Immersive Gameplay: Essays on Participatory Media and Role-Playing

A collection of scholarly essays examines immersion as a product of social and media relations. Contributors explore live-action and tabletop role-playing games, reality television, social media apps, and first-person shooters, considering game rules and the media discourse surrounding them. Drawing on social psychology, sociology, role-playing theory, game studies, and television studies, the essays analyze games and media environments as sites of social friction and power negotiation.
