Reviews

A thought-provoking new addition to the field of game studies, Todd Frobish’s Discourses at Play usefully examines how the language of games has been used to change public perceptions of world conflicts, cataclysms, and catastrophes. Intriguingly, Frobish considers the possibility that ludic language—words and ideas with playful overtones—may actually contribute to the resolution of such crises within the public imagination, and ultimately on the world stage. * Kenneth S. McAllister, Professor of Public & Applied Humanities, University of Arizona, USA *
