Gran Turismo 7 and Me: An Autoethnographic Approach to Ludic Subjectivity
This paper presents an autoethnographic study of Gran Turismo 7 (Polyphony Digital, 2022), using the author's own play as the primary site of analysis.
- The paper is an autoethnographic study of Gran Turismo 7 (Polyphony Digital, 2022) that uses the author's own play as its primary site of analysis, examining how the game's structures establish a ludic subject-position the player is invited to inhabit.
- Central argument: the lived meaning of gameplay emerges at the interface between game, player, and the player's habitus, drawing on the implied player, theories of ludic subjectivity, and T.L. Taylor's assemblage of play.
- The analysis identifies distinct subject-positions the game offers, including the embodied racing driver engaged in striving play, the collector completing the garage, and the gearhead tweaking vehicle settings with outside automotive knowledge.
