This article delves into the current vision of irony as an aesthetic category after it has failed as a strategy in postmodern narrative. The article analyses the concept of irony in relation to defamiliarization strategies in order to foreground the difficulties of both, irony and defamiliarization, in criticising contemporary society, a society that has become standardised and choreographed to the extreme. The example of e-games is presented as a showcase of the lack of interest in mystery in the new ludic scenario, where the appeal of the unknown has been replaced by the desire to remain within the uniformity of the «already felt».Downloads
