Resumo

Este artigo discute que entre as aproximações crescentes aos game studies há uma re-imaginação crucial de jogos digitais em seus contextos materiais através de escalas e registros diferentes: a máquina, o corpo e as situações do jogo. Esta re-imaginação pode ser observada em uma série de abordagens: platform e software studies, que examinam a materialidade do código e / ou a infra-estrutura tecnológica através da qual esta é promulgada; estudos críticos do trabalho digital; estudos etnográficos detalhados que examinam as culturas dos mundos on-line e situam o jogo em relação às práticas cotidianas. O artigo se debruça sobre estas três vertentes, focando em como elas apontam para um aumento de sua importância para os game studies, proporcionando acesso a diferentes contextos e conectando a pesquisa de jogos digitais a questões interdisciplinares mais amplas.
