Esports in the Asia-Pacific: Ecosystem, Communities, and Identities de Filippo Gilardi

Esports in the Asia-Pacific: Ecosystem, Communities, and Identities: Palgrave Series in Asia and Pacific Studies

Editat de Filippo Gilardi, Paul Martin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 oct 2023
This is an edited book that fills a gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive view of esports practice from the Asia and Pacific region. The volume looks at the development of esports through the interconnections between institutions, industries, players, and society, across the Asia-Pacific. Over the last two decades, the Asia-Pacific region has been central to the growth and development of esports. The value of this book lies in its ability to provide a view of esport from countries that are currently underrepresented in the literature such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines and Australia while still integrating chapters looking at more well-researched countries such as China, Korea, and Japan. Through its diverse case studies, the book serves as a resource for scholars and educators worldwide who seek diverse examples with which to improve understanding of the esports phenomenon and the inclusiveness of media and communication curricula.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This book as one of the first academic discourses on the Asia-Pacific esports sphere advances a new horizon in esports and game studies. By dexterously engaging with three different perspectives, including macro, meso, and micro levels of discussions, this book provides fascinating discussions fully supported by a multitude of theoretical and methodological frameworks. The quality of analyses by both leading and emerging scholars posits this book as an essential read for scholars and students alike.”
