You (Still) Need Love and Friendship for this Mission!
A paper of mine on the social education of youth in Final Fantasy 6, 7, & 8 appears today. It’s in the online journal Reconstruction: Studies in contemporary culture, in a special issue on videogame culture.
This paper (mentioned in a previous post) has a tortured history. The editors of this issue of Reconstruction, Matthew Wolf-Meyer and Davin Heckman, had initially issued a call for papers for a book of collected essays. Having put the collection together, they struggled in vain to find a publisher, and eventually gave up and decided to publish the essays in the journal. Aside from my own essay, there’s a lot papers on interesting subjects in the special issue, so check it out. Just be prepared to endure some awful web-design on the site.
If you’re actually planning to read the essay, I recommend my unofficial PDF version. As far as I know, it contains the exact same text, but unlike the official version, it won’t assault your eyes with a monospaced font.
