Narrativ struktur och inverkans hinder: En fallstudie av de narrativa dimensionerna i Mass Effect
(2012) IMSK01 20121Intermedia Studies
- Abstract
- This essay will discuss the narrative potential and structure imbedded in the video game Mass Effect. By adopting Lars Elleströms theory of media modalities I mean to integrate the concepts of the ergodic, of the processuell authorship and of the structuralist narrative functions in an analysis of the game’s storytelling strategies. Furthermore, I will place this analysis in the context of the previous research done in the name of ludology, the academic field devoted to the studies of games. The essay is also concerned with the specific meaning and practical use of the term agency.
