Mode und Gender | Anna-Brigitte Schlittler, Katharina Tietze (Hg.)

Mode ist gestaltete Identität und markiert seit jeher Geschlechterdifferenzen. In den Beiträgen aus Wissenschaft und Gestaltung wird erkundet, wie Genderdebatten von der Mode profitieren und wie Modegeschichte durch einen kritischen Genderblick an Profil gewinnt. Dazu fokussieren sie auf die historisch-kritische Analyse vestimentärer Objekte, in denen sich seit dem 19. Jahrhundert emanzipatorische Bemühungen materialisieren.

Not at Your Service. Manifestos for Design | Björn Franke, Hansuli Matter (eds.)
CHF 52.90
Not at Your Service: Manifestos for Design brings together the broad spectrum of beliefs, subjects and practices of designers at Zurich University of the Arts. It offers different approaches and insights on the present-day role and impact of design. It is not conceived as a finished project, but as a fluid document of its time. Collaborative design, interaction within complex systems, attention economics, the ecological shift, visual literacy, gender-neutral design, «quick and dirty» design ethnography, social responsibility, the value of ugliness, death futures, immersive technologies, identity and crises, design as a transformative discipline – all of these topics are presented for debate with passion, conviction and professional expertise.

Narrative Mechanics. Strategies and Meanings in Games and Real Life | Beat Suter, René Bauer, Mela Kocher (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
What do stories in games have in common with political narratives?
This book identifies narrative strategies as mechanisms for meaning and manipulation in games and real life. It shows that the narrative mechanics so clearly identifiable in games are increasingly used (and abused) in politics and social life. They have »many faces«, displays and interfaces. They occur as texts, recipes, stories, dramas in three acts, movies, videos, tweets, journeys of heroes, but also as rewarding stories in games and as narratives in society – such as a career from rags to riches, the concept of modernity or market economy. Below their surface, however, narrative mechanics are a particular type of motivational design – of game mechanics.

Game Mechanics for the «Magic Circle»
Why do we play games and why do we play them on computers? The contributors of «Games and Rules» take a closer look at the core of each game and the motivational system that is the game mechanics. Games are control circuits that organize the game world with their (joint) players and establish motivations in a dedicated space, a «Magic Circle», whereas game mechanics are constructs of rules designed for interactions that provide gameplay. Those rules form the base for all the excitement and frustration we experience in games. This anthology contains individual essays by experts and authors with backgrounds in Game Design and Game Studies, who lead the discourse to get to the bottom of game mechanics in video games and the real world – among them Miguel Sicart and Carlo Fabricatore.
