Call for Papers

The call for papers for "Eludamos. Journal for Computer Game Culture" is now open, and we again would like to welcome submissions dealing with everything that is relevant to the field of game studies. We especially encourage contributions focusing on "Independent Games", since this is our thematic focus for the PERSPECTIVES section in the September edition.

We further would like to emphasize our academic game review section. Close "readings" of games are still rare, although much insight about the aesthetics and potentials of this young medium is to be gained from the practice of critical analysis. Tell us why a particular game is noteworthy, what can be learnt from it for practice of game design or in how far it is a culturally and / or socially relevant artefact. Please note that from now on, all articles undergo a double blind peer review process except for papers submitted to the game review section. We still expect all submission to be in english and accept full papers only. For further specificiations about our submission guidelines please consult http://www.eludamos.org.

The next issue is due to appear in September 2008.

Submissions can be made throughout the year, however, articles for the September edition
must be submitted by June 20th 2008. Submissions that reach us after that date will be considered for the next issue.
