Hi, thanks for your interest in my MIT: Work of Stories paper and presentation project.

A draft of the paper may be downloaded here.

Overall, the paper is about 90% finished. I will be continuing to revise over the course of ... who knows. Quite a while, probably. However, I will continue to update the above file as I make changes. I will post a notice to this page when a final draft is complete.

Any and all critical responses are welcome.

Please email me at jagatucci@cocc.edu if there are any questions or comments about this project.

Recent Changes:

Revamped Intro section and Part 2: Comparative Framework: Vietnam and WWII

Near-Future Revisions Goals:

• Revamp and Streamline Part 3:  Preparing for Truth: Establishing Ethical Boundaries for Gameplay
  
  Expand on types of external narrative devices used to establish the player's attitude toward the subject matter of the game (i.e., WWII)
   

• Revamp and Streamline Part 4:  Gaming Toward Truth: “Find, Fix, Flank and Finish”
         
  Add close read and description of a specific chapter from Brothers In Arms, where the aim is to establish how in-game evidence of  authenticity and realism complement the rhetorical posture established by sources that operate externally from the game (discussed in Part 3)
   

• Write Part 5: Concessions and Qualifications about Gaming, Truth, and the Warfare Experience
