Games and Virtual Worlds" will be out soon from MIT Press - it has a sustained and interesting discussion of ethnographic methods in virtual worlds/online games! Tom Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 12:13:06 -0600 From: "Andras Lukacs" <Alukacs@luc.edu> Subject: [Air-L] Virtual Ethnography - Methodological Considerations To: <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> Message-ID: <49A292D2.E8EB.00AF.0@luc.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hello ? I'm trying to compile a methodological bibliography (qualitative/ethnographic) on critical studies of virtual realms/ games. The best works that actually consider methods seriously are Tom Boellstorff's book on SL and Dmitri Williams' paper - imho. (Gary Fine's ethnography on D&D is a classic of course). May I pick the lists' collective brain and get further references/suggestions? Cheers. Andras Lukacs PhD Candidate
