Knowledge of reality is a light that always casts a shadow (Bachelard, 1974)
--> DEFINING A CRITICAL POSITION
Feminist Methods? - Recting positivism and reductionism- Subjectivity, challenging objetivity, empowerment, social change (Harding, 1989)
R.Q.: What a feminist perspective can bring to game design?

The Game Design Workshop
• Action research (2 researchers / facilitators)
•GOALS: collective creation of prototypes of minigames about identity in the Internet
•CONTEXT: Seminar “Digital Industry and Gender” (Sevilla, 2014)
•17 participants, 4 hours

The Game Design Workshop: Hypothesis
R.Q.: What a feminist perspective can bring to game design?
The use of feminist tactics would facilitate the participants’s interest in game design, enabling the creation of new imageries and generating a sense of competence and empowerment

The Game Design Workshop: the Structure
1. Warm-up: Body-in-motion
2. Feminist performance practices
3. Embodied political meanings
4. Transduction & synesthetic thinking
5. Examples and mirrors
6. Inter-subjective experience
7. Prototyping: trial and error
Progressive Structure:• reducing difficulties with
game design
• creating a path
• facilitating creative process

Discussion & Conclusion
EMBODIED EXPERIENCE
SYNESTHETIC THINKING
INTERSUBJECTIVITY
- Use the body as a mediator of meaning making
-Learningandreflectingthrough concrete, “hands-on” experiences
- Transduction: remaking meaning across modes (Kress, 1997)
- Explore the value of materials (form as meaning)
- The personal is political
- The others as mirrors

Discussion & Conclusion
•EMPOWERMENT: Participants reported that now they feel that it was possible and easy to start designing games.
•PRODUCTION: Different games were prototyped proposing new imaginaries.
OPPORTUNITIES: The use of this methodology allowed new subjectivities to be brought into game design and thus it opened paths for generating new ways of designing games.
CHALLENGES: What if we apply this approach in other contexts?
