It is embedded in a large and very heterogeneous landscape of theoretical and methodological approaches that come from various disciplines and cover different thematic, historical and geographic areas. Jointly conducted by four researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds, this course includes a lecture series combined with a discussion class (tutorium) and focuses on the contributions and limitations of inherited and current notions of transculturality. Focusing on three study areas, \u201cSociety, Economy and Governance,\u201d \u201cKnowledge, Belief and Religion\u201d and \u201cVisual, Media and Material Culture,\u201d and the respective fields of research of the lecturers, theories and methods will be tested, e.g. in explorations of Japanese cinema, global \u201cart\u201d cinema and transcultural filmmaking practices, circular movements in the development of \u201cModern Postural Yoga,\u201d and the relationship between patterns of migration and modes of institutionalization. The goal of the course is to introduce students to diverse disciplinary perspectives enabling them to frame their own studies of transcultural phenomena and perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--9\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cats.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/jdts\/course\/jk01001\/\" style=\"border-radius:7px;background-color:#597eaa;color:#ffffff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about this course \u2794<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><strong><span style=\"color:#597eaa\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Visual, Media and Material Culture (VMC)<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#597eaa\"><strong>Play, Transcultural: Interdisciplinary Game Studies 101<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cats.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/jdts\/course\/jk33001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games101_KeyVisual-1024x304.png\" alt=\"Play, Transcultural KeyVisual: hands holding a controller, magnifying glass, dogs playing D&amp;D.\" class=\"wp-image-10242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games101_KeyVisual-1024x304.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games101_KeyVisual-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games101_KeyVisual-768x228.png 768w, https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games101_KeyVisual.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Game analysis, game studies, or ludography exemplify different names and approaches to the growing field of research on games and gaming. Studying the meaning of playing digital and analog games and their complexity as (trans-) cultural artifacts asks for combining new and old research tools from the humanities and social sciences \u2014 and more because gaming relates to many spheres of human activity. This practice-oriented and interactive seminar focuses on theoretical concepts and practical analytical techniques to engage transculturality in the cross-disciplinary research field of games.<br>The course engages questions of what makes a game, considering classics, such as Huizinga\u2019s Homo Ludens and the often-misunderstood tool of the \u201cmagic circle\u201d of play, taking cues from Wittgenstein\u2019s family resemblance, and exploring the dynamic discourse of game design with Salen and Zimmerman\u2019s Rules of Play. Primarily, we will deal with approaches to analyzing games as complex media artifacts that exist in being played. Thus, the course offers concrete step-by-step guidelines for researching the context, formal, narrative, and visual elements, and the interactive and immersive aspects of games. In this, we will also pay attention to community-building moments and border-crossing flows, questions of representation and appropriation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--10\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cats.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/jdts\/course\/jk33001\/\" style=\"border-radius:7px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#597eaa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about this course \u2794<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transcultural Studies (Fall)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><span><span style=\"\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong style=\"color: rgb(89, 126, 170); font-weight: bold;\">Society, Economy and Governance (SEG)\/<\/strong><font color=\"#597eaa\">Visual, Media and Material Culture (VMC)<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color:#597eaa\"><strong>Play, Advanced: Transcultural Game Studies 102<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cats.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/jdts\/course\/jk50001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games102_KeyVisual.png\" alt=\"Play, Advanced KeyVisual: dice, magnifying glass, person playing at a Game Boy.\" class=\"wp-image-10245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games102_KeyVisual.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games102_KeyVisual-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games102_KeyVisual-1024x304.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Games102_KeyVisual-768x228.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This practice-oriented and interactive seminar seeks to establish an understanding of theories of transculturality, interactivity, immersion, and user agency and various angles of valuable methodology for the study of games and gaming.<br>Extending and revisiting the course JK33001 \u201cPlay, Transcultural,\u201d this class engages questions of what makes a game, considering classics, such as Huizinga\u2019s Homo Ludens, taking cues from Wittgenstein\u2019s family resemblance, and exploring the dynamic discourse of game design, incorporation (\u201cimmersion,\u201d see Gordon Galleja\u2019s In-Game), and bleed.

The instructor has co-created games about social withdrawal (\u201chikikomori\u201d) and neurominorities, where participants could learn through first-person experiences but metaphorically about the challenges of these groups with mainstream society. This course builds on the design principles behind these projects.<br>Taking cues from relational materialism and a transcultural approach to studying culture as ordering difference, this course offers a framework for analyzing societal actors, ranging from individuals to institutions and creating educational games about the interactions of these actors. The goal is to understand the decision-making as well as the mechanisms, embodiments, and performances employed by actors to reach their goals.<br>The picture of agents making a move and others a counter move, so that the outcome is not random chaos but that still no one has complete control, the metaphor of society or culture as some kind of game, framing social interactions as a game, asks to be taken seriously. Thus, this class includes a group project of designing a gaming simulation about a social or cultural conflict of the participants\u2019 choosing, such as a card game about tourism and taxes or a role-play about climate change denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--12\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cats.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/jdts\/course\/jk53001\/\" style=\"border-radius:7px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#597eaa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about this course \u2794<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u4eac\u90fd\u5927\u5b66 \u4e0b\u8a18\u306f\u3001\u73fe\u5728\u3001\u4eac\u90fd&#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/research\/teaching\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7767,"parent":6,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-296","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P2XtUo-4M","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10256,"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/296\/revisions\/10256"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.b-ok.de\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
