遊戲模組的類型、創作動機與互文挪用

Abstract

由於電玩遊戲模組的制動文本特質，因此遊戲模組創作者具備了玩家─作者的雙重角色。本研究以《上古卷軸五：無界天際》為目標案例，首先對模組創作類型進行描繪，並且進一步探討模組類型與創作動機之間的關連性，同時採取互文挪用的觀點來思考模組創作做為一種參與文化與創意歷程的文化意涵。

To the extent that video game mods are considered as a type of cybertext, game modders virtually play a double role of player-authorship. Taking the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as the case subject for analysis, the present paper attempts to first map the typology of game mods, and then investigate the relations between mod types and modding motivations. The paper also employs the viewpoint of intertextual appropriation to reflect on the cultural implications of modding as a form of participatory culture and creative process.
