It is also intended that this framework be applicable to other social phenomena, difficulties and what are generally understood as addictions. Thus, drawing on a range of theorists from physics, biology and social theory and following a critique of positivist trends that have been dominant in the gambling research literature to date, a holistic, process-based, multilayered approach is proposed. The secondary aim of this thesis is to increase our understanding of problematic EGM gambling, through an exploratory and creative application of the proposed framework while, at the same time, testing its plausibility and coherence. This framework is thus deployed at the analytical levels of political-economic acting/structuration, everyday life acting/structuration and mediational acting/structuration. It is concluded that the framework is useful, plausible, applicable and creatively fruitful. Through application of the framework, it is also concluded that the shape, size and directions of the EGM industry in Victoria, Australia and elsewhere, have been primarily determined by corporate principles and imperatives and that these are deeply implicated in problematic gambling phenomena. 2008 submitted 55291 2 2384246 dark_document 55291 borrell.pdf application/pdf f428512a84f2f05a7f0e557ff3b234de MD5 1724306 2020-07-15 02:09:14 1411 1 1 application/pdf text Not to be made public unless author advises - see comments en staffonly
