Abstract:

<p>In today’s modern society with high-speed connections covering the globe people are more than ever finding themselves gazing into the cold lights of the computer screen. On the other side a strange and exciting world yet to be explored awaits. Many are those who spend hour after hour running over green hills swimming in vast blue oceans in the lands of Azeroth, the playfield in the MMORPG game World of Warcraft. In media we often read and hear alarming reports on players stuck in this virtual world, ceasing to play a part in the real world. This thesis will make an attempt as to hear what t

Abstract:

The proliferation of the Internet and online-based social interactions has become an increasingly popular topic with communication scholars. The goal of this study was to explore how massively multi-player online role playing game (MMORPG) players make sense of and negotiate their online social interactions. This study (N = 292) examined how players of SecondLife and World of Warcraft evaluated their online relationships compared to their offline relationships and investigated how different levels of realism within different MMORPGs effected player's online experiences. The results indicated t

Abstract:

Through more than five years of extensive, participatory research the writer became a fully integrated member of the World of Warcraft community he set out to study. By actually living the grounded practices that constitute the everyday life he concludes that the mundane, often repetitive practice has very little to do with the cyber-utopian claim that one can flee the body and become who they want on the Internet. Instead this doctoral thesis argues that the constant transitions of the borders between offline and online, virtual and real, body and avatar, play and work, player and producer ar

Abstract:

Os jogos eletrônicos denominados Massive Multiplayer Online, nos quais milhares de pessoas podem estar conectadas simultaneamente, são tomados como exemplo atual de jogos coletivos. A partir da análise biopolítica de Michel Foucault, são investigadas as construções identitárias individuais, os papéis sociais e compromissos assumidos com outros jogadores e as aprendizagens e disciplinas reforçadas em tais jogos, tomando como referência o jogo World of Warcraft, o mais popular do gênero, atualmente. O trabalho de campo foi realizado com jogadores e com os websites oficiais do jogo selecionado, p
