{"product_id":"perspectives-on-the-european-videogame-1","title":"Perspectives on the European Videogame","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe history of European videogames has so far been overshadowed by the global impact of the Japanese and North American industries. However, European game development studios have played a major role in videogame history, and many prominent videogames in popular culture, such as \u003ci\u003eGrand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider, Alone in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Witcher\u003c\/i\u003e, were made in Europe. This book proposes an inquiry into European videogames, including both analyses of transnational aspects of European production and close readings of national specificities. It offers a kaleidoscope of European videogame culture, focusing on the analysis of European works and creators but also addressing contextual aspects and placing videogames within a wider sociocultural and philosophical ground. The aim of this collective work is to contribute to the creation of a, until now, almost non-existent yet necessary academic endeavour: a story and critical exploration of the works, authors, styles, and cultures of the European videogame.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56280826806616,"sku":"9781041184089","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041184089_eca3c6ce-9c0f-4fc4-afd9-22e5c955939e.jpg?v=1778038246","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/perspectives-on-the-european-videogame-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
