©† turnê acadêmica 2013: próxima parada: lüneburg, alemanha
segunda feira embarco para a alemanha, para a bela cidade de lüneburg, afim de participar de um seminário sobre gamification promovido pela leuphana universität. falarei sobre a pesquisa que realizo atualmente em meu pós-doc na puc-sp. segue resumo de minha fala, “Gamification, apparatuses, language and the emergence of new codes”:
“In our time the presence of playful elements can be seen in all spheres of social, cultural and political relationships. While it is true that culture has its roots embedded in the act of playing, there is a contemporary factor that enhances the perception of the importance of the game for man and amplifies it eloquently. This factor lies in the growing influence of technical devices in mediation processes. These devices, dedicated to the game of symbolic exchanges, were called “apparatuses” by the philosopher Vilém Flusser, who pointed them out as those responsible for liberating man from work. The reign of these devices – among which we find computers, game consoles, tablets and smartphones – propelled man directly to the game. This change brings profound implications to the human condition, such as the production of new codes based on games that are more suitable and efficient than writing to the production of contemporary languages. These new hybrid and simultaneous codes are at the core of the apparatuses and they break the linearity of writing, provoking the emergence of new spatial and temporal relations binding the contemporary man to learn complex models of symbolic encoding and decoding. From this picture we intend to reflect on how the notion of gamification affects language production mediated by apparatuses. Is it possible, as indicated by Flusser, that the codes of these apparatuses are more efficient than linear writing to the current production of language?”
Tschüsssss!
