Abstract

Game studies of theatrical approach explained interactive property of game in humanistic background. Those studies analyze the game, and based on Aristoteles Poetic Attribute. But theatrical approach has a problem by user's unpredictable intervention in narrative (Active narrative). This paper intended to see in the glance of any impact on the Aristotelian model by active narrative. As a result of the active narrative remake the causality between materials of drama. Also, it can be seen to define a kind of the "Improvisation" in theatrical view. But it exposed a essential difference in the form an expression by substance and material of media. It was defined forms of improvisation in the gaming environment which are 'Self-generated Individuality', 'Self-definition Faction', 'Eccentric Behavior Contending', 'Trolling' and 'Bug Play'. Finally this paper proposes the characteristics of the improvisation of the game and the direction to be improved game analysis model in humanities through forms of improvisation in game environment.

연극학을 통한 게임연구는 게임서사의 상호작용적 특성을 인문학적 배경에서 잘 설명해주었다. 이들 연구는 아리스토텔레스의 시학을 바탕으로 게임을 해석하고 있다. 하지만 사용자의 예측 불가능한 서사개입(능동서사)에 의해서 문제를 드러냈다. 본 논문에서는 능동서사가 아리스토텔레스적 모델에 어떠한 영향을 가져다주었는지를 파악하고자 하였다. 그 결과 능동서사는 드라마를 구성하는 질료간의 인과관계를 새롭게 구성한다는 것을 발견했다. 이것은 연극학적으로 보았을 때 '즉흥극'의 한 종류로 정의해 볼 수 있다. 하지만 그 발현의 형태는 행위의 질료와 방식에 의해 근본적인 차이가 있다. 게임의 환경에 특화된 게임 상 즉흥의 형태를 살펴보면 '자가 개성화', '자가 진형화', '기행의 경합', '트롤링', '버그 플레이'등으로 정의해 볼 수 있었다. 마지막으로 게임상 즉흥의 유형들과 예시들을 통해서 게임의 즉흥이 가지는 특성과 이를 통한 발전된 인문학적 게임 해석 모델의 방향성을 제시해 보고자 한다.
