On 4 and 5 June 2013 in Valenciennes, during the "e-virtuoses" scientific convention, dedicated to the use of games and play (digital or not) for utilitarian purposes, we will host a scientific symposium entitled "Games for all purposes? Appropriation, Repurposing and Rejection".
The objects of study will include in particular:
The objects of study will include in particular:
- Serious Game: the combination of a serious intention - education, information, communication, marketing, ideology, coaching or data collection - with a game including rules and targets.
- Serious Play: the combination of a serious intention - education, information, communication, marketing, ideology, coaching or data collection - with a toy.

These objects challenge the notions of prevention, training, knowledge assessment, coaching, communication, data collection, etc. in various fields such as education, healthcare, marketing, safety, culture...
The purpose of this Symposium is to present approaches, paradigms and feedbacks using theoretical frameworks and methodologies that help observe, measure and analyse the impact of these objects and of the resulting transformations: acceptance, appropriation, resistance, repurposing, rejection...
Different types of analyses can be suggested for different types of purposes, uses and scopes:
- Analysis of products
- Analysis of policies
- Analysis of designs
- Analysis of practices
- ...
This Symposium is intended to encourage reflection that will be fuelled by inputs from various disciplines such as education, information and communication sciences, management, IT, neurosciences, psychology, sociology, medicine, arts...
