Call for papers
Over the last fifty years, digital games have become a cultural artifact that arouses the interest of different generations who interact with these interactive and immersive environments, which enable the creation of worlds, stimulating creativity, learning, imagination, and tensioning aspects also related to the subjectivity of its players who, from different devices, immerse themselves in the universe created by the developers. The narratives invite the player to explore historical, science fiction, and sports themes.
Parallel to the rich entertainment potential of digital games, the areas of education, health, psychology, advertising, and training, among others, also explore these socio-technical arrangements, both from the perspective of development and in the field of investigation with themes related to socio-historical aspects- cultural issues, learning issues, the interface between education and health, among other relevant topics.
Thus, digital games emerge as complex, multifaceted, and multi-referential objects of investigation that require different perspectives to understand this cultural artifact in different fields of knowledge.
Within this context, we invite researchers to socialize their research in the Dossier digital games and their imaginary worlds: research and practices, proposed by RE@D - Journal of Distance Education and Elearning - Open University of Portugal, volume 07.
Articles with qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methodological approaches can adopt different perspectives and analyses around digital games.
