Abstract
The article is devoted to the videogame interpretation and the basic hermeneutic approaches to interpretation of videogames. Videogames are complex contemporary phenomenon that differs from other media with its interactivity and specific relations between game and player. The absence of common methodology, especially hermeneutic methodology, makes it hardly possible to deal with the interpretation of videogames and understanding of specific features of interpretation of games by player, spectator and developer. Key concepts of hermeneutics important for the solving the tasks of the article are described. Four basic hermeneutic approaches are delineated according to the core concept of understanding the videogame phenomenon: 1) game hermeneutics / hermeneutics in general – without specific core concept (videogame is interpreted without consideration of its interactivity); 2) ludo-hermeneutics – with the game as core concept (videogame is interpreted as a game, but the game is prioritized above player); 3) procedural hermeneutics – with rules as core concept (videogame is interpreted as procedural system; this approach does not consider the importance of player’s actions and possibility of breaking rules); 4) real-time hermeneutics – with interactivity as core concept (videogame is interpreted as interactive system; this approach states the particular role of player and distinguishes it from the role of spectator). The detailed characteristics of mentioned approaches are given. The plurality of interpreters of videogames is mentioned. Not only players, who interpret games with the view of winning, but also spectators and developers can interpret videogames differently because of different positions and influence on interpretation of each other. Uncovered field of interpretation is described.
