Description

Digital Game Culture in Korea: The Social at Play is a critical ethnographic investigation that examines media discourses surrounding online game addiction whilst exploring the sociocultural roles games fulfil in everyday life. Florence M. Chee argues that characterising online games as singularly problematic overlooks their socially generative nature and pivotal importance as means of connection amongst players and communities. Through Korea's distinct sociohistorical and technocultural context, this work recognises the foundational role Korean games have played in digital culture, offering readers a nuanced perspective that moves beyond addiction narratives to understand how gaming functions as a social practice and community-building force in contemporary society.
