TL;DR: In this article, the authors present findings taken from a two-year project that attempted to draw together what have essentially remained separate lines of inquiry, the critical and analytical scrutiny of game studies applied to understanding the pleasures of engagement with game violence.
Abstract: Young peoples’ voices have been considered irrelevant or unreliable when it comes to discussing the influence and impact of their engagement with screen-mediated depictions of violence. Historically, such viewpoints have been derived from the controlled experimentation of modernist psychology, which constitutes the most sustained and prominent enquiries into the consequences of individual participation in, and viewing of, simulated violence. In espousing an impersonal approach, psychological research has opted not to demonstrate any understanding of the properties of the particular games or the medium its findings have been used to denigrate. Neither does its research possess broader awareness of the social dimensions of play or the productivity inherent in the practices of its surrounding cultures. This paper introduces findings taken from a two-year project that attempted to draw together what have essentially remained separate lines of inquiry – the critical and analytical scrutiny of Game Studies applied to understanding the pleasures of engagement with game violence. The aim of this research was to achieve a more contextual understanding of texts that utilise violence from the perspective of young people that opt to experience them as an entertainment form. In doing so, a range of qualitative methods were employed to encourage game players to present their viewpoints and offer a voice that is all too often absent from the ‘one-way debate’ attached to the representation of violence within games.

Abstract: This essay combines film and hypertext theory to reformula te a hypertextual question that, ro dare, has been poorly framed. This question addresses the particular relation that may exist between the discursive doma ins of film and hypertext in terms of a possible affinity between the c inematic edit and the hypertextual link, with a view to reimagining the genealogy char has been imposed upon hypertext as a reading and writing practice. It is hoped that along the way a productive recasting of the relation between c inema theory (of one sort or another) and hypertext can occur, and that chis will provide a possible methodology for a hypertext writing practice that is yet to be invented.
