Video Games and Human Values Initiative
A new kind of conversation about games in culture
Proceedings of the VGHVI
Welcome to VGHVI's peer-reviewed journal, Proceedings of the
Video Games and Human Values Initiative. If you're interested
in submitting to PVGHVI, please see our announcement and call for
papers
here.
PVGHVI is pleased to publish its first proceeding, Justin Keverne's "Game within a game: freedom and control in Assassin's Creed." This article is the pilot of what we hope will be a new approach to scholarly publication in the interdisciplinary discourse on video games. Readers are invited and encouraged not only to discuss the article, but also to provide the benefits that traditionally have been in the hands of peer-reviewers--that is, generally, assistance in ensuring that the article makes a genuine contribution to its fields. One very important part of those benefits will be, we hope, the unstinted flow of suggestions of a bibliographic nature--in terms both of specific citations and background readings.
At regular intervals, the article will be updated here and on the archive at the VGHVI wiki, in response to the discussion here. We believe that this arrangement could well represent a significant step forward in the development of the form of the scholarly article.
