Аннотация

In Adventure and Meeting untersucht die Theaterwissenschaftlerin Gerke Schlickmann das faszinierende Phänomen LARP (Live Action Role Playing) unter theater- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Aspekten.
Der erste Teil bietet eine anschauliche Einführung und eine allgemeine theoretische Einordnung dieser besonderen Rollenspielform, wobei sich die Autorin auf das Fantasy-Genre konzentriert. Der zweite Teil untersucht LARP als theatrales Ereignis und führt vor, dass die theaterwissenschaftliche Perspektive besonders geeignet ist, die spezifischen Merkmale von Live-Rollenspiel zu erfassen. Außerdem zeigt sich, dass ein Phänomen wie LARP innovative Antworten auf verschiedene Problemstellungen des Theaters zu geben vermag und die Diskurse um Aufführung, Performativität oder Gender mit spannenden neuen Aspekten bereichern kann.
Ein fundiertes Grundlagenwerk, das die Mechanismen von LARP als kulturelle Praxis ausführlich erklärt.

Christlich geprägte Erwachsenenbildung, die deutsch-deutsche Teilung, Genderfragen, soziologische und theaterwissenschaftliche Herangehensweisen an das gemeinsame Spiel – man muss sich im LARP nicht mit derartigen Themen beschäftigen. Aber man kann! Die Aufsatzsammlung LARP: Nur ein Spiel? lädt dazu ein, sich mit neuen Perspektiven, Konzepten und Vorstellungen von LARP als Hobby, aber auch als Medium, auseinanderzusetzen.
Zusammengestellt und aufbereitet anlässlich der Live-Rollenspiel-Konferenz MittelPunkt 2013.

Die Dissertation Role Playing Materials untersucht die materielle Seite von Larp, Mixed Reality und Pen'n'Paper Rollenspielen. Wie kooperieren Gewandung, Virtuelle-Realität-Brille, oder ein Bleistift mit Erzählung und Spielregeln? Neben Antworten auf diese Frage versucht das Buch das Verständnis von Rollenspiel als eine Handlung zu erweitern, die nicht nur von Menschen geprägt wird.
Role Playing Materials examines how larp, mixed and tabletop role-playing games work. Costumes, computers, pen and paper are not passive elements. Materials change and are changed during role-playing game sessions, because they work together with narrative and ludic elements. If we think about materials as social elements, how do they make role-playing games work? To answer this question, Role Playing Materials draws on ethnographic fieldwork among role-playing communities in Germany. The analysis draws upon the fields of game studies, and science, technology and society studies.
