Atravessando o círculo mágico em jogos pervasivos: performance e presença em espaços heterotópicos

This paper analyses digital "pervasive games" as heterotopic spaces understood in terms of presence and performance. The goal of these reflections is to consider the body as part of a spatiality that occupies not only the place of the ordinary in everyday urban spaces, but also implies a physical representation of (narrative) diegesis when triggered as part of the fiction when immersed in "pervasive" environments. It is argued that heterotopia allows transcending spatial and temporal boundaries in order to pass through a magic mirror, interacting with these fictional narratives that approach utopia through the performance itself, as subjects in their real bodily materiality, but also as an element of diegesis in the pervasive game itself.
