|
|
|
<p>Console is an oracle; an emotional first aid kit that helps you help
|
|
|
yourself. Console invites you to open the box and discover ways of
|
|
|
healing. Console provides shelter for your dreams, memories and worries.
|
|
|
Face the past and encounter your fortune. Console gives you a new
|
|
|
vantage point; a set of rituals and practices that help you cope and
|
|
|
care. Console asks everyday questions that give magical answers.</p>
|
|
|
<p>Special Issue XX was co-published by xpub and Page Not Found, Den
|
|
|
Haag. With guest editors Lídia Pereira ♈︎and Artemis Gryllaki ♐ we
|
|
|
unraveled games and rituals, mapping the common characteristics and the
|
|
|
differences between games and rituals in relation to ideology and
|
|
|
counter-hegemony. We practiced, performed and annotated rituals,
|
|
|
connected (or not) with our cultural backgrounds while we questioned the
|
|
|
magic circle. We dived into the worlds of text adventure games and
|
|
|
clicking games while drinking coffee. We talked about class, base,
|
|
|
superstructure, (counter)hegemony, ideology and materialism. We
|
|
|
discussed how games and rituals can function as reproductive
|
|
|
technologies of the culture industries. We annotated games, focusing on
|
|
|
the role of ideology and social reproduction. We reinterpreted bits of
|
|
|
the world and created stories from it (modding, fiction, narrative)
|
|
|
focusing on community, interaction, relationships, grief and
|
|
|
healing.</p>
