In essence, the piece seeks to characterise and analyse the animal iconography, and associated 'valuing' of the animals within the poker machines narratives, and to convey a sense of the context of The Gaming Lounge, and the players who inhabit that space. What emerges is insight into the function of these poker machine narratives as popular cultural texts contributing to the construction of non-human animals as commodities, and quite explicitly rendering them as capital. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture (30), p. 114-117 | Publisher: | Antennae Project | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1756-9575 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200212 Screen and Media Culture 190402 Creative Writing (incl Playwriting) |
