Queer Interfaces: Video Games, Bodies, and Theory

Video games are inherently queer because of the ways their formal properties and invitations to play disrupt normative ideas about (re)productivity and sociality. In this talk, I propose that video game interfaces can model alternative modes and moods for criticism in the humanities.
