Gonzalo Frasca has just posted his excellent 2007 PhD dissertation, “Play The Message”. To quote Gonzalo:<\/p>\n
I haven’t posted anything in years \u2013I’ve been too busy working on my game studio, Powerful Robot Games. And I’m enjoying it a lot.<\/p>\n
So, I’ve been pretty much outside from the ludology\/game studies field since I completed my PhD dissertation in 2007. I didn’t share the file online since I wanted to publish it in book form. I still want to but, let’s face it, it’s been almost 4 years… So I decided to share the pdf with you guys out there. It’s about games but mainly about Play. And communication. Play Rhetoric. And toys, too. Hope you enjoy it!<\/p>\n
Here it is:<\/p>\n
