  5. Playing games, experiencing games, experiencing story.

  6. Where does the “story” in the L4D example come from?

  7. Narrative emerges . But, what other ways does it work?

  8. Jenkins’ “narrative architecture.” A summary of narratology/ludology. Why “space”?

  9. How can space be used to understand narrative ? Identify and label Jenkins’ four models for how narrative maps onto game spaces Bring in an example ( not one that Jenkins uses) of a game that you think uses this model.

  10. Report back. What does this tell us about how narrative “works” in games? In contemporary games? (Jenkins’ piece is over a decade old).

  11. Evoked Enacted Embedded Emergent

  12. Identity and Performance. When we play games, we are not just experiencing story, we are often enacting it, performing it.
