Biography

Bo Kampmann Walther holds a Master's degree in literature and philosophy, and his research reflects a strong intertwining of literary and philosophical aspects. His primary focus is on the study of new media, particularly video games, which he examines through lenses of architecture, narrative, and reward structures. In addition to his research, he engages in teaching and public speaking and has developed the concept of 'ludification', exploring how video games relate to other media such as television series. He has a substantial journalistic portfolio, primarily in sports and cultural journalism, and has authored several books on football. He is currently working on a larger project related to Tolkien, combining literary, media studies, and philosophical perspectives, alongside a book on gameplay phenomena.
