    What are the characteristic features of avatar-based singleplayer videogames, from Super Mario Bros. to Grand Theft Auto? Rune Klevjer examines this question with a particular focus on issues of fictionality and realism, and their relation to cinema and Virtual Reality. Through close-up analysis and philosophical discussion, Klevjer argues that avatar-based gaming is a distinctive and dominant form of virtual self-embodiment in digital culture. This book is a revised edition of Rune Klevjer's pioneering work from 2007, featuring a new introduction by the author and afterword by Stephan Günzel, Jörg Sternagel, and Dieter Mersch.

    Introduction : the avatar faculty -- Sacred and secular settings -- The psychology of avatar therapeutics : absorptive experiences and stress relief -- The psychosocial dynamics of avatar therapeutics : enhanced self image and elevated social standing -- Distinguishing therapeutic from toxic avatar experiences : norm conflicts and felt dissonance -- Conclusion -- Appendix A, chapter 2 supplemental material : survey methods and results -- Appendix B, chapter 3, supplemental materials : survey methods and results Appendix C, chapter 4 supplemental material : survey methods and results. "The Avatar Faculty creatively examines the parallels between spiritual and digital activities to explore the roles that symbolic second selves-avatars-can play in our lives. The use of avatars can allow for what anthropologists call ecstasy, from the Greek ekstasis, meaning "standing outside oneself." The archaic techniques of promoting spiritual ecstasy, which remain central to religious healing traditions around the world, now also have contemporary analogues in virtual worlds found on the internet. In this innovative book, Jeffrey G. Snodgrass argues that avatars allow for the ecstatic projection of consciousness into alternate realities, potentially providing both the spiritually possessed and gamers access to superior secondary identities with elevated social standing. Even if only temporary, self-transformations of these kinds can help reduce psychosocial stress and positively impact health and well-being"--

    Biographical note: Benjamin Beil (Dr. phil.) ist J.-Prof. für Medienwissenschaft mit Schwerpunkt Digitalkulturen an der Universität zu Köln. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Game Studies, TV-Serien, Prosumentenkulturen, Inter- und Transmedialität. Die Game Studies haben in den letzten Jahren viel Aufmerksamkeit erfahren und werden betont multidisziplinär betrieben. Doch trotz eines »Iconic Turn« gibt es kaum Ansätze, die sich explizit mit der Bildlichkeit des Computerspiels auseinandersetzen. Ausgehend von den vielfältigen Darstellungsformen des Avatars - dem grafischen Stellvertreter des Spielers - erprobt Benjamin Beil einen neuen Zugang zum zeitgenössischen Computerspiel, der ludologische wie narrative Aspekte in einer bildwissenschaftlichen Perspektive vereint und den Avatar als »Schnittstelle« zwischen Raum, Interaktion, Interface und Perspektive vorstellt.

    "The Avatar Faculty creatively examines the parallels between spiritual and digital activities to explore the roles that symbolic second selves-avatars-can play in our lives. The use of avatars can allow for what anthropologists call ecstasy, from the Greek ekstasis, meaning "standing outside oneself." The archaic techniques of promoting spiritual ecstasy, which remain central to religious healing traditions around the world, now also have contemporary analogues in virtual worlds found on the internet. In this innovative book, Jeffrey G. Snodgrass argues that avatars allow for the ecstatic projection of consciousness into alternate realities, potentially providing both the spiritually possessed and gamers access to superior secondary identities with elevated social standing. Even if only temporary, self-transformations of these kinds can help reduce psychosocial stress and positively impact health and well-being"--

    What are the characteristic features of avatar-based singleplayer videogames, from Super Mario Bros. to Grand Theft Auto? Rune Klevjer examines this question with a particular focus on issues of fictionality and realism, and their relation to cinema and Virtual Reality. Through close-up analysis and philosophical discussion, Klevjer argues that avatar-based gaming is a distinctive and dominant form of virtual self-embodiment in digital culture. This book is a revised edition of Rune Klevjer's pioneering work from 2007, featuring a new introduction by the author and afterword by Stephan Günzel, Jörg Sternagel, and Dieter Mersch.
