Thought-Provoking Play: Political Philosophies in Science Fictional Videogame Spaces from Japan
Martin Roth's study examines whether Japanese science-fictional videogames can serve as spaces for political philosophy, specifically by stimulating the political imagination that Roth argues is threatened by neoliberal capitalism's narrowing of perceived alternatives.
- Roth argues that videogames function as an 'ideational' or 'enacted' space co-produced by designers, the computer, and players, where rule systems, narrative, representation, and randomness generate conflicts that resist full simulation; he frames this as a hypothesis tested through close analysis rather than a demonstrated finding.
- The study is motivated by the claim that neoliberal capitalism narrows perceived alternatives and threatens the political imagination, and it proposes Japanese science-fictional games as spaces that can stimulate that imagination.
- Science-fiction titles accounted for only seven of 204 million-selling Japanese games, yet held a steady 10 to 15 percent of annual top-100 sales between 2000 and 2011, with the market dominated by Gundam franchises.
