ABSTRACT

In this overview paper, we consider interactive digital narratives (IDN) as a means to represent and enable understanding of complex topics both at the public level (e.g. global warming, the COVID-19 pandemic, migration, or e-mobility) and at the personal level (trauma and other mental health issues, interpersonal relationships). We discuss scholarly, artistic, and non-fiction approaches to complexity, point out limitations of traditional media to represent complex issues, and describe the foundational advantages of IDN in this regard, using the SPP model as a conceptual lens. Then, we describe the problem space of IDN for complexity, and what aspects need further work in order to more fully realise the potential of IDN to represent complex topic in education and public communication.

摘要

在这篇概述文件中，我们将交互式数字叙事 (IDN) 视为一种在公众层面（例如全球变暖、COVID-19 大流行病、移民或电动汽车）和公共层面表达和理解复杂主题的手段。个人层面（创伤和其他心理健康问题、人际关系）。我们讨论复杂性的学术、艺术和非小说类方法，指出传统媒体在表现复杂问题方面的局限性，并使用 SPP 模型作为概念镜头描述 IDN 在这方面的基本优势。然后，我们描述了国际化域名 (IDN) 的复杂性问题空间，以及哪些方面需要进一步工作，以便更充分地发挥国际化域名 (IDN) 在教育和公共传播中代表复杂主题的潜力。
