Game Histories

Why and how Atari’s first video game Pong established an industry that shapes consumers’ relationships to technology to this day. Pong is one of the longest, most consistently circulating video games. Released in 1972, it remains at our fingertips as an app from Google Play or Apple App Store, hosted at freepong.org and the Internet Archive, and even released as A Tiny Game of Pong for the Apple Watch. Despite its simplicity and ubiquity, Atari’s Pong encapsulates far more than the history of a video game and iconic game company. King Pong is the first book dedicated to an unassuming game that changed the world. Through the prisms of product positioning, market development, and category creation, Raiford Guins answers the question of why Atari’s inaugural product succeeded and why it endures.&nbsp; Author of Game After and Atari Design, and an excavator of the “Atari landfill” in New Mexico, Guins brings us a unique history that reconsiders the launch of Atari’s Pong from the perspective of the company’s business practices.&nbsp;He&nbsp;follows&nbsp;the young Silicon Valley startup&nbsp;from its early days first&nbsp;positioning&nbsp;its new product within the existing coin-op amusement industry&nbsp;to its&nbsp;establishment of&nbsp;a consumer industry for home video games—a story&nbsp;of&nbsp;remarkable&nbsp;market development innovation. Written with a passion for video games and a historian’s insight, the book animates the business exploits of one of the fastest growing and most influential companies ever.

In einer global vernetzten, digital durchdrungenen Welt genügt es nicht mehr, in geschlossenen Systemen zu denken. Der Blick richtet sich vielmehr auf das, was Systeme verbindet und definiert: das Spiel der Schnittstellen. Als Orte der Übertragung, Filterung, Übersetzung und Sinnbildung werden sie zu den zentralen Erkenntnisobjekten überhaupt. Zwischen Mensch und Maschine, Kultur und Technik, Sprache und Material ermöglichen sie nicht nur Austausch, sondern auch ständige Veränderung. Christian Stein führt interdisziplinäre Perspektiven aus&nbsp;Medien-, Kultur-, Technik- und Naturwissenschaften zusammen.&nbsp;So öffnet er ein neues Denken - eines, das Schnittstellen offenlegt und zu ihrer aktiven Mit- und Umgestaltung anregt.

Luftgummireifen sind allgegenwärtig, doch welche Rolle spielte Kautschuk in der Medizin und bei der Körperpflege? Als elastisches und undurchlässiges Material wurde Kautschuk durch die Entdeckung der Vulkanisation in den 1830er Jahren für medizinische und hygienische Anwendungen interessant. Samuel Eleazar Wendt beleuchtet die Aneignung dieses ursprünglich in Mittelamerika und am Amazonas genutzten Rohstoffs in Europa, wo er seit dem späten 18. Jahrhundert zunehmend in körperliche Praktiken integriert wurde. Dabei fokussiert er sich auf die Geschichte des Berliner Unternehmens C. Müller Gummiwaren AG (1875-1948), das entsprechende Artikel erstmals für den Massenmarkt produzierte.

How a lifelong engagement with experimental art informed the brilliant Czech-Brazilian philosopher Vilém Flusser’s early vision of a world dominated by glowing screens. Predicting the importance of technology and images in the twenty-first century as early as the 1970s, Vilém Flusser warned, “the basic structure of our thinking is about to experience a mutation.” The bewitching images and screens that surround us could lead toward a centrally programmed, totalitarian society—or another, better one characterized by dialogue and collaboration among humans and new forms of intelligence. In this book on the idiosyncratic and prescient Czech-Brazilian philosopher, art historian and critic Martha Schwendener explores the profound effect of art on Flusser’s thought. The Society of the Screen reveals how Flusser’s lifelong engagement with experimental practices—from abstract painting and concrete poetry in Brazil to video, cybernetics, and photography in Europe and the United States—as well as his extensive involvement with the São Paulo Biennial informed his belief that we were moving from “history”—a civilization informed by linear writing—into “post-history,” dominated by technical images. The book delves deeply into how Flusser’s ideas evolved, particularly in correspondence and collaboration with artists like Mira Schendel, Fred Forest, Wen-Ying Tsai, Harun Farocki, Louis Bec, and Karl Gerstner.

This book offers a comprehensive and practical introduction to the fundamentals of storyboarding, making it an ideal resource for aspiring filmmakers, animators, and visual storytellers. It bridges the gap between written scripts and visual storytelling by demonstrating how scenes are translated into storyboard panels. Readers can see how scripts are broken down into individual shots, and how those shots are visually constructed on the page.Each example includes detailed illustrations of storyboard panels that correspond to script excerpts, giving readers a clear sense of how to interpret narrative beats and visualize camera movement, composition, character blocking, and shot progression. The book explains key concepts in cinematic language-such as shot types (wide, close-up, over-the-shoulder, etc.), camera angles, and transitions-and shows how they are effectively employed in storyboarding.By studying these examples, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the visual grammar of film. They'll learn not only how to recognize different shot types, but also how to purposefully select and apply them to enhance storytelling, create emotion, and guide the viewer's eye.Whether you're a student or a working professional looking to sharpen your skills, this book serves as both an instructional manual and an applicable and visual reference guide.

Mastering Storyboarding

Building on contemporary scholarship on post-network television, feminism, melodrama, and crime television, Alison Wielgus analyzes post-network female detective television through the lenses of genre, industry, and discourses of police abolition to argue for a radicalization of crime television that incorporates discourses of restorative justice and a feminist ethics of care. This book positions post-network female detective television as a primary site to examine the intersections of cultural discourses like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, analyzing the roles of several components of the genre including serialization, circulation, family trauma, transnational victimhood, and discourses of police abolition, among others. Drawing on narrative and genre theory, this book argues that a melodrama/crime television dialectic undergirds post-network detective television, allowing the female detective to emerge as a contested figure representative of larger cultural tensions between gender and policing. While changing industrial measures have allowed for niche programing to evolve and more rigorously interrogate gender norms, Wielgus finds that this disruption rarely extends to the institution of policing itself. #MeToo's imperatives and precursors have worked toward deepening and complicating depictions of sexual assault and femicide with narrative nuance, but there remains an uneasy relationship between Black Lives Matter and policing discourses and the desire to position female detectives as heroic saviors in the production of copaganda narratives. Ultimately, this book identifies a central problem of crime television in the limitations the genre places on the construction and representation of the structural and societal functions of policing, even amid other strides in progressive representation.
