Seminar, Laboratory on Urban Research http://urbanresearchlab.net/
Presenter: Marcella Szablewicz
Date: Saturday 29 May, 2010
Time: 2-4pm
Fee: free
Silvia Lindtner and Marcella Szablewicz have conducted ethnographic research on digital gaming practices in urban China over the last 6 years. Digital games are not only inherently participatory but are also one of the most popular forms of Internet technology in China today , and as such they are particularly illustrative examples of relations between technological practice and social and economic change in China more broadly. Lindtner and Szablewicz’s research reveals how urban youths and
young professionals in China utilize digital games to position themselves and form new identities amidst urban China’s rapid economic and technological transformations. Two main points emerge: First, digital participation is not confined within a single software application, but is a contingent process evolving in relation to wider social, economic and political developments in China. Second, digital games in China are a means by which young Chinese engage with and express ideas about social belonging, identity and class.
