Fittingly, John von Neumann's game theory, as a mathematical subdiscipline practically abandoned by its founder after the publication of 'Zur Theorie der Gesellschaftsspiele' (1928), but purposefully reengaged with on his permanent relocation to America in 1938, carries the minoritarian credentials of a Hungarian-born national of Jewish descent. The state of international politics in the late 1930s certainly contributed to von Neumann's renewed interest in his theory, but a socioeconomic environment built on the legacy of slavery focused a reengagement with coordination problems that would last until his death. In these strategic situations, people must make choices in the knowledge that other people face the same options and that the outcome for each person will result from everybody's decisions. The four most frequently encountered coordination problems are the Stag Hunt, the Prisoner's Dilemma, Chicken, and Deadlock Minoritarians find majoritarian attempts to control these social dilemmas particularly challenging. Hence, a game-theoretically inflected hermeneutic that identifies the logical, rational, and strategic state of human interrelations not only helps to categorize, but also to analyze minoritarian texts. The authors under detailed consideration are Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglass, Harriet A. Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, and Mohsin Hamid.AmericaLiteraturesAfrican literatureCultureStudy and teachingAnthropologyGame theoryNorth American LiteratureAfrican LiteratureCultural StudiesAnthropologyGame TheoryAmericaLiteratures.African literature.CultureStudy and teaching.Anthropology.Game theory.North American Literature.African Literature.Cultural Studies.Anthropology.Game Theory.810.9920693LIT000000LIT004020LIT004040bisacshWainwright Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut846441BOOK9910255250603321Game Theory and Minorities in American Literature2525066UNINA06274nam 22009015 450 991048480620332120251226203159.03-642-04383-610.1007/978-3-642-04383-3(CKB)1000000000772841(SSID)ssj0000315700(PQKBManifestationID)11212448(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000315700(PQKBWorkID)10255033(PQKB)10685710(DE-He213)978-3-642-04383-3(MiAaPQ)EBC3064546(PPN)139955623(EXLCZ)99100000000077284120100301d2009 u| 0engurcn#---|||||txtccrAd-Hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks 8th International Conference, ADHOC-NOW 2009, Murcia, Spain, September 22-25, 2009, Proceedings /edited by Pedro M.
