COLT040.07: Video Games and the Meaning of Life

Last offered 24F

Video Games and the Meaning of Life is an interdisciplinary course that explores the modern human condition through the stories, designs, and soundscapes of digital games—from the perils of obedience (Hannah Arendt andThe Stanley Parable) to the metaphors of illness (Susan Sontag andThat Dragon, Cancer), from the deathless dreams of pacifism (Undertale) to the transnational rise of today’s billion-dollar e-Sports industry (League of Legends). All students are welcome; no gaming or musical experience needed.
