Funded Activity Summary

War, Computer Games and Contemporary Technoculture. This project examines computer games with a view to understanding the profound interrelationship of war and cultural developments that influences much of the innovation in computer gaming and simulation today. In the wake of the recent escalation of terrorism and state-supported counter-terrorism, war has become even more visible in media and audio-visual entertainment, making the question of the relation between war and mainstream culture one which poses itself with increasing urgency. This project's exploration of computer games is aimed at illuminating crucial features of this wider question of war's place in Australian contemporary culture, connected as it is to the global media context.
