Im Dezember 2012 diskutierten in Brasilien, an der Universidade Federal Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, renommierte Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaftler über Vilém Flusser (1920-1991), vormals Professor für Kommunikationsphilosophie in São Paulo, und seine Bedeutung für die Medienkultur heute. Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert die dort vorgetragenen Referate erstmals und in deutscher Sprache.

Spiel und Medien gehören zu den Menschen, umso mehr, je weiter die Computerisiserung und Mediatisierung der Gesellschaft voranschreiten. All dies nimmt bei Vilém Flusser, einem der Pioniere der Kommunikations- und Medienphilosophie, eine bedeutsame Stellung ein, was den Anlaß dafür bot, dem Thema Medien und Spiel das II. Internationale Symposium zur Medienkultur nach Vilém Flusser zu widmen. Dabei war die leitende Idee, mit Impulsbeiträgen der Referenten und den jeweils anschließenden gemeinsamen Diskussionsrunden einen intensiven wissenschaftlichen Austausch zu fördern, dessen Anregungen in die ausgearbeiteten Beiträge einfließen konnten.
