Abstract
This thesis explores the fractal structure of the popular video game Assassin’s Creed (2008). It theorizes a model of fractal analysis which seems to overlap with a vision of a stratified underworld. It explores the existence of a political dimension to fractal aesthetics, which it claims is alert to important biopolitical insights concerning the situation of contemporary digital power. Drawing from Timothy Morton’s analysis of hyperobjects, it argues that fractals pertain to vital contemporary political questions. Analysing Steven Shaviro’s concept of modulation, the essay finds fractal analysis to be alert to contemporary questions of digital biopolitics. The essay claims that the fractal structure of Assassin’s Creed constitutes an innovative recognition of the biopolitics of video game playing.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje fraktalnu strukturu popularne video igre Assassin's Creed (2008). Također se postavlja teorijska osnova fraktalne analize koja se poklapa sa strukturom stratificiranog podzemnog svijeta. Ispituje se mogućnost postojanja političke dimenzije fraktalne estetike, za koju tvrdim da je relevantna u istraživanju važnih biopolitičkih uvida u suvremenu digitalnu moć. Polazeći od analize hiperobjekata Timothyja Mortona, tvrdim da fraktalnost igra ulogu u važnim suvremenim političkim pitanjima. Služeći se analizom pojma modulacije Stevena Shavira, ovaj rad dokazuje da je fraktalna analiza relevantna u istraživanju suvremenih problema digitalne biopolitike. Rad zaključuje da fraktalna struktura video igre Assassin's Creed ukazuje na biopolitiku video igara.
