Situation
The goal of this interdisciplinary project is to examine digital games developed in Switzerland during the second half of the last century as sources for the study of Swiss society from the perspectives of history, computer science, sociology, design, media studies, cultural studies and gender studies. In this way, we also want to consider the extent to which the different language regions of Switzerland experienced digitalisation independently, or in interaction with each other.
