CALL FOR ABSTRACTS Fictional Persons and Characters International Online Workshop October 12, 2022 Submission deadline: June 20, 2022 It is tempting to think of fictional characters as if they were fictional persons. The inhabitants of a fictional world, where they live and engage in meaningful interactions as we do in the real world. However, this conception is problematic. First, because the concept of “person” is far from being clear. Are persons to be defined in physical or mental terms? And even if we restrict ourselves to a Lockean framework where persons are defined in mental terms, regardless of their physical…

CALL FOR PAPERS ‘AFFECTING GAME TIME: THEORY & PRACTICE’ 2nd September 2022 Online https://www.cdcs.ed.ac.uk/files/2022-06/Game%20Worlds%20CFP%202022%20-%20AGT.pdf Submission deadline: July 7, 2022 All games are felt in time. Whether they are live service or archived emulations, interruptible mobile play or unrepeatable roguelikes, quick situational happenings or laborious games of death and resurrection, play is an investment through, in and with time. Last year was a year of looping games that confronted us with both the medium’s core unit of design and the temporal affects of lockdown (Deathloop, 2021; Returnal, 2021; Loop Hero, 2021; Twelve Minutes, 2021; Overboard!, 2021). However, the temporal affects games…

Call for Papers “Impossible experiences in extended reality” Workshop NordiCHI 2022 workshop October 8th OR 9th, 2022 Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark Workshop: https://impossibleexperiences.wordpress.com/ NordiCHI 2022: https://conferences.au.dk/nordichi2022 Submission deadline: July 20, 2022 Previous research has suggested a typology of VR research that involves the dimensions of realism-fantasy and immersion, which are instrumental to flow (e.g., Velasco, Barbosa Escobar, Petit, & Wang, 2021). However, the term “impossible”, as defined “incapable of being or of occurring”. In that sense, the first part refers to real-fantasy objects, and the second to laws governing the objects. In our view, then, a more encompassing “Impossible experiences”…
