Alberto Venegas Ramos
Videogames are becoming a highly relevant historical source, thereby marking a methodological turn that had been neglected to date.
The historian Alberto Venegas returns with an essential book to understand the role that videogames are having in the construction and visualization of historical accounts.
The video game industry is not only an immense machine capable of generating mountains of money, it is also a complex mechanism in which the past is thought about, history is constructed and memory is given visual form. Continuing the investigation begun in his previous work (Interactive Past), Alberto Venegas proposes in this new title to analyze how historical material is integrated into the bowels of video games and what images they offer us of past events. On our screens we can experience history in a whole new way, leaping from the pages of books into an immersive environment where (almost) anything is possible, but what are the (historiographical) consequences of it all?
