9th INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC CONFERENCE  
on the  

Culture-Generative Function of Games

 cycle, entitled:  

Applied Games and Gamification

Poznań 16 – 17 November 2013

The Games Research Association of Poland’s Main Board, the Poznań GRAP Centre at the Institute of Applied Linguistics of Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań and the Centre for Ludological Research in Glottodidactics and Intercultural Communication (IAL AMU) have the honour of presenting the 9th International Conference on the “Culture-Generative Function of Games” cycle.
During this year’s conference we would like to concentrate especially on two phenomena. The first one is applied games or serious games, so productions in which entertainment is not the main aim. The other one is gamification – transposing rules governing games into other areas of life. Apart from these two questions we propose also consideration over other aspects of games and games research. Conference papers can concern for instance:
 
1. Gamification: a useful term or intellectual fashion?
2. Applied games, serious games: definitions, classifications, tendencies, directions of development.
3. The scope/range of research of ludology in Poland and abroad.
4. Methods of researching games and gamers.
5. From narration and art to immersion and ergodicity: are old terms in games research appropriate? Are new terms felicitous and necessary?
6. Game as a form of social communication (eg. MMORPG, community games).
7. Game as a tool for education and popularisation.
8. Video games in legislation.
9. From classical board games to e-sports – what changes in games and what remains?
 
The variety of the proposed topics reflects the multiplicity of aspects of the phenomena connected with games, numerous possible research perspectives and the evolving form, content and role of games in human’s everyday life.
We are looking forward to hear voices of media experts, glottodidactic experts, linguists, theorists of literature, historians, philosophers, culture researchers, sociologists, psychologists and psychiatrists, pedagogues, computer experts, economy experts, lawyers and representatives of other disciplines, including sciences. We also invite game authors and journalists. We are also inviting game designers, journalists, e-sportsmen and gamers. See you in  Poznań!
