Résumé With this book we are trying to collect some of the Knudepunkt magic. Knudepunkt has always been a forum where innovation and creativity have flourish and where people from the Nordic countries have shared their visions and dreams for the future of larp. The book, like Knudepunkt itself, is about trying to move on from yesterday into tomorrow. The aim is to help the Knudepunkt newbie up to date - as well as spawn creativity, innovation and ideas. There is nothing as practical as a good theory. That is the foundation for this book. In a good theory, you can find ideas, advices and practical solutions to your problems and questions about larp.
The book has five chapters. We start by going back to old memories, telling the tale of the modern Classics of Knudepunkt. In this chapter, you will find some of the most influential and discussed theories and manifests of Knudepunkt - but you will also find up to date comments on the theories from the editors of this book.
In the childhood of larp theory, most texts have been very normative. In That’s larp!, we bring you some descriptive theories, describing what larp is and the processes and interactions taking place at a larp.
In The Real World we will use theories from other sciences in a larp context. larp’ers apply academical theories to larp and thus gives us new insights. By then, you’ve probably had enough of the theory. So in the fourth chapter, Just do it!, we focus on methods for a better larp. Finally, the fifth chapter is a Dictionary of Nordic larp. Petter Bøckman has collected the concepts and words we use, and written down their meaning. Maybe we can understand each other
with his help?
