Nota di contenuto

Choreographing the spirit : fascism, folklorization, and everyday resistance -- Battling the bonitinho : revolution, reform, and ethnographic authenticity -- From intestines into heart : the performance of cultural kinship -- Festival hospitality : new paradigms of travel and exchange -- "We will not be jazzed up!" : Lisbon 94 and ranchos' festival absence -- Dancing along the in-between : folklore performance and transmigration in Newark, New Jersey.

Sommario/riassunto

This book embraces "invented tradition" as process rather than event, presenting an ethnography not only of folkloric revivalism but of sweeping cultural transformation, promoted alternately by authoritarianism, democracy, emigration, and European unification.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a description of advanced multi-agent and artificial intelligence technologies for the modeling and simulation of complex systems, as well as an overview of the latest scientific efforts in this field. A complex system features a large number of interacting components, whose aggregate activities are nonlinear and self-organized. A multi-agent system is a group or society of agents which interact with others cooperatively and/or competitively in order to reach their individual or common goals. Multi-agent systems are suitable for modeling and simulation of complex systems, which is difficult to accomplish using traditional computational approaches.
