Do you think video games should be discussed in school just like books and movies are? What games would be interesting to interpret or discuss as pieces of art and why?
Ed ecco le risposte:
I think it would be a study called pop culture.
you could discuss in a larger context, or in specific game study classes, but the story of books and movies dont require action from you to make happen, so they will be 100% easier to be looked at in school. so probably not in the context youre looking for no.
There are games with themes to them, much like a set text for Literature class. I don’t see why they shouldn’t be discussed.
You could maybe use the scripts from the more story-driven games. I think The Last of Us would be a great choice for discussion though.
You could have a specific class as an elective covering the basics of game design, gaming history, and gaming hardware advances- which likely is already studied under tech. Also could be used as supplementary literature material; someone studying Atlas Shrugged, Brave New World, and 1984 would see how they influenced games like Bioshock.
