El videojuego como medio narrativo, forma de aprendizaje y consolidación del relato histórico

Abstract

This graduation project, framed within the creation-interpretation methodology, analyzes the video game as a narrative medium, a cultural representation, and an educational tool. Based on an approach that articulates theoretical research with aesthetic practice, an expository video-documentary was developed to examine the medium's responsibility in the consolidation of historical memory and the formation of critical thinking. Through the analysis of titles such as War Thunder, Six Days in Fallujah, Age of Empires II, and Tetris, the project explores interactive narrative, the transmission of ideologies, and cognitive learning through simulation. The results show that the video game is an autonomous narrative medium that turns the player into an active subject and co-author of the story. It is concluded that video game environments function as pedagogical spaces and active vehicles in the reconstruction of collective memory, which demands an unavoidable ethical co-responsibility among developers, the industry, and players regarding the representations of the past, violence, and reality.
