}, language = {en} } @book{GuenzelLiebeMerschetal.2010, author = {G{\"u}nzel, Stephan and Liebe, Michael and Mersch, Dieter and K{\"u}cklich, Julian and Warnke, Martin and Cermak-Sassenrath, Daniel and Michael, Nitsche and Nohr, Rolf F. and Wenz, Karin and Wiemer, Serjoscha and Venus, Jochen and Butler, Mark}, title = {Logic and structure of the computer game}, editor = {G{\"u}nzel, Stephan and Liebe, Michael and Mersch, Dieter}, isbn = {978-3-86956-064-9}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-42695}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The fourth volume of the DIGAREC Series holds the proceedings to the conference "Logic and Structure of the Computer Game", held at the House of Brandenburg- Prussian History in Potsdam on November 6 and 7, 2009. The conference was the first to explicitly address the medial logic and structure of the computer game. The contributions focus on the specific potential for mediation and on the unique form of mediation inherent in digital games. This includes existent, yet scattered approaches to develop a unique curriculum of game studies. In line with the concept of 'mediality', the notions of aesthetics, interactivity, software architecture, interface design, iconicity, spatiality, and rules are of special interest. Presentations were given by invited German scholars and were commented on by international respondents in a dialogical structure.}, language = {en} }
