I don't generally spend a lot of time reading older theory, but the stuff Barthes was thinking about seems to match up with videogames really well, even if I don't agree with it all 100%. I don't agree, for example, that an active reader 'kills' the author, but that there is a renegotiation of terms. <br /><br />The article in the link is pretty short, but I've referred to it multiple times over the last few months.Adam Ruchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14585041571411058225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-14111897340101372662011-06-18T01:06:31.414-07:002011-06-18T01:06:31.414-07:00Thanks for stopping by, Adam.

I'm currently trying to sort out a few possible avenues for publication in less academic outlets, and thought of what you guys post on that site. Has it been a good experience? Worth the time it takes? Feel free to shoot me an email if you'd rather talk there than on here.Adam Ruchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14585041571411058225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967694277763110629.post-2483373675732622712011-06-17T16:52:39.736-07:002011-06-17T16:52:39.736-07:00Its exactly this kind of taking pop culture seriou...Its exactly this kind of taking pop culture seriously that gets us labelled as 'thinking too hard' or whatever other quips are thrown our way.
