The meta-referential intention to transpose scientific research from written word to the playing field opens up a range of different challenges, such as:<\/p>\n<p>Is it always necessary to employ verbal languages to produce texts on games and their related practices and cultures? Or is it possible to create meta-pieces, \u201cGames on Games,\u201d reflecting on some aspects of play using ludic mechanics and conventions?<\/p>\n<p>What are the distinctive characteristics of Games on Games? What are their limits and their argumentative, rhetoric and persuasive potentialities? Are Games on Games able to highlight some elements of play practices more effectively than traditional texts? Can they make visible some characteristics of ludic practices that could otherwise remain undervalued or even invisible?<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><span>tags:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/games\">games<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/project\">project<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/game_studies\">game_studies<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/nirtak\/analysis\">analysis<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
