STARS - ELO (Un)linked 2024: Keynote: Interactive digital narrative - a specific expression for a complex time
Algorithms & Imaginaries Submission Type Plenary Start Date/Time (EDT) 20-7-2024 1:00 PM End Date/Time (EDT) 20-7-2024 2:00 PM Location Algorithms & Imaginaries Abstract We can variously understand a particular work as continuing a long-established theoretical tradition or as a novel phenomenon, necessitating specific approaches. The talk focuses on the latter and delves into core issues and developments in the study and application of Interactive Digital Narratives. It will introduce the SPP model as an example of a novel theoretical approach influenced by cybernetics and cognitive narratolog and discusses steps towards a specific discipline, including model study programs, an encyclopedia, and a journal which integrates interactivity into articles. In terms of application, the talk will identify the representation of the complex issues of the 21st century (e.g. climate change and migration) as a crucial application area for IDN with the potential for positive societal effects.
