In case you haven’t heard, this year’s graduate theses from the Comparative Media Studies are now online at http://cms.mit.edu/research/theses.php. Here’s a taste of what you’ll find:
Interpreting abstract games—Jason Scott Begy SM ’10 proposes that understanding the various formal elements of games (such as the descending blocks in Tetris) as metaphors can serve us in two ways: it can make it easier for us to critically interpret the games and it can help designers make them more expressive.
Civic production in live-streaming mobile video—Audubon McKeown Dougherty SM ’10 analyzes overall production trends of mobile videos and investigates the motives and practices behind the production of civic content specifically.
Inclusive game play—Hillary Kolos SM ’10 argues that despite the recent increase in digital gaming players and platforms, digital gaming is not as inclusive as it could be. Kolos’ research includes an eight-month study focused on a group of MIT undergrad gamers.
Designing game ethics—Michelle Moon Lee SM ’10 explored ways to engage players in ethical decision making by designing a pervasive game adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo. Watch a video of Lee’s thesis presentation:
