Sarah Beyvers teaches British literature and culture at the University of Passau, Germany. Her research interests include neo-Victorianism, fandom, video game narratology, and queer play. She has published articles on unreliable video game narration, fanfiction and collective creatorship, contemporary film as well as queer representation. Her PhD project is concerned with the role of spatial explorability and interactivity in video games that reimagine the Victorian age. In “Walk Like a Victorian: Spatial Engagement and Embodied Mobility in Neo-Victorian Video Games”, Sarah Beyvers examines the neo-Victorian potential of games based on their spatiality. She argues that the player’s exploration of neo-Victorian gamespaces allows them to engage with reworkings of Victorian spaces of class and gender through embodiment and mobility in a critical as well as playful manner.
