I have had an offer to publish my Master’s thesis (Pixels, Parts & Pieces: Constructing Digital Identity) by VDM Publishing. After much discussion and scrutiny over the contract, I am sending off the author contract today. Originally, they wanted to publish it as a ‘scientific volume’, but after reading it in full have decided thatContinue reading “Thesis News”

Gaming for … pleasure?

Fragmented viewing impactingContinue reading “Augmented & Mixed Reality”

Realizing that I would probably wait for ever with that standard, IContinue reading “Lord of the Rings Online – First Impressions”

My first text that I have to read for the Doctoral Seminar is La Theorie du Cinema: Enfin en crise – which is a volume from the journal CiNeMAS. I have to read the opening chapter by Roger Odin. As a film theory virgin, I had no (real) idea about what film theory was about.Continue reading “Cinema as “social imagination””
