Die Verbindung von Computerspielen und Emotionen ist unauflöslich. Kein gutes Computerspiel, das nicht starke Gefühle provozierte, und kein Spieler, der nicht vom ‚Willen zum Gefühl‘ geleitet wäre: Spaß, Spannung, Triumph, Belustigung, Angst …Angesichts der sich rasant ausbreitenden kulturellen Praxis des Gaming, die in immer mehr Bereiche des Alltags, der Freizeit aber auch des sozialen Lernens vordringt, stellt sich die brisante Frage nach der kulturellen Bedeutung, den Voraussetzungen und den Folgen einer emotionalen Interaktion zwischen Mensch und Technik, wie sie Computerspiele in Gang setzen: Warum gehen überhaupt emotionale Ausstrahlungen von virtuellen Figuren und Räumen aus, wie beeinflussen Spiele affektiv unser Weltverständnis, welche Bindungsstrategien verfolgen die Entwickler, und inwieweit lassen sich ‚Spielgefühle‘ und die Lust am Spielen überhaupt mit theoretischen Maßstäben erklären und bewerten? Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven nähern sich die Beiträge des Bandes den komplexen Problemstellungen, die sich aus der intimen Liaison von Gaming und Emotionen ergeben.

Dynamic Fair Dealing argues that only a dynamic, flexible, and equitable approach to cultural ownership can accommodate the astonishing range of ways that we create, circulate, manage, attribute, and make use of digital cultural objects. The Canadian legal tradition strives to balance the rights of copyright holders with public needs to engage with copyright protected material, but there is now a substantial gap between what people actually do with cultural forms and how the law understands those practices. Digital technologies continue to shape new forms of cultural production, circulation, and distribution that challenge both the practicality and the desirability of Canada's fair dealing p...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the proteases involved in programmed cell death. It presents a focused yet extensive discussion on proteolytic enzymes such as caspases, HtrAs, granzymes, calpains and cathepsins as well as laboratory protocols related to enzymology and apoptosis.
