Abstract

Ovaj pokusni etnografski rad iz područja digitalne antropologije bilježi i tumači komunikaciju igrača tijekom Hearthstone meča. Naime, radi se o strateškoj online videoigri kartama koja nasumično spaja dva anonimna igrača sličnih vještina s ciljem snižavanja suparničkih životnih bodova na nulu. Rad proučava promjene značenja ograničene komunikacije dozvoljene sukobljenim igračima. Naglasak je na analizi komunikacijskog sustava unutar videoigre, odnosno tumačenju značenja ovisnih o kontekstu. Pozornost će biti usmjerena i na različite načine ometanja tijeka igre te koncept toksičnosti unutar Hearthstone zajednice.

Abstract (english)

This untried ethnographic work in the field of digital anthropology records and interprets player communication during a Hearthstone match. Hearthstone is a strategic online card game that randomly connects two anonymous players of a similar skill level with the aim of lowering opponents’ life points to zero. This paper examines changes in the meaning of limited communication allowed to the opposed players. The emphasis is on the analysis of the communication system within the game and the interpretation of meanings dependent on the context. Attention will also be paid to various ways of disrupting the course of the game and the concept of toxicity within the Hearthstone community.
