| Abstract | The following paper deals with the question of whether we can conceptualise "non-space" through the fast-travel mechanic in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, 2011). In order to deal with the posed question, I shall be viewing Maurice Merleau-Ponty's concept of the perception of space. This shall serve as the basis for us to then continue our discussion on space. Then, I shall move onto Yi-Fu Tuan and Edward Casey's philosophies of navigation and place respectively in order to further view how people deal with space and movement. Keeping all this in mind, I shall see how Merleau-Ponty has been applied to digital games through Rune Klevjer's understanding of avatar based games. Following this, I shall examine Marie Laure Ryan's concept of recentering and how this has been applied to virtual environments through Jan Van Looy's virtual recentering. This will give us a holistic view of how players navigate and perceive space in a virtual environment. |
