By shifting focus toward the immersiveness of video games, \u003ci\u003ePlaythrough Poetics\u003c\/i\u003e makes the case for gameplay as a necessary, alternate method. Contributors to this volume engage widely with the activity of play through autoethnographies, meta-analyses of self-broadcasting, new procedural methods like gamespace soundwalking, as well as the affective aspects of games research. In doing so, they model new possibilities for academic players and gamers alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rigorous scholarship meets cultural practice in this innovative, multi-modal edited collection that includes video essays and offers transcripts of the playthroughs themselves. Readers (and viewers) will come away with a toolkit of models, case studies, and conceptual frameworks for analyzing video games through gameplay. This volume is a fresh return to the joy of play: the poetics of games as contemporary forms of storytelling and interactivity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With contributions from Ashlee Bird, Brandon Blackburn, Milena Droumeva, Kishonna Gray, Robyn Hope, Ben Scholl, Maria Sommers, Ashlyn Sparrow, Christine Tran, and Aaron Trammell.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMilena Droumeva is associate professor of communication and Glenfraser Endowed Professor in Sound Studies at Simon Fraser University, specializing in mobile technologies and multimodal ethnography with a long-standing interest in game cultures and gender.
