Gender, Age, And Digital Games In The Domestic Context (Routledge Advances In Game Studies)

This book is the first study to provide a situated investigation of the site of family play-- the shared spaces and private places of gameplay within the domestic sphere. It carries out an empirically grounded and critical analysis of what marketing and sales discourses about shifts in the digital games audience actually look like in the space of the home, as well as the social and cultural role these ludic technologies take in the everyday practices of the family in the domestic context.
