| Abstract |
The main objective of this study is focused on understanding whether\n gamification narratives can represent a useful tool for citizen\n empowerment with which to motivate individual participation in\n cyber-democratic environments. Regarding this purpose, a representative\n group of two gamification products with an activist undertone have been\n selected: the interactive documentary "Fort McMoney" and the serous game\n "A Force More Powerful". Then, this research has applied a qualitative\n methodology that combines the Octalysis model (Chou, 2015) and the\n Ladder of participation paradigm (Amstein, 1969). The results show that\n gamification narratives are a tool for citizen empowerment and favour\n cyber-activist actions. However, these projects can lead into a\n pseudo-activism for lazy people as well. |
