New Perspectives on the Social Aspects of Digital Gaming cover

Expanding on the work in the volume Multiplayer, this new book explores several other areas related to social gaming in detail. The aim is to go beyond a typical "edited book" concept, and offer a very concise volume with several focal points that are most relevant for the current debate about multiplayer games, both in academia and society. As a result, the volume offers the latest research findings on online gaming, social forms of gaming, identification, gender issues and games for change, primarily applying a social-scientific approach.

"This is a timely addition to Game Studies, especially in the way it addresses issues at the heart of gaming communities at present. A strong body of complimentary chapters produce a well-rounded picture of gaming communities and the issues they face." --Esther MacCallum-Stewart, University of the West of England, UK

"As with the previous volume,this book brings together an interesting and enlightening sampler of the latest original research on social aspects of digital games from talented new scholars and established leaders in the field. An excellent survey on where research on digital games is going, and where it should go."--James D. Ivory, Virginia Tech, USA
