In this course
H. Davies is a scholar of alternate reality games and participatory digital culture whose work appears in the course readings to theorize how game mechanics and narrative structures enable both creative worldbuilding and the spread of conspiracy theories. Their article on the ethics of alternate reality games, co-authored work on paranoia at play, and engagement with texts about QAnon and memetic warfare helps the course examine how ludic systems can simultaneously foster community, artistic expression, and coordinated disinformation. Davies's framework allows the seminar to understand contemporary phenomena like conspiracy gamification not simply as aberrations but as extensions of participatory digital media logics that blur entertainment, belief, and coordinated action.
