Play. Learn. Innovate
"The chosen approach allows HS to move into truly original themes and conclusions. In an argument for the importance of social dynamics as key for innovation he elegantly moves beyond the established norms in innovation literature. HS skillfully manages to avoid a dogmatic critique of existing literature, and instead points to the need for diverse and complementary approaches and the need to combine them through more comprehensive and multi-faceted frameworks. In the work the author demonstrates a comprehensive insight into theories of play and games, and also contributes to knowledge by proposing a linking of different discourses that each in their way deal with social dynamics, e.g. institutional theory, social capital theory and the theory of complex responsive processes of relating."

Design and Anthropology
Design and Anthropology challenges conventional thinking regarding the nature of design and creativity, in a way that acknowledges the improvisatory skills and perceptual acuity of people.

Organised around the themes of perception and t...

Die Fassung *T des 'Parzival' Wolframs von Eschenbach
Der Parzival Wolframs von Eschenbach ist der am breitesten überlieferte höfische Roman des deutschsprachigen Mittelalters. Dessen ungeachtet wurde die text- und überlieferungsgeschichtliche Aufarbeitung dieses bedeutenden Werkes stark vernachlässigt. In der vorliegenden Monographie wird versucht, den Stellenwert des Überlieferungszweiges *T unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen Methodendiskussion um den Fassungsbegriff zu bestimmen.

Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Zeno Karl Schindler-Preis für Deutsche Literaturwissenschaft ausgezeichnet.

How Games Move Us
An engaging examination of how video game design creates strong and positive emotional experiences for players—with examples from Journey, Train, Little Big Planet, and more. This is a renaissance moment for video games—in the variety of genres they represent, and the range of emotional territory they cover. But how do games create emotion? In How Games Move Us, Katherine Isbister takes the reader on a timely and novel exploration of the design techniques that evoke strong emotions for players. She counters arguments that games are creating a generation of isolated, emotionally numb, antisocial loners. Games can actually play a powerful role in creating empathy and other strong, positive...
