 ''Scenes that interrupt and contextualize an ongoing scene by presenting information relevant to the current situation.''

[[Contextualization]] is a technique that allows players to enact flashback or ''flashforwards'' that interrupt the current scene to present additional information about it.

-The ''Black Box''<ref name="Black_Box"/> technique in [[:Category:Live Action Roleplaying Games|Live Action Roleplaying Games]] is a archetypal example of [[Contextualization]]. The ''Make a Speech''<ref name="joakim"/> technique used in the LARP Joakim<ref name="joakimwiki"/> shows a public example of contextualization; when players initiate a speech to the absent former classmate Joakim the rule stipulate that the characters hear this speech but the players tell the other players a memory about how they mistreated him.

-The prime design question regarding the use of [[Contextualization]] is when the [[Scenes]] the contextualize should be initialized. Other questions relate to if players can initiate the [[Contextualization|[[Contextualizations]] or if only [[Game Masters]] or events begin them, if they should be flashbacks or "flashforwards", and if they should make use of other [[Characters]].

 [[Contextualization]] is a [[Meta-Techniques|Meta-Technique]] using whole [[Scenes]] as its format, thereby both creating [[Scenes]] and modifying existing ones.

-The use of the pattern modifies players possibility of [[Enactment]] in that they can portray [[Characters]] at other times or even other [[Characters]] that are relevant to the narration.
