Abstract

O presente texto realiza um breve estudo conceitual sobre o jogo e o lúdico. A partir da exposição das estruturais mediais e ontológicas do jogo, este trabalho argumenta sobre a sua particularidade como uma experiência de limiar. Por fim, por meio de uma caracterização das especificidades dos jogos de computador, levanta-se a discussão sobre um conflito conceitual entre jogo e comunicação.
