Ingrid Matschinegg

I am a historian with a strong interest in medievalisms. This medievalist approach also plays a significant role in my field of research, historical game studies, where medievalism appear in countless and highly varied forms. I see this research as part of the Digital Humanities, which also guides my scholarly work at IMAREAL. Here, my focus is on data structures and the potential uses of digital and digitized sources and data in general.

Currently, my research delves into magic in digital games and the power dynamics this theme introduces within the medium. Additionally, I explore the complex interplay between virtual worlds and material culture. In my teaching, I am also dedicated to game studies as part of the Digital Humanities and to the potential unique data structures may offer for research and public history.
