The Art of Failure pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 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.
Juul的書都喜歡!
評分其實論述並不精彩,觀點也很樸實,探討得稍欠深刻,但這個切入點太好瞭——失敗乃是遊戲的樂趣來源。可以位列遊戲愛好者必讀書目之一。另一方麵,似乎寫“失敗”的篇幅比寫遊戲的篇幅還要多,所以也可以當作一本自我管理書籍來讀。
評分整本書並沒有很明確的立論,提齣瞭問題並給予瞭一些相關的論述,雖然很符閤學術規範很Argument-Oriented,然而並沒有很強的Argument,不過是一些相關的observation和insight。也許被標題和Juu抬得期待過高,並不很滿意,所幸篇幅不長,無妨一看。
