Abstract: Video games are inherently queer because of the ways their formal properties and invitations to play disrupt normative ideas about (re)productivity and sociality. In this talk, I propose that video game interfaces can model alternative modes and moods for criticism in the humanities.
The Feminist Futures Lecture Series offers presentations of current feminist research being carried out by faculty associated with the Institute. Drawing from the rich interdisciplinary, intersectional research environment that marks past work and frames future endeavours, the Feminist Futures Lecture Series continues the development of critical intellectual and political spaces and knowledge-building around gendered issues. In this friendly but critically engaged space, you are invited to connect with a community of scholar-activists associated with Women’s and Gender Studies at Carleton University.
