Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the sociocultural context of the pre-game period, and how the context influenced on the identity formation of games. Games did not develop with the fixed and stable identities. Instead, games is the outcome which is conceived in the history of articulation of various discourses, technologies and social factors. The mechanical amusement devices was consumed for the urban entertainment, and made a strained relations with the society for the speculative and pathological characteristics. The mechanical amusement has extended to the electronic games in 1970s, and reached the present digital game culture.

본 연구의 목적은 전(前)게임기의 사회문화적 맥락은 어떠했으며, 그것이 게임의 정체성 형성에 어떻게 작용했는지를 고찰하는 것이다. 게임은 그 존재양식이 처음부터 고정되어 일관된 정체성을 지니고 발전한 것이 아니다. 다양한 담론과 기술, 사회적인 요소와의 접합 과정에서 역사적으로 배태된 결과물이라 할 수 있다. 1960년대 회전당구를 비롯한 기계오락 장치는 도시 대중의 유흥을 위해 활발히 소비되었으며, 본격적으로 게임이 등장하기 전에 사행성 문제 및 병리적 현상으로서 사회적 긴장 관계를 형성하였다. 이들 기계오락은 1970년대 이후 전자오락으로 이어지는 흔적이 나타나는 등 현재 디지털 게임 문화의 흐름과 맞닿아 있다.
