- Abstract
- In this chapter, we explore the original cryptopolitical practices and narratives that frame, through digital media, the interpretative junc- tion offered by Muslim Mali. For us, this video game contains multiple layers of encryption within its gameplay, narrative, and computational structure. The same is true of the online controversies it aroused. We argue that both the game and its controversies ambivalently reveal the tensions and emotions embedded in popular culture about the former French colonizer and the West.
