[Air-L] Intergenerational Locative Play: Augmenting Family

[Evans L.]

Dear AoIR colleagues,

We wanted to share some information about our new book. Intergenerational Locative Play: Augmenting Family is out today (Emerald Press) by Michael Saker and Leighton Evans and might interest colleagues.

Intergenerational Locative Play: Augmenting Family examines the social, spatial and physical impact of the hybrid reality game (HRG) Pokémon Go on the relationship between parents and their children. This is a book that has emerged from our Pokémon Go project (City University and Swansea University) and engages with the role that digital technologies, such as video games, play in the social, cultural and family lives of children and how the intergenerational play of video games can strengthen familial connections by facilitating communication between adults and children, and allowing adolescents to experiment with a range of roles in that play.

The longer description can be found on the website, with a free sample of the introduction chapter: https://bit.ly/3p015Yb

If anyone is interested in reviewing the book, please contact me!
