Minecraft Utopia

Minecraft Utopia, a collaboration between Dr. Dalia Antonia Caraballo Muller and Dr. Chris Proctor, is a project to design critical collaborative experiences for children focused on Glissant's (1990) concept of Relación, or a focus on the whole rather than on the individual, seeing ourselves in and through relation with others. During a weekly summer workshop with ten-year-olds in Minecraft, participants imagined new modes of working together to create shared projects. We studied participants' emerging intersubjectivity using analytics collected from the Minecraft server.
