Exploring Mixed Realism in Media

This chapter investigates the concept of mixed realism in media, particularly through Tom Wolfe's new journalism and Truman Capote's 'In Cold Blood.' It examines the ethical complexities of Capote's storytelling, the impact of immersion in narrative, and the ontological discrepancies in literature and video games. The discussion draws on examples from both texts and video games, critiquing existing theories while examining the relationship between gameplay mechanics and representation.
