 Gandhi and the Caste Question in Colonial India by Shashi Bhushan Upadhyay English | 2025 | ISBN: 1041005504 | 327 Pages | True PDF | 5.8 MB  Gaming cultures and place in Asia-Pacific By Larissa Hjorth, Dean Chan (editors) 2009 | 298 Pages | ISBN: 0415996279 | PDF | 3 MB This collection explores the relationship between digital gaming and its cultural context by focusing on the burgeoning Asia-Pacific region. Encompassing key locations for global gaming production and consumption such as Japan, China, and South Korea, as well as increasingly significant sites including Australia and Singapore, the region provides a wealth of divergent examples of the role of gaming as a socio-cultural phenomenon. Drawing from micro ethnographic studies of specific games and gaming locales to macro political economy analyses of techno-nationalisms and trans-cultural flows, this collection provides an interdisciplinary model for thinking through the politics of gaming production, representation, and consumption in the region.  Gaming: Essays On Algorithmic Culture (Electronic Mediations) By Alexander R. Galloway 2006 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0816648506 | PDF | 3 MB Video games have been a central feature of the cultural landscape for over twenty years and now rival older media like movies, television, and music in popularity and cultural influence. Yet there have been relatively few attempts to understand the video game as an independent medium. Most such efforts focus on the earliest generation of text-based adventures (Zork, for example) and have little to say about such visually and conceptually sophisticated games as Final Fantasy X, Shenmue, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, and The Sims, in which players inhabit elaborately detailed worlds and manipulate digital avatars with a vast-and in some cases, almost unlimited-array of actions and choices. In Gaming, Alexander Galloway instead considers the video game as a distinct cultural form that demands a new and unique interpretive framework. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, particularly critical theory and media studies, he analyzes video games as something to be played rather than as texts to be read, and traces in five concise chapters how the "algorithmic culture" created by video games intersects with theories of visuality, realism, allegory, and the avant-garde. If photographs are images and films are moving images, then, Galloway asserts, video games are best defined as actions. Using examples from more than fifty video games, Galloway constructs a classification system of action in video games, incorporating standard elements of gameplay as well as software crashes, network lags, and the use of cheats and game hacks. In subsequent chapters, he explores the overlap between the conventions of film and video games, the political and cultural implications of gaming practices, the visual environment of video games, and the status of games as an emerging cultural form. Together, these essays offer a new conception of gaming and, more broadly, of electronic culture as a whole, one that celebrates and does not lament the qualities of the digital age. Alexander R. Galloway is assistant professor of culture and communication at New York University and author of Protocol: How Control Exists after Decentralization.

Finally, on his sixth birthday, they agreed to visit their local shelter. They had their minds set on a cute pup. Then, just as they reached the end of a long row of cages, they came upon the only calm dog in the building. The dog sat there, unmoving, and looked at them, unlike the other frantic dogs eager to find their forever homes. When Aaron's mother, Jen, held out a treat, the silent dog came over, took it delicately, and licked Jen's hand. As Jen looked into the animal's eyes, she felt an immediate connection. She somehow knew, despite learning of the animal's horrific past, that this was their dog. |
