Game Studies in Brazil Book I: Experiences in Education, Health Science, Poetics and Game Analysis

This book presents an insight into Game Studies in Brazil. In this first volume, we aim to highlight some of the scholarly works and projects being carried out from different academic perspectives. The works in this book show loyalty to their authors' mother areas of knowledge such as Education, Health Sciences, Poetics, Video Game Analysis, and Literary Criticism. In the next volume, the chapters are in the fields of Psychology, Pedagogy, Computer Science, Didactics, and Literary Studies.

These chapters are research contributions to Game Studies and to their own original areas as they bring new knowledge to their fields with focus on the Brazilian context. However, what stands out – intentionally – is the personal and memoir-writing qualities as the writers do not avoid reflecting on their personal experiences and cultural surroundings.
