How to study a media object on the web that is at the same time a documentary a reportage and a game which combines both fiction and non-fiction elements? Nicole Braida digs into the discursive and material structures and infrastructures of serious games text-adventures newsgames interactive maps and data visualizations in which refugees and migrants become the subject of humanitarian discourse.

It supports the idea of a »migratory crisis« which the auth or argues is actually the symptom of a deeper crisis of the humanitarian system itself.
