제목 : Separation Anxiety: Plotting and Visualising the Tensions Between Poetry and Videogames
저자 : Jon Stone
초록 :
‘Poetry games’ are a hybrid form characterized as intrinsically paradoxical by Astrid Ensslin in her 2014 book Literary Gaming. Digital poet Jim Andrews likewise asserts that poetry and videogames go together like “oil and water.” In this article, I argue that by examining in more detail the phenomenological tensions between the two, we can better understand the ways in which poem-game hybrids are able to negotiate this apparent incompatibility. I propose three continuums that enable us to visualize those tensions that exist, consider what limitations are suggested by them, and discuss how the developers of what Ensslin terms ‘poetry games’ are able to work within these limitations.
