WHAT IS THE AVATAR? - RUNE KLEVJER KARTONIERT (TB)

What are the characteristic features of avatar-based singleplayer videogames  from Super Mario
Bros. to Grand Theft Auto? Rune Klevjer examines this question with a particular focus on
issues of fictionality and realism  and their relation to cinema and Virtual Reality. Through
close-up analysis and philosophical discussion  Klevjer argues that avatar-based gaming is a
distinctive and dominant form of virtual self-embodiment in digital culture. This book is a
revised edition of Rune Klevjer's pioneering work from 2007  featuring a new introduction by
the author and afterword by Stephan Günzel  Jörg Sternagel  and Dieter Mersch.
