Hi, I am a student in my final year of studying for my Bachelor of Arts degree in English (Hons).
For my dissertation I had the idea of working on video games in relation to literature focusing on storytelling/narrative in both media. Since I am very new to game studies I am finding it difficult to narrow down my focus. I have looked into storyworlds, interactivity, immersion, experientiality, narrativity, embedded & emergent narrative, cognitive/emotional aspects and a number of other terminology.
What dissertation research questions would you suggest for me to look into? Preferably it would be a topic which has either not been tackled before or needs improvement. Please keep in mind that I cannot focus solely on game studies and loose the literary aspect in my research question since I am sitting for a degree in English after all.
I will also be applying the theories used in my dissertation on one or two literary texts from which games have been developed. For example; Frankenstein, Alice in Wonderland, Dracula, Jane Eyre etc. Any suggestions for what literary texts, and their corresponding game, I can use for the research question are also welcome.
Thank you, your help it greatly appreciated!
