Video games have also entered museums and exhibitions, where they are presented as newcomers to cultural heritage. Drawing on an ethnographic study conducted behind the scenes of one such exhibition, this talk explores the processes through which video games are turned into heritage, and the ways in which gender dynamics shape these activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-the-speaker\"\n    >\nAbout the speaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marion Coville<\/strong> is an Associate Professor in Information and Communication Sciences at the Universit\u00e9 de Poitiers, France. Their research investigates how gender and technology intersect, with a particular focus on the ways digital environments shape and are shaped by gendered identities and practices. As co-founder of the \u201cQueer Games\u201d workshop and former member of the queer and feminist hackerspace <em>Le Reset<\/em> (2015\u20132020), they have been actively engaged in creating spaces for critical reflection on inclusivity, representation, and activism within technological and gaming cultures.
