No Show 2012 - Clara Fernández-Vara - Environmental Storytelling No Show Conference
Whenever there is a talk about narrative design, it tends to end up being a laundry list of examples of how the environment can be used to communicate the backstory of the game world without cutscenes. This talk is different: rather than just focusing on the backstory, we are going to explore how environmental design creates opportunities for gameplay. The focus will be on leaving traces and indications in the space, both by the designers and the players. This is called “indexical storytelling,” because interpreting and engaging with these traces is the core of narrative gameplay. These traces are systematically classified depending on their type: they can turn the player into a detective, help create an identity, teach the player what to do (or not) and how, give a sense of progress or mess up with other players. Although there will be a couple of requisite mentions of Portal and Bioshock, some of the core examples come from games as diverse as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Myst, Super Mario 64, Metal Gear Solid, Demon’s Souls and Colossal Cave Adventure.

Different Culture - Different sign perceptionguest5efb65
One's own culture provides the "lens" through which we view the world; the "logic"... by which we order it; the "grammar" ... by which it makes sense.
In other words, culture is central to what we see, how we make sense of what we see, and how we express ourselves

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. The Greek word ‘logos’ indicates a rational principle and order to explaining phenomena semiology Semiology seeks to identify how the content of media messages come to have significance and mean what they do ‘sem’ comes from the Greek for sign and is found in words such as semaphore and semantics
3. Semiology The study of meaning and the different systems that make meaning possible Images Colour Bodily gestures Music Media forms in all their variety
4. Rhetoric Draws our attention to what someone is saying, along with the setting, the way they speak, etc. Semiology Why do specific things (a ‘posh’ accent, a black face, a suit and tie, a grey backdrop, the street rather than the studio, mean what they do? How is meaning created? Not in the mind of the reader ... Not in the text ... In the interaction between reader and text
5. ‘Psychologically, what are our ideas, apart from our language? They probably do not exist. Or in a form that may be described as amorphous. We should probably be unable according to philosophers and linguists to distinguish two ideas clearly with the help of language’ (Saussure, 1993) Language doesn’t describe the world ... it constitutes it!
6. Key thinkers Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) Charles Sanders Pierce (1839-1914) Roland Barthes (1915-1980) Umberto Eco (1932 - )
7. Core ideas Media texts are constructions Not natural but manufactured Meanings are the result of social convention not any ‘essential’ property in things or the relationship of words or other signs to the things or concepts depicted Meanings are socially determined, the organisation and rules of language Meaning is as much a result of conventions as it is the intentions of those who produced the texts
8. The meaning of a song is not fixed by the songwriter or singer Meanings are produced by the conventions of used both by media workers and the listeners who consume it Hidden meanings/sub-texts
9. Why stop at red? Signs Signifier = physical properties of a sign Signified = the conceptual aspect of the sign
10. The picture of dog presents us with the sign ‘dog’. The signifier (the image itself, with 2D physical properties) presents the signified of both ‘dogness’ and this particular dog (Sparky) in the image.
11. I took my dog to the vets on Friday. I’m dog-tired. I’m going to kill that dog of a boyfriend of mine. Don’t focus on the analysis of signs at the level of signifier and signified as the basis of understanding. Stay at the level of the sign as a way of understanding how language works
12. From linguistics to media studies Saussure was a linguist who realised that his analysis of language could be applied to any form of communication or signifying system. So, we can extend the semiological approach to identify the signs in Computer games TV programmes Podcasts Magazine articles Adverts Films Pieces of music And this will take us deeper than rhetoric allowed
13. Semiology: tools & techniques Signs combine together to create meaningful text Single word signs – sentences – paragraphs – stories Written elements – typeface – images – photos Facial features – hairstyles – clothing – backgrounds Meaning is determined by the selection of signs and their combination in text Semiology makes sense of the process and the signifying results of that selection and combination
14. Langue Parole Paradigm or syntagm Synchronic diachronic The whole system of signification and its elements Any particular utterance derived from the system or langue Principles or rules of how language or any signifying system is put together. Paradigm is the vertical relationship: syntagm is the horizontal relationship Study or meaning making at a particular time Changes in language over time
15. Verbal and visual signs Don’t be fooled! Once an object is captured by a signifying system (a dog in digital photographic form or on filmic celluloid) it is no longer an innocent object. It now exists as a sign – something selected and embraced within a system of communication
16. Texts made out of complex signs What are the most significant elements of this text? Which signs are most meaningful and how are they meaningful in the hierarchy of the text?
17. Denotation & connotation Barthes took up Saussure’s work and used them to think about the social context and role of the media Any sign will be associated with an initial aspect of signification but that this will trigger further associations Literal meaning – denotation Further associative meanings - connotation
18.
19. Sign-object relationships Pierce suggested three possible relationships between signs and the objects to which they refer: Iconic relationship Indexical Symbolic
20. Organisation of signs in texts Different signs combined differently create different readings – connotations change Inflection Reinforcement Transformation Polysemy – we read signs differently depending on our particular social context especially in relation to power
21. Eco and code Polysemous readings are possible because of the notion of ‘code’ a means of converting information into a special format in order to communicate it A set of rules for doing so If the code that is used by the reader is a different one to that used to create a text then a reading different to that intended by the creators will result. Preferred readings Aberrant readings Media producers want to keep aberrant readings to a minimum. How do they do that?
22. Semiological analyses How do you know that any such analysis is valid? Demonstrating inter-subjective reading Providing detailed structural support for our analysis Ultimately, how persuasive can we be?
