چکیده

Call of duty is a popular first-person shooter (fps) game. call of duty: modern warfare (2007) was the first game in the franchise which did not focus on the world wars' history. it was also the first call of duty which had a continuous interactive digital narrative (idn). this article attempts to take a comparative approach to the game. as a cultural product, the game is susceptible to postcolonial and orientalist discourses. this article attempts to apply edward wadie said's theories to call of duty: modern warfare in order to prove that the game's idn was shaped by postcolonialism and orientalism. the game functioned as a cultural medium which disseminated orientalist discourses amongst its player base. as such, this article tries to not only shed light upon a lesser-known aspect of call of duty: modern warfare but also to demonstrate that computer games are not exempt from external cultural forces.

call of duty is a popular first-person shooter (fps) game. call of duty: modern warfare (2007) was the first game in the franchise which did not focus on the world wars' history. it was also the first call of duty which had a continuous interactive digital narrative (idn). this article attempts to take a comparative approach to the game. as a cultural product, the game is susceptible to postcolonial and orientalist discourses. this article attempts to apply edward wadie said's theories to call of duty: modern warfare in order to prove that the game's idn was shaped by postcolonialism and orientalism. the game functioned as a cultural medium which disseminated orientalist discourses amongst its player base. as such, this article tries to not only shed light upon a lesser-known aspect of call of duty: modern warfare but also to demonstrate that computer games are not exempt from external cultural forces.
