It first explores the two major challenges that make a strong rationale for such a focus and then it goes on to define video games in reference to the question they formally share with calligraphic practice. Lastly, the paper considers the specific influence of manga, the Japanese comic art, on the (de)sign of video games as a way to further probe into their engaging semiotic dynamics. Formally and thematically, the analysis shows that video games are evocative of the way we engage with the world through the gestural regimes of language and imaginationČlanek poda analizo videoiger z vidika igralnega procesa in njegove unikatno dinamične konfiguracije (psihološko/semiotske, estetske, potencialno politične). Analiza se najprej posveti dvema glavnima izzivoma, ki se kažeta kot odločilni razlog za omenjeno osredotočenost analize, nato pa definira videoigre v razmerju do kaligrafskih praks, s katerimi si delijo isto formalno vprašanje. Nenazadnje, članek obravnava specifičen vpliv mange (japonske stripovske umetnosti) na obliko(vanost) videoiger in njihove semiotične dinamike. Formalno in tematsko analiza prikazuje, da videoigre povzemajo način, kako se spopademo s svetom skozi gestualni režim jezika in imaginacijeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede
