RT Article T1 Playing America: An Introduction to American Culture through Video Games JF Gamevironments VO 11 SP 86 OP 102 A1 Fuchs, Michael A1 Rabitsch, Stefan 1983- LA German YR 2019 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1742290914 AB This research report sketches one of our current projects - a textbook which approaches America (an imaginative construct more so than a geographic location) through video games. Thus, the intended outcome of this project is a ready-to-use primer to the key principles, myths, and beliefs that constitute America explained through the most relevant medium of the early twenty-first century - video games. Driven by the idea that the interactivity specific to video games facilitates student engagement, our textbook suggests a novel approach to engage with and understand both American Studies and American culture.
