Rather than viewing genre history as a succession of isolated innovations, it conceptualizes horror games as a family whose members inherit, transform, and reactivate shared traits across generations. Within this lineage, microhorror emerges as a distinctive and revealing descendant. Emerging during the independent horror revival of the 2010s, short horror games simultaneously extend the genre and preserve its memory. Reviving obsolete aesthetics, mechanics, and forms from early gaming history, they transform retro technologies, childhood memories, and familial anxieties into uncanny experiences that foreground the repressed remnants of video game history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk 2: For this presentation, I would like to examine horror video games from Japan in terms of their intermedial and transnational dimensions. The aim is to analyze the transmedia aesthetics of Japanese horror video games, such as the Resident Evil (Biohazard), Silent Hill or Fatal Frame (Zero) series, particularly in their close relationship with cinema and inside the media mix marketing strategies, while also exploring their transcultural imagery through the tensions at play between the imaginary constructs of \u201cJapan\u201d and \u201cthe West.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u6765\u308b2026\u5e7410\u670827\u65e5(\u706b\u66dc\u65e5)\u3001\u7acb\u547d\u9928\u5927\u5b66\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u7814\u7a76\u30bb\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u306b\u3088\u308b2026\u5e74\u5ea6\u7b2c8\u56de\u5b9a\u4f8b\u7814\u7a76\u4f1a\u3092\u5b9f\u65bd\u81f4\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002\u767a\u8868\u8005\u306f\u3001Bernard Perron\u6c0f\u304a\u3088\u3073Martin Picard\u6c0f\u3067\u3059\u3002\u304a\u8a98 <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/?p=3604\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-event","category-seminar"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3604"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3604\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3607,"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3604\/revisions\/3607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rcgs.jp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
