Paul Wake and Chloé Germaine will be giving a keynote presentation at this year’s DiGRA Italia convention in Torino.

The theme of the conference is ‘Analog Games in the Digital Age: Playing in the Twenty-first Century’ and it investigates the importance of material experiences and analog forms of play. Paul and Chloé’s keynote presentation will focus on the material turn in game studies, with reference to their book Material Game Studies: A Philosophy of Analogue Play (Bloomsbury, 2022).

The conference will take place at Università di Torino. The event is curated by Giaime Alonge, Riccardo Fassone, and Paolo Ruffino. The organizing committee is Alessia Ianni-Palarchio, Giacomo Lauritano, Fabrizio Matarese and Mauro Mola. For more information, visit DiGRAItalia.org.
