Dimas T. de Lorena Filho

CGL | TH Köln University of Applied Sciences

Originally from Brazil, Dimas is a journalist and media scientist, who is now finishing his bachelor’s in Digital Games (Game Design). Always interested in media, representation and technology, his previous master’s degree focused on how platforms like Second Life (and the so-called metaverse today) compare to the World Wide Web in terms of semiotic patterns. In the field of Game Design, his main interests gravitate around game genres and their definitions, as well as the use of digital games for political activism. 

He is also an intern for Community Management at a global game publisher. Since 2019, Dimas is part of the Brain & Play Research Group, led by Prof. Dr. Emmanuel Guardiola. The work presented at The Young Academics Workshop was developed in collaboration with that group.

    The field of female representation has been thoroughly investigated in the last decades. Taking those investigations as a basis, specifically the one conducted by Erving Goffman when studying advertisement, I would like to bring this discussion to the discipline of game design. More than character design or narrative aspects, I want to analyze how the mechanics, gameplay, and player experience are designed for female characters.

    In his studies, Goffman, coined seven categories in an attempt to show how women were portrayed in advertising. The idea here is to adapt those categories to game design aspects, thus achieving a comprehensive summary of how female characters are designed in games, as much as Goffman did for advertising. The study will also help to understand how games remediate advertising in those aspects, by examining if Goffman’s findings are reflected in game design.
