The Paradox of Transgression in Games

By Kristine Jørgensen and Torill Mortensen

Drawing on qualitative player studies and approaches from media aesthetics theory, The Paradox of Transgression in Games looks at transgressive games as an aesthetic experience, tackling how players respond to game content that shocks, disturbs, and distresses, and how contemporary video games can evoke intense emotional reactions.
