O jogo digital como elemento de apoio ao resgate e à valorização do conteúdo cultural regionalizado

Abstract

The changes brought about by communication technologies estimulates the development of new languages, such as games, that attempt to account for this multiple incentives and meanings, and facilitate the access through new formats. Now, the spectator modifies the experience and builds knowledge at the same time. The digital game allows us to treat the contexts in a peculiar way. That incites a valorization of this contexts by a new audience, devoid of unusual interventions. It also foments the process described by Alves as “redefinition”, when the participant recognizes the content and takes it for himself. To better understand this process, an approach of Huizinga’s work is essential, identifying the several expressions of the game. We also need to consider an increasing of understanding about the fertile space that is established from the relationships we have with and through the game, identified by Winnicott and Luz. Murray and Turkle deal with aspects of immersion and interactivity. Thus, the game can act significantly in the recovery of regionalized cultural issues, democratizing access to it and facilitating its distribution through existing networks that are expanding every day.
