Tiivistelmä
From images to actors: on research of female representations in digital games
Women's place amongst the gaming industry, its products and customers has been a widely discussed topic recently. In this review I approach the problematic relationship between female gender and games through the topic of female representation in digital games. I present initial findings from my master's thesis in which I examine how female representations are built in games and how it can be studied using content analysis as a method. I claim that the character presentations should be studied particularly through the character's agency and the interaction between characters and between the characters and the player. I also describe common elements found in the female character representations in my data comparing them to findings made in earlier studies.
