Lecture: "Linguistic Relativism as a Game Mechanic in Typoman and Hue".

Lecture in the context of the lecture series: Verspielte Realität. Interdisciplinary approaches to video games

Speaker: Tamara Bodden

Computer games have become an integral part of everyday life. As part of the media culture, they accompany people of all ages and social groups. New releases in the games industry have long since been discussed in the feature pages of the major German newspapers, and the games industry generates billions in sales.
Within the German research landscape, an interdisciplinary research community has formed that brings together researchers from a wide variety of disciplines under the umbrella term of Game Studies. Within the lecture series, interdisciplinary approaches to video games are examined from the perspectives of humanities, linguistics, literature, and didactics. Every week, researchers from different disciplines present a thematic focus against the background of their respective theoretical orientation. Following the lectures, there is the opportunity to try out what has been learned on a concrete example or to deepen it further in discussion.

The lecture series takes place on Wednesdays from 6 to 8 pm.
