ד"ר נת'ניאל פור (Nathaniel Poor, מכון אנדרווד) יתארח ביום חמישי הקרוב (5.12.17, 14:15-15:45) בקורס האינטרנט וההמון וירצה על: Code, cultures and community in online games. ההרצאה תתקיים בחדר 610 בבניין הראשי.

תקציר ההרצאה:

Dr. Nathaniel Poor discusses some of his research into the intersection of online games, community, and code. In online games, especially massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft, the code literally is the virtual world which is then overlaid with human interpretations and norms. Although the technical does not drive the social in these socio-technical worlds, it does heavily structure and constrain human agency in them.
