De la filosofía digital a la sociedad del videojuego. literatura, pensamiento y gamificación en la era de las redes sociales
Quizás parezca una obviedad decir que los últimos tiempos la socie-dad ha cambiado radicalmente. Pero tal vez no lo sea tanto si nos paramos a analizar cuáles son los aspectos que han sufrido las modi-ficaciones más significativas. La importancia que han adquirido In-ternet, las redes sociales y, en definitiva todo lo que lleve incorporado el adjetivo 'digital' ha transformado nuestro día a día. Hemos dejado en muchas situaciones de ser sujetos pasivos y pasado a ser sujetos activos, de consumidores a productores, todo gracias a los avances en las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación.

Cultura audiovisual, periodismo y política: nuevos discursos y narrativas en la sociedad digital.
El ser humano siempre ha sentido la necesidad de contar historias. Ya fuera en la pared de una cueva a través de pinturas rupestres o con unas gafas de Realidad Virtual a través de un videojuego, el proceso de narración siempre ha sido el mismo: un emisor que narra un mensaje y un receptor que lo descodifica y lo recibe.

Works of Game
An exploration of the relationship between games and art that examines the ways that both gamemakers and artists create game-based artworks. Games and art have intersected at least since the early twentieth century, as can be seen in the Surrealists' use of Exquisite Corpse and other games, Duchamp's obsession with Chess, and Fluxus event scores and boxes—to name just a few examples. Over the past fifteen years, the synthesis of art and games has clouded for both artists and gamemakers. Contemporary art has drawn on the tool set of videogames, but has not considered them a cultural form with its own conceptual, formal, and experiential affordances. For their part, game developers and playe...
King of the Badgers
After the success of The Northern Clemency, shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize, Philip Hensher brings us another slice of contemporary life, this time the peaceful civility and spiralling paranoia of a small English town.
