SUMMARY:Jessica Enevold: "Mama Ludens vs Fanboi – What is wrong with the Gaming Revolution?"
DESCRIPTION:It has been hailed for a while\, in articles\, book introductions and sales reports: the gaming revolution. Fun for all is finally here and if we put our minds to it\, games may even save the world! Then\, what is wrong with the gaming revolution? The question can be read both as a complaint and a celebration of what is happening. This talk questions the gaming revolution by playfully pitting Mama Ludens vs Fan-boi\, here representing everyday playing practices of adult female gamers and conservative discursive elements of game culture\, in a symbolic battle over ludic fun. It nevertheless welcomes the gaming revolution as a cultural evolution\, but calls for a more profound and radical ludic revolution. \nJessica Enevold is Assistant Professor at the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences\, section for ethnology at Lund University\, Sweden where she organizes the Digital Cultures and Games Lecture and Lab Series and works as course coordinator\, supervisor and teacher in the Master’s Program Applied Cultural Analysis (MACA). She runs the research projects “Gaming Moms: Juggling Time\, Play and Family Life” and “Games and Play – For Better For Worse”. She currently co-edits an anthology on Game Love and is the Managing Editor for the international journal Game Studies.

SUMMARY:Emily Greenwood: "Regarding Priam: Reconciliation and Classical Reception"

Her research interests include ancient Greek historiography\, Greek prose literature of the fifth and fourth centuries BCE\, twentieth century classical receptions (especially uses of Classics in Africa\, Britain\, the Caribbean\, and Greece)\, Classics and Postcolonialism\, and the theory and practice of translating the ‘classics’ of Greek and Roman literature. She is the author of Afro-Greeks: Dialogues Between Anglophone Caribbean Literature and Classics in the Twentieth Century (Oxford University Press\, 2010). \nReception to follow.

SUMMARY:Damon Brown: "Porn and Pong"
DESCRIPTION:McDonald’s has “Fast Food Nation\,” the fish industry has “Cod\,” but no book has successfully weaved the cautionary tales and humorous history of the world of video games into our modern society… until now. For “Porn and Pong” Playboy Magazine journalist Damon Brown spent five years exploring how the $20 billion video game industry traces our evolution in sexual mores\, technological dependence and personal interaction. The VCR and the dawn of the modern porn industry parallels the first Atari systems\, Reality TV skyrocketed the same year as The Sims\, and the surgically-endowed Pamela Anderson was only outshined by one other woman: Lara Croft. In one of the most stimulating moments\, Brown examines Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2005 tirade against Grand Theft Auto\, and how politics\, hidden agendas and financial pressure affect all controversial art forms. \nDamon Brown writes about sex\, technology\, music and video games for Playboy\, New York Post and Family Circle\, and is the tech columnist for AARP Online and PlanetOut. He is the author of several books\, most recently Porn & Pong: How Grand Theft Auto\, Tomb Raider and Other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture. Damon has a Masters in Magazine Publishing from Chicago’s Northwestern University and a degree in Journalism and Computing from Detroit’s Oakland University. The Jersey native considers New Orleans\, Chicago and Lansing (Michigan) his hometowns\, but recently established his secret headquarters in Northern California.

SUMMARY:Scott AnderBois: "What is a Question? An Answer from Yucatec Maya"
DESCRIPTION:The act of questioning is central to human conversation\, but how do we know if a given sentence is a question in the first place? Looking at English\, there are two reasonable accounts we might give. First\, questions are defined by their semantics: i.e. questions have a particular kind of meaning which is distinct from that of other sentences\, and\, in particular\, from assertions. Alternatively\, questions might be defined by their syntax: i.e. the form of questions make use of particular elements (e.g. question words like `who’\, `what’\, and `why’) which distinguish them from assertions. \nThis talk addresses the title question from the perspective of Yucatec Maya\, an indigenous language of Mexico spoken by roughly 800\,000 people. Questions in Yucatec Maya often have no single element in their form which distinguishes them from assertions. Rather\, they consist of particular combinations of elements\, each of which occurs on its own in sentences which are clearly not questions. To understand why such sentences are questions\, then\, requires a particular understanding of the meaning of these elements individually\, and of how these meanings interact in a given sentence. In so doing\, we not only shed light on the nature of questions across languages\, but also on the nature of the elements from which questions are built. \nScott AnderBois is a fifth year grad student in Linguistics. His dissertation research investigates the grammatical properties of questions and related constructions\, such as indefinite pronouns (i.e. words like ‘someone’\, ‘something’) whose function is to introduce issues for immediate or future conversation. In order to address these general questions\, Mr. AnderBois has been engaged in primary fieldwork on the properties of these constructions in Yukatek Maya\, an indigenous language of Mexico\, currently spoken by approximately 800\,000 people in the Yucatán Peninsula. Whereas questions in English are clearly identified by the presence of question words like ‘who’ and ‘what’\, analogous questions in Yukatek Maya are formed by placing a word which otherwise means ‘someone’ or ‘something’ in a particular position within the sentence. Expanding on this exploration of the tight relationship between indefinite pronouns and questions in Yukatek Maya\, Mr. AnderBois’s research sheds light on the meanings of both constructions as a general phenomenon in human language. \nThis event is made possible by the UC Society of Fellows and the UC Humanities Network.  Staff support provided by the Institute for Humanities Research\, UC Santa Cruz.
