Hardware as a Paratext

• Talk at 2. BeSÍŤka – Paratexty aneb všechno kolem her • Ponrepo cinema, Prague

At the 2nd BeSÍŤka in Prague's Ponrepo cinema, dedicated to game paratexts, a talk was also given by David "Sanqui" Labský, a board member of our association. He considered how hardware itself can be understood as a paratext: a computer or console decides which games a player gets to play and how they will control them, and so shapes entire generations of players. Topics included the Didaktik, the MAŤO, Město Robotů and the Gravis Gamepad.

The talk is in Czech.
