ITU Copenhagen and the ERC Making Sense of Games research project are proud to host their first Character Seminar. The aim of the Character<\/span> Seminar<\/span> is to take preliminary steps towards a general field of character<\/span> studies. While the focus of the MSG project is on character<\/span>s in games, the Character<\/span> Seminar<\/span> aims for a more generalized perspective. The seminar examines character<\/span>s from many different cultural genres, including games, literature, television, film, comics, historiography, news, sports, and more. A host of cross-disciplinary experts researching characters are invited to participate, including Susana Tosca (Roskilde University), Lukas R. A. Wilde (T\u00fcbingen University), Joleen Blom (IT University of Copenhagen), Hans-Joachim Backe (IT University of Copenhagen), Jan-No\u00ebl Thon (University of Bergen), Paolo Bertetti (University of Siena), Fredrik Breien (University of Bergen), Nicolle Lamerichs (Utrecht University), James Phelan (Ohio State University), Ida Broni Christensen (IT University of Copenhagen), and Espen Aarseth (IT University of Copenhagen).<\/p>\n Thursday October 31st<\/strong> 11:00 – 12:00 Susana Tosca Lukas R.A.
