GRAND THEFT AUTO PHENOMENOLOGY

Matteo Bittanti, Adam W. Ruch, Alberto Vanolo, Alistair Brown, David Leonard, Hava Aldouby, Jon Saklofske, Kiri Miller, Marc Ouellette, Mark David Teo, Martin Pichlmair, Michael Fleisch, Soraya Murray, Steffen Krüger



 

Grand Theft Auto is more than a video game: the popular Rockstar Games saga has captured the collective imagination thanks to a masterful interactive rewrite of the crime movie and pulp fiction. With five episodes under its belt and over two hundred and fifty million copies sold in the last twenty years, Grand Theft Auto has transcended the sphere of entertainment.


The various chapters - set in the virtual replicas of metropolises such as Los Angeles, New York and Miami - raise crucial questions regarding the representation of violence, the simulation of urban spaces and gender politics. Grand Theft Auto Phenomenology examines the social, cultural and artistic aspects of the series with input from international scholars.
