1. The study of game aesthetics is a very&nbsp;2. recent practice, spanning less than two&nbsp;3. decades. Unlike game studies in mathematics&nbsp; 4. or the social sciences, ........ are much older, 5. games became subject to humanistic study&nbsp; 6. only after computer and video games became&nbsp; 7. popular. This lack of persistent interest might&nbsp; 8. seem odd, but only if we see traditional 9. games and computer games as intrinsically&nbsp;&nbsp; 10. similar, ........ they are not. We might try to 11. explain this lack by noting that games are 12. usually seen as trivial and lowbrow by the 13. aesthetic and theoretical elites ........ cultivate&nbsp; 14. the analysis of artistic media objects:&nbsp; 15. literature, the visual arts, theatre, music, etc.&nbsp; 16. But this does not explain the fact that&nbsp;17. aesthetic studies of games are now not only&nbsp; 18. possible, but even encouraged and supported 19. with funding. What happened to cause this&nbsp; 20. change? 21. A possible explanation could be that digital&nbsp; 22. games, unlike traditional games or sports,&nbsp; 23. consist of non-ephemeral content (stored&nbsp; 24. words, sounds and images), which places 25. them much closer to the ideal object of the&nbsp;&nbsp; 26. Humanities, the work of art. Thus, they 27. become visible and textualizable for the&nbsp;&nbsp; 28. aesthetic observer, in a way the previous&nbsp; 29. phenomena were not. 30. However, this sudden visibility, probably&nbsp; 31. also caused by the tremendous economic and&nbsp; 32. cultural success of computer games, produces&nbsp;&nbsp; 33. certain blind spots in the aesthetic observer,&nbsp;&nbsp; 34. especially if he/she is trained in textual/visual&nbsp;35. analysis, as is usually the case. Instead of&nbsp; 36. treating the new phenomena carefully, and as&nbsp; 37. objects of a study for which no methodology&nbsp; 38. yet exists, they are analyzed with tools that&nbsp; 39. happen to be at hand, such as film or&nbsp; 40. narrative theories. Therefore we need to&nbsp; 41. outline and promote a methodology for the42. aesthetic study of games, which, given the&nbsp; 43. current nascent state of the field, will 44. doubtlessly give way to more sophisticated&nbsp;45. approaches in the years to come.&nbsp; Adapted from: Aarseth, Espen.
