The cover of "A Ludic Society" presents a playful and modern design, set against a teal background. It features an isometric illustration of a cityscape with buildings in white and a central structure in vibrant pink, creating a focal point. The design incorporates gaming elements, such as pixelated graphics and game-like icons, suggesting a theme of playful interaction within society. The title "A Ludic Society" is prominently displayed in bold yellow and white text, capturing attention. Edited by Denk N., Serada A., Pfeiffer A., and Wernbacher T., the cover hints at an exploration of playfulness and games in the context of societal interactions. The overall aesthetic is engaging and contemporary, appealing to those interested in the intersection of games and culture. Contemporary game scholarship offers a broad palette of theories and methods inherited from such fields as sociology and communication studies, experimental sciences, literary analysis, educational sciences and cultural critique. At large, this inherently interdisciplinary research aims for a holistic perspective on the ‘LUDIC SOCIETY’. With that in mind, this book is organized into four sections that present related and often intertwined ideas and observations about the ways we manifest ourselves in games and play, how games represent us in the present and in the past, how games and play change us, and what it all may mean for contemporary society. This book invites readers to engage with the key challenges of a ludic society, explore new perspectives and initiate fruitful discussions. It is aimed at both passionate game scholars and all those who want to get a first taste of the multifaceted research field of game studies.
