How to Get Rid of Homeless
How to get rid of homeless is a monumental project. A 600-page epic split in two volumes documenting the so-called “homeless scandal” that affected the newly released game SimCity (Maxis/Electronic Arts, 2013), How to get rid of homeless reproduces dozens of threads concerning “homelessness” that appeared in Electronic Arts’ online forum between 2012 and 2013. Matteo Bittanti collected, selected, and transcribed thousands of messages exchanged by the forum members who first experienced and then tried to “eradicate” the phenomenon of homelessness that “plagued” SimCity. From surprise to despair, from shock to resignation, these posts highlight the pitfalls of simulation, the...

Policies, Principles, Practices
This book addresses the various challenges facing university foreign language teaching in non-anglophone countries in the era of educational globalization. Growing student mobility, net-based cross-border university education, and universities opening subsidiaries in other countries force university teachers to offer their teaching in English rather than in their mother tongue, and universities to equip their staff members with the necessary foreign language competencies. As a reflection of societal and institutional globalization processes, dedicated language teachers strive to adjust teaching methods to new student identities, the availability of advanced learning technologies, and social ...

Machinima
MACHINIMA. 32 Conversations on the Art of Video Games is a unique collection of interviews with international artists using digital gaming to make art. Finally available in Italian, these conversations - that took place between 2016 and 2010 - chart a complex phenomenon, providing an essential set of resources for anybody interested in often overlooked, misunderstood or plainly ignored, artistic practices such as machinima and game art. Text in Italian. MACHINIMA. 32 Conversazioni sull'arte del videogioco propone una selezione ragionata di interviste realizzate tra il 2016 e il 2010 con artisti internazionali che utilizzano il videogioco come materia grezza per fare arte. Questi contributi - tutti inediti per l'Italia - forniscono preziosi strumenti critici per illuminare un fenomeno artistico ibrido e mutante, generalmente frainteso, spesso sottovalutato, talvolta completamente ignorato dalla cosiddetta critica istituzionale, quello del machinima e dell'arte videoludica.
