Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper sets out to examine affect as a theoretical framework in the discussion of cognitive and pedagogical potentials of videogames. Using two social justice-focused videogames: 1000 Days of Syria, and This War of Mine, I illustrate the aesthetic and affective qualities which set videogames apart from any other mode of cultural communication. This medium challenges and breaks down the boundaries of the body/the player in order to visibilize forces, sensations and intensities that were otherwise impossible to perceive. I will particularly draw on the works of Gilles Deleuze and his analysis on the ability of art to turn the body into a zone of indiscernability wherein the potentials for becoming and formations of new relationalities are made possible. I explore the ways in which such aesthetic creations disrupt normative thinking and act as a point of rupture in our understanding of politics and question the multiplicity of truth.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
