Description
The aim of this paper is to focus on the “infra-narrative” level of video games, i.e., the elements that lie below or on the bangs of the main narrative. In this formal referential, the question is to apprehend whether gameplay bricks can constitute narrative functions and modalities. This approach refers to the work of Vladimir Propp, who in 1928 identified a set of functions in a corpus of Russian fairy tales.
