How to study a media object on the web that is at the same time a documentary, a reportage, and a game which combines both fiction and non-fiction elements? Nicole Braida digs into the discursive and material structures and infrastructures of serious games, text-adventures, newsgames, interactive maps and data visualizations, in which refugees and migrants become the subject of humanitarian discourse. Although the goal is to arouse empathy towards migrants, these ≫interactive practices≪ distinguish who is vulnerable and who is not. It supports the idea of a ≫migratory crisis≪, which, the author argues, is actually the symptom of a deeper crisis of the humanitarian system itself.
