The Art of Failure pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
We may think of video games as being "fun," but in The Art of Failure, Jesper Juul claims that this is almost entirely mistaken. When we play video games, our facial expressions are rarely those of happiness or bliss. Instead, we frown, grimace, and shout in frustration as we lose, or die, or fail to advance to the next level. Humans may have a fundamental desire to succeed and feel competent, but game players choose to engage in an activity in which they are nearly certain to fail and feel incompetent. So why do we play video games even though they make us unhappy? Juul examines this paradox. In video games, as in tragic works of art, literature, theater, and cinema, it seems that we want to experience unpleasantness even if we also dislike it. Reader or audience reaction to tragedy is often explained as catharsis, as a purging of negative emotions. But, Juul points out, this doesn't seem to be the case for video game players. Games do not purge us of unpleasant emotions; they produce them in the first place. What, then, does failure in video game playing do? Juul argues that failure in a game is unique in that when you fail in a game, you (not a character) are in some way inadequate. Yet games also motivate us to play more, in order to escape that inadequacy, and the feeling of escaping failure (often by improving skills) is a central enjoyment of games. Games, writes Juul, are the art of failure: the singular art form that sets us up for failure and allows us to experience it and experiment with it. The Art of Failure is essential reading for anyone interested in video games, whether as entertainment, art, or education.

评分寫得不夠深入的兩點:隱約暗示了玩家與遊戲角色存在著二重結構的割裂,卻沒有很深入的分析;沒有深入地考察遊戲怎麼讓玩家體會到失敗(和改良失敗)。扯遠一點講,最後的立論也有點草率。雖然我對論述的深度有著諸多不滿,整套考察是齊整的,每章提出的遊戲觀察也很有趣。而且,寫給一般人的入門書系,能用這種文字寫到這種內容算很難得了,這點可以加分。

Kindle版图书已经买来很久。虽然是本小册子,但还是拖延直到今天才读完。不过,这种拖延绝非内容不够精彩。事实上,这种借由一个概念论述开来,牵一发而动全身的研讨实在出色极了——基本上是我所能够想到的游戏相关研究著作的最为理想的形式。当然,相较于大部头的更为严肃的...
