Abstract
Video games are often analysed as textual objects. This default literary point of view, while providing valuable conclusions, fails to observe some essential points that are realised in different modes of narration. Here I will analyse the Cyberpunk 2077 video game from a musical perspective. I will be “listening to” the game rather than “reading” it. This kind of hermeneutical approach will highlight certain ideas of CP2077. I will focus on the issue of dehumanisation, and show that musically the game places special emphasis on this. I will point out the musical characteristics that can affect players and interpret the rationale behind it.
期刊介绍:
“Przestrzenie Teorii” is a theoretical and literary journal of scholarly criticism. The journal is peer-reviewed and reflects the research interests of authors from across a wide range of universities in Poland, as well as presents translations of texts of distinguished foreign theoreticians in literature. The journal undertakes to present key and essential problems in the contemporary criticism and theory of literature, and provides a platform for a transdisciplinary dialogue. The published texts, presented in diversified methodological approach, address both aesthetical and poetical problems in different areas of research, encompassing theatre and film, but also drama and art (in particular, visual and performative art forms). The journal is characterized by its interdiciplinary approach, participates in the present-day scholarly discourse in the philosophy of science and attempts to effect its policy of fostering the polyphonic form of literary studies in drama. “Przestrzenie Teorii” is published semi-annually.
