Frostpunk – tęsknota za biopolityką stanu wyjątkowego

Michał Kłosiński¹

Abstract: Interpretacja groznawcza wymaga wstępnej analizy transmedialnych 1 i intertekstualnych elementów gry umiejscowionych na stronie domowej producenta, w trailerze oraz w menu. Ten gest rekonstrukcji swoistego kontekstu światotwórczego uważam za podstawowy w myśl lepszego, zorientowanego hermeneutycznie 2 odczytania świata narracji 3 konstruowanego w grze Frostpunk oraz pogłębienia immersji 4 . Strona internetowa zaprasza do precyzyjnie zaprojektowanego świata: dominanty to biel, odcienie błękitu, a elementy infra… Show more

This article advances a framework for the analysis of digital game biopolitics that addresses 1) how games represent the governance of life, 2) how games, themselves, govern life, and 3) how games enable forms of player-driven biopolitics. I define two concepts — biopolitical markers and biopolitical paradigms — and provide a set of research questions to help identify and classify various game elements that indicate specific categories of biopolitics: biopower, thanatopolitics, community, and veillance. Ultimately, rather than produce a separate theory of game biopolitics, this article builds on work in other fields to construct a method for studying the governance of life in, by, and through games.

Postapokaliptyczne role ludzi i roślin w grze Cloud Gardens. Czym jest ogród?

This article is concerned with the fate of trash and plants which grow on it. As an example of this, the video game Cloud Gardens was chosen, along with installation arts by Elżbieta Rajewska and Diana Lelonek. The paper analyzes the process of creating landscapes known from popular works of post-apocalyptic fiction; what in other titles is only a background to events and human tragedy is of greatest importance here. Later parts of the article discuss human responsibility for the unexpected development of other species, as well as plants’ indifference to the human apocalypse. This text is part of the non-anthropocentric humanism trend and refers to the concept of “plant art” as proposed by Anna Wandzel.

The article discusses the issue of environmental game studies, which the author defines as an analysis of the involvement of video games in environmental discourses. In order to formulate a definition of an eco-game, the author uses Lawrence Buell’s environmental text theory and Alenda Y. Chang’s postulates from the manifesto of environmentally conscious game design, as well as references to works in the field of post-humanistic philosophy. He also invokes concepts derived from gaming studies to describe the ecological contexts of the medium of video games. In the second part of the work, environmental game theory is used to analyse an example of an eco-game. The author chose the AAA production Death Stranding created by the Japanese designer Hideo Kojima. Looking at its unconventional depiction of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the biopolitics regulating the life of the protagonist and the gameplay based on unhurried exploration of space, the author outlines potential further directions for the development of research in the field of environmental game studies.
