2023 Cultural Geography Specialty Group Keynote Speaker - Erin Templeton, Oklahoma State University
"Infrasecularity in Stardew Valley"
Stardew Valley is a role-playing and farm simulator video game released by sole creator Eric Barone (online alias ConcernedApe) in 2016. This paper aims to apply an infrasecular (della Dora 2018) lens to the analysis of sacred spaces in Stardew Valley. Della Dora’s (2018) work on infrasecularity stresses the layered nature of sacred spaces. Different belief systems may be present in a single sacred space that interact with each other over time. This paper analyzes the game’s magical ritual spaces, as well as spaces dedicated to reverence of in-game deity “Yoba.” Methods include auto-ethnography, narrative analysis, and content analysis.
