Virtual Worlds, Digital Dreams: Imaginary Spaces of Middle Eastern Video Games
Original language description
This chapter analyses the cultural and technological processes and flows influencing both video game development and gaming cultures in the Middle East. It conceptualizes Middle Eastern video games as imaginary spaces that entangle diverse and contradictory processes: global cultural flows, media policies of nation states, visions and engagements of private entrepreneurs, and migration and appropriation of Western game genres and rule-systems. On a more general level, this chapter explores the structures and mechanisms underlying video game production, and how these evolved within the broader historical, cultural, and political context of the Middle East.
