RESUMO

Starting from the principle that are in the game and for the game that the civilization appears and develops (Huizinga, 2004), this thesis tries to understand and to reflect on the game as element of the culture, as well as identifying the formal characteristics of the game itself. The objective of this thesis is to think the presence and the consequences of the game about the contemporary culture and its dialogue with the technology and the new medias. The research used authors related to the universe of the game (Huizinga, Callois and Gadamer), contemporary culture (Lipovetsky, Jameson, Benjamin), narrative (Aristotle, Barthes, Echo, Murray) and technology (Bairon, Hansen and Santaella). The game is understood as language structure, a significant function that dialogues, therefore, with the current state of the art in the communication area, in which it can be understood in a expanded context. It is possible to think that game and communication are extremely close areas and that, for times, they confuse itself: the game is part of the communication and the communication is part of the game. However, new technologies had added to these new primordial aspects of the game configurations and possibilities, having become more frequent situations as individual games and the establishment of not actual relations between the players, for example. This requirement of an actual relation for the development of the digital games also does not cause what we call modifications in the playing experience, that is, the possibility to play a bigger variety of types of games from a minimum of abilities and abilities (physical variation). However, if the modifications in the experience of playing can represent a bigger democratization, accessibility and diversity of games, supports and situations of game, for another hand, if must have to take care so that it cannot represent a standardization of the games, what it can result in a very limited exploration of games universe and its expanded concept
