Czech and Slovak cultural heritage in video games

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter focuses on the depiction of Czech heritage sites in contemporary video games. The methodological starting point is not only the traditional approaches of memory and heritage studies, but also Espen Aarseth&apos;s thesis on reconstructions of physical worlds in video games (ludoforming). In particular, the distinction between game topography and topology allows for finding and analyzing the different roles of heritage sites in games. At the core of the chapter are empirical probes based on the Czech games Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Hrot. The theses of the chapter are then complemented by partial findings regarding the representation of the past in the Slovak game Felvidek. The main conclusion based on the analysis is primarily a confirmation of the relationship between the way the historical landscape is portrayed and the commemorative acts that the game stimulates. Accurately depicted historical landscapes stimulate the discovery of historical artifacts (even in the real world), while more schematic depictions of memory sites rely primarily on historical meanings of places that originated outside the game.
