Abstract |
||
The aim of the work is to analyze the threats and potentials of computer games to implement the memory policy, understood by the authors as a set of tools and techniques used by political actors to assert in the mass consciousness an advantageous interpretation of historical facts and political events. The article shows that the multiplayer nature of modern computer games gives the researcher the right, first, to define their part as a network, and second, to consider it as a special format of political communication. The principles of content analysis, archetypal analysis, comparative studies and the case study are used as methodological opticians. It has been revealed that, despite the existing debate in the scientific community about the degree of manipulative influence of computer games on the mass consciousness, most researchers recognize the importance of the subculture factor of gamers, which various actors, including political ones, are trying to influence. Evidence of this impact is the fixation of archetypes, political stereotypes, historical myths and fakes. The conclusions indicate that if the state in the conditions of modern digitalization does not pay enough attention to such a channel for implementing the memory policy as computer games, then other political actors will take advantage of it for their own purposes. The work is focused on the increment of theoretical knowledge in the Game Studies segment on the memory policy in computer games. |
