Fantasy Beyond History:

Games as Method for Ecocritical Understandings of Time and Change.

Abstract

This paper intends to explore some ways historical games, and game scholars interested in historical theory, can draw from the fantasy genre to address contemporary dilemmas brought about by the Anthropocenic condition. The research behind it is part of the broader project “Amazonian Dreams and the Relational Imagination”, which aims to combine scientific, historical, and Indigenous epistemologies to implement responses to the climate emergency.
